HINDS

From Our Own Corrospowteat

, The concert given on Thursday evening at j Hindi maid of the .chool priie fund*?, touted a very Urge and highfy appreciative auaience, every available «p»o£ being cSmTJ packed. Flag,, dowers and evfrgSX were used with very pleasing effect and did great credn. to thow who carried oJt the decoraaons. The first item on a most .£ tractive programme was "Grandfather*. l° k J'tt?/ hy, the sohool children, and when Mr bheldon drew the curtain aside hi* I crowd of bright happy looking pup il« were greeted with au encouraging round of heart? applause. The little one. Bang m a very plea«ing and highly creditable manner, and they had to respond to a well deserved and undeniable encore.. The duet "I don't want to play m your yard " waa rendered m * Tlfcf h*rinin ß WV b 7 Mine, Norrish ftud Miller, two little dote who sang to tunefully, and aoted w naturally as to thoroughly captivate the whole of the large audience, who greeted the Very youthful vocalists with loud and prolonged applause and who could not be satisfied till the little one, came back "and repeated the item. r **•«*£?■■«» was the rendering of Woa>t you bay my pretty flower, "by th!l t *.e^ l glris' "lbe W* g»«ff«f' »J. "ttw." recited by some of the school boys, caused a Jot of merriment, and afforded abundant proof that the youth of Hinds have a very keen sense of humor: for where there was a chance of putting m an extra bit of by play the lads who were reciting were not Blow either by wink, nod, smile, or the emphasising bt any telling words. The headmaster ot the school, Mr bheldon, conducted during the rendering of each of the items by the school children, and the precision and tunefulness with which the little ones performed their respective parts gave evidence of much careful and in* telligent training. "The old brigade 1* rendered by Mr A. Gordon, "When the tide comes m" by Miss Barratt, "The sea is England's glory" by Mr W. Brooking, •• Kerry dance " by Miss Lambie, a song by Miae Ranger, and a cornet solo " Watch on the Rhine " by Jlr A. Gordon, all added very much to the enjoyment of the first part of the programme, which was concluded by Mr D. Miller appearing m character and singing (as only Mr Miller can sing) two Irish songs, which made the sides of every one m the room fairly shake with uncon trolable laughter. After a brief interval Mr H. A. Gates introduced his Diamond Jubilee Sereaaders, who proceeded to give the audience a genuine musical treat. The "Queen's prize," Mr H. A. Gates violio, Mr A. Gordon cornet, and Mrs Claridge at the piano, was thefirafc item; followed by "Eileen Alasnah," Mr Burgess; ''Loye't serenade," Miss Lambie; "Sweet and low," by the serenades; "The lion heart, of England," Mr W. Brooking ; .•• Summer shower," Miss Barratt; "Swinging m the g«r?^.Vi?e»" Mr.H * Gate8 > an<* » chorai $ " H»il Victoria," Miss Ranger, and a chorus; II Good night beloved," by the serenades, were amougst the items which drew fotth rapturous applause. The comic quartet "bobbing," w»sgiven by Miss Gates, Mrs H. Gates, Mr H. Gates and Mr Ward. It " waa oleveriy rendered and Joadly r« demanded. Mr Gates was a host m himself, tie infused such an amount of quiet irresist ible humor into his part as to fairly bring down the house, Mrs and Mies Gates also smug and acted their parts m a most pleasing : munaer, while Mr Ward eaDg correctly and entered thoroughly into the-fun of the quarter. The National Anthem brought a most successful conceit to a close. Mn Claridge pluyed ail the accompaniment, with one exception, Mrs D. Miller ac companying the httle dots who didn's want to play m the other's yard. A dance to the music of Gated' band followed the concert. It is scarcely uecushary to mention that the ladies and other nit mbera of the committee of management eolertamed those who as sisted at the concert and dance m a moat hospitable manner, and worked very hard m every way to make the gathering an on qualified success.
