Guards' Concert.

The OddMl.iws Fa!l wa~ packM last evening fur the Ash'mHon (livuvV >ran<i military ami spectacular concert which proved a great success in every respect, the camp scene in particular being, in the opinion of men who lir.vo vet urn od from South Africa, most realistic, including the Kaffir despatch boy. Mrs Johnston's songs, " Lovelight" and " When we meet," were beautifully rendered, but a section of the audience near the door of the Hall was so noisy,'that Mrs Johnston could not be heard so well as she usually is. It is to be hoped that steps will be taken .to prevent a re currence of such conduct on the part of the roughs this evening, by fecuringthe attend ance of a policeman in the building. The tableaux " Back from the front," c"used a good deal of merriment. " The soldiers of the Empire " tableaux was also very good. Mr Mark Faigan charmed his hearers with his clarionet solo " Fantaisie Vnriee," as did Mr If. A. Humphries with that great fav ourite "Alpine Echoes." "Thy sentinel am I," was well received, Mr Anderson being in good voice; and Mr Schwartz was effective as usual in " The Deathless Army." Mr M. J. Burgess sang the "Death of- Nelson " in his b9st stylo. Then came Mr H. A. Gates with his old song, " The Boys of the Old Brigade" (in character). This item received great applause, and Mr Gates j returned and repeated the last verse and j chorus. The last item of the evening was j —the Grand March—one of the finest and j most effective ever witnessed by an Ash- j burton audience. As the different lines of | men came on to the stage, representing different regiments, they were greeted with applause, especially the Ist Life Guazds, j and there is no doubt they looked wonder fully imposing, and the effect was certainly very striking. The march -was carried out j without a single hitch, and wound up with ! a fine chorus from " Patience," called the Dragoon's Chorus, at the close of which the men \rere ordered to present arms, and the National Anthem broughttheentertainment to a close. There should be a crowded house this evening when there will be a change of programme.
