The programme opened with a quintette, the " Bohemian Girl," by Miss Galbraith, Messrs Eiordan, M'Carthy, Isherwood and Seelen, which was very carefully rendered. MiBS Clear? contributed " For Ever and For Ever" in taking Btyle, while Mrs G. Raynor was very deservedly encored for her singing of " Old and New." Misses Hildjard and Hollis gave a duet, "The Blood- red Banner," in which their voices blended very nicely ; and Miss Hildyard afterwards sang " White Wings" in a careful manner. Master D. Kenny was encored for the plantation song and dance, " Sunny Country," as was also Mr E. Auty for his comic song. Mr G. E. Collins was heard to advantage in " Queen of the Earth," and Mr Eiordan contributed a violin solo in finished style. The second part of the programme consisted of a military tableau, "Preparing for Cavalry," by a squad of the Lyttelton Navals, and the programme was concluded by the production of the operetta Fairy Voices, in which Miss Lily Derbidge made a very pretty Fairy Queen, and was ably supported by some twenty fairies. singing and drilling of the little maids was done in a most creditable manner, and reflected the greatest credit upon Miss O'Brien, who was responsible for their training. Miss O'Brien also acted as accompanist during the evening. - Canteebuet Mounted Eifles. — The first mounted parade of this corps for the season was hold in Hagley Park on Tues day evening.
