CONCERT AT NORTHCOTE.

A concert was given on Wednesday night in the schoolroom at Northcote, by the employe's of the Sugar Works, and was the most successful evw known in this rising suburb. It was given on behalf of the mission hall building, which ia almost com pleted, and we should think would prove a good help to the funds. The great feature in if was the fact that the men worked it up entirely themselves. The chair was occu pied by Mr E. V. Miller, the popular man ager of the works, and at half past seven there was no standing-room. The various parts of the programme wore well rendered, and everyone was delighted, as was shown by the hearty way in "which the vote of thauks was given, after being proposed by the Rev. A. J. Hitchcock. The following was the programme s—Solo (pianoforte), Mrs McManus; songs, "A Flower from my Angel Mother's Grave" and " Sailing,' Mr G. Coseon ; recitations, "David's Lament for his Son Abeolom" and "Housekeeper's Tragedy," Mr W. Porter; songs, "Two Roses" and "BluoAlsatian Mountains,"Miss Breach) songs, "Tom Bowling" and "The Scout," Mr W. H Inompson; read ing, Mr Judd j eolo (trombone), " Kil larney," Mr J. O'Neil; eong (comic), " The Greenhorn," Mr R. Alexander) song, "Lovo's Request," Miss Eva Buckley; rcoitation, " Tho Uncle," Mr J. Robertson • sons, "Wait till tho Clouds Roll By," Mr H.
