Board of Works. —At the meeting of the Board of Works on Wednesday there wore present —Messrs Luxmooro (chairman), Gray, MoLean, Tailored, Tcsehemaker, and White. After the minutes had been read and con firmed, it was resolved —" That tho Board adjourn to Friday, tho 15th inst. at eleven a.m. Concert. —On Wednesday evening, at the Odd-fellows' Hall, a concert was given by the Timaru Glee Club, assisted by several ladies, m aid of the Hospital Library Fund. There was a very fair attendance, and the total amount taken at the doors was about £30. The concert opened with a spirited solo on the harmonium, played by Mr Bilton. This was followed by Schiller's ' Lay of the bell," by the company, and considering the • difficulty of the piece it was given very creditably. Of course, there were hitches here aud there, but they were such slight ones that the beauty of the com position was not marred to any appreciable extent-. Mr Ziesler took the part of ' Master,' and sustained it well. 'Hark, 'tis some birthday's joyful meeting' was sung by Mrs F. J. Wilson; 'Thepretty maid,' by Mrs F. W. Stnbbs ; 1 Wearied now with toil of day,' by Mrs Horace Brown ; and 'Lo it is the wife be loved,' by Mrs J. Simpson. The manner m which the four solos went showed that great care had been taken m rehearsing them. The pleasing tenor solo, 'Though passion may fly," was taken by Mr Frank Hobbs; the bass solo, ' When metals brittle,' by Mr Feldwick; and ' Hurrah, our work is done,' by Mr F. A, Sims. At the conclusion of the ' Lay of the bell,' Mrs Stubbs sang 'Resignation,' sweetly. The company sang * Praise His awful name,' (from Spohr's Last Judgement, aud this concluded the first part. The second part connneuced with a pianoforte duet from (Don Juan) played by Messrs Biltou and Clulee, m a manner which evoked loud applause. Mr F. Hobbs followed with the ' Mountebank,' and the Glee Club then sang ' Hark, hark the lark,' (Orpheus). Mrs Simpson's solo 'Joyous Life' was encored, and she responded with the last verse. After another glee—' Oft when night 1 (Orpheus).—Mr Eutherfurd gave ' Life's a river,' and was encored, but he did not respond.
