(From our own correspondent.) October 31. On Sunday afternoon the Vincentian Orchestra under the auspices of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, paid a visit to the Old People's Home at Park Island, for the purpose of entertaining the inmates. A very acceptable programme of instrumental music was given, whilst Mr. J. Madigan rendered two songs in his usually artistic manner. At the conclusion of the concert the. manager (Mr. Kitchens) thanked the visitors for their splendid entertainment, and expressed the hope that they would soon revisit the institution. Afternoon tea was then dispensed and much appreciated by ,the visitors. The electric tramway system, which was opened here during the first week in September, is proving a great convenience, and promises to become a paying concern. Already propositions have been put forward for the increase of rolling stock and the extension of the lines. _ Electric lighting has been installed, and is being rapidly connected to residences and business premises.
