Entertainment by Ancldaml Burns «Jl,jL«.

nfat was a large turn-out at the City M last night on the occasion of Messrs &M. Mtmro and J. G. Harper competing ""Highland dancing for a silver medal and tie championship of New Zealand. Mr Himro being the victor in 37 contests for fe championship in other parts of the wny, and his claim being disputed by an aackland gentleman whose saltatory ac ttjiliskments are of the highest order, jWh interest was taken in the com :jH*on, and variety was added to to proceedings by the members of the wnsClub providing a miscellaneous en- BBinmenfc on the occasion.

"Jessie's Dream," in character and with dramatic adjuncts, Mrs Wright - the "slogan" being supplied by Mr Munro; selection of Scottish airs on the pianoforte, Mrs Angus-an excellent performance, and warmly encored; recitation, "Christmas "Day in the Workhouse," Miss M. A. Moncur-a first- class delineation, while "Cuddle Doon," given in response to an encore, was also much appreciated ; sotis "My Pretty Jane," Mr A. J. Tapper, who gave " Sally in Our Alley" as an encore piece ; (at this stage the Chairman requested that there should be no further recalls); "\\ae s Me for Prince Charlie " (in costume), Miss Glover ; .song, "Mary of Argyle, Mr Colin Peace : recitation, " Address to a Louse, Mr Pitkeithloy ; song. " Forget," Miss Mc- Dermott—very well rendered ; song, "I he Bonmo Hills of Scotland," Mr Carter. After the Highland Fling competition, in which Messrs Munro and Harper acquitted themselves With nearly equal skill, the audience joined in singing " Auld Lang Syne." The pianoforte accompaniments during the evening were well rendered by Mr M~ McDcrmott and Mrs Angus. The Chairman announced to the meeting, before dispersing} the hward of the. judges —Mr Edwards and Captain McLeod-in the dancing contests. They had agreed without reference to the referee -Captain Farquhar-thatMr Harper had performed the sword dance best (applause), and in the Highland reel competition they had also agreed that Mr Munvo was superior. With reference to the Highland ninp- the judges had differed, and the award of the referee had been given in favour of Mr Munro (applause), so that the latter gentleman had to be declared the champion. (Cheers, and cries of "Harper," and " Munro.") Mr Munro, in acknow ledging the plaudits, thanked the people of Auckland for their kind reception, and said that he was proud to have been the winner in a contest with a gentleman who was qualified to dance not only with anyone in the colony, but with anyone in Scotland. (Applause.) He hoped that if any other Aucklander wished to contest the cham pionship he would do so without delay, Mr Harper also returned thanks, acknowledging that he had been fairly vanquished, but hoping that he had at least maintained the honour of Auckland. (Applause). The whole proceedings were of the most harmonious and enthusiastic description, and it is expected that the result will be: the placing of a handsome sum to the credit of the Burns Club Building Fund.
