A highly successful concert was given last evening in the Tinakorl Cburchroom under the auspices of the Ladies Working Society, the hall being comfortably filled. The first part of the programme was opened by a pianoforte duet, 44 Norma,” by Misses Staples and Parsons, which was capitally rendered, Mr J, W. Hill’a song, 44 Pilgrim of Love,” and also 44 Good company,” by E, X Hill, was very well sung. The programme had to be slightly altered, on account of the unavoidable absence of Mrs Levin, Recitations were successfully given .by Messrs Brown and Keywortb. Master A. Hill deserves great credit for his violin solo, 41 The daughter of the regiment.” 44 X muse on thee/* by Mrs and Miss Parsons, was deservedly encored, Mr Lindsay’s bass song, 44 Hans Sachs,” was very well sung. The comical element of the concert was ably fur nished by Mr D. Lyon. _ Miss Williams sung 41 Thine is my heart,” instead of the duet which was to have tean given by herself and Mrs Levin. The poultry show yesterday during the earlier part of the day. and more especially in the evening, was largely attended, and indeed for some hours prior to the closing of the ex hibition, locomotion was decidedly difficult in the Arcade. The show baa proved to be an unqualified success, and the highest meed of praise is due not only to Mr T. J. Nicholla (the secretary), but also to the judges and the committee. The judges would appear to have been highly successful in their awards, and but little cavilling with their decisions has been heard. One or two slight inac curacies, due to the haste in which the names of the prize-takers were ticked off, occur in the list published yesterday. In class 7 (black Spanish cock and ben, W. G. King), should read as the first prizeman, with J. R. Skelly 2, and W. G. King 3. In claws 31, J G. Price obtained first honors, with W. G. Kiug in the second place. Mr Price’s hen is far and away the best of Its class in the show. The proceedings last evening were enlivened by the playing of selections of music by the Wellington Private Band under the direction of Mr Walter Mitchell.
