Gisborne
The concert arranged by the Sisters of St. Joseph, and carried out by the pupils of the Convent School in aid of the Belgian Fund was a great success. The crowded state of His Majesty’s Theatre testified to the great popularity of the convent entertainments, and on this occasion especially the enthusiastic plaudits of the large audience showed its appreciation. The poem, * Belgium, 1914/ composed for the occasion by Dr. Collins, of Gisborne, and recited by Master J. Hale with fine declamatory effect, evoked much enthusiasm. A first-class programme was gone through, which shows the splendid tuition received by the pupils at the hands of their devoted teachers. The Belgian fund is expected to benefit to the extent of between £6O and £7O as a result of the concert. . '
