LISMORE.

From Our Own Cerro.'pondent.

A very successful coneart was given in the Liamore school to a thronged house on Thursday i«st, in aid of the school funds. Mr F. de C. Maltt, presided. The pro gramme commecued with an overture by Mr Hall, of Ruipuni-, which was excellently rcndcit>a. Solos , were contributed by Mesdames Pmcbas uml Be« cej the Misses Malot and Cree, the Rev. H. ru.oban «4 Mr W. P. Kellock, the renderings of which were a thorough treat and left nothing to be desired. Comic songs were given by Messrs D. Miller and J. Dellow, and were well appreciated by the audience. A duet by the Rev. H. and Mrs Purchaa wu capitally given; a violin solo with piano forte accompaniment was artistically given by the same lady and gentleman. Instru mental pieces were played by the Missm Maleb and Burr in a capital style, and well deserved the tremendous applause accorded them. As an interlude to the programme the school children go.ye a play admirably sketched, and well placed on the boards, , under the leadership of Mrs Burr, who deserves every praise for the thoroughness of her work. The pianoforte accompani ments were played by Mrs Chystal and Mr Hall,-who in themselves are a sufficient guarantee for a perfect treat. The singing of the National Anthem brought what any good musical critic would teim a superior concert to a close. The Chairman thanked the ladies and gentlemen performers for their able services and eulogised the efforts of the School Committee in supply ing the long felt want of a first rate enter* taiument. Mesdamea Kelleck, Paterson, Dyer, Bell and Smith provided refreshment! for the performers and their friends.
