CITY HALL.-ST. MARY'S CONVENT.

At the City Hall last evening the annual concert in connection with St. Mary's Con vent took place. There was a fair at tendance, the dress circle especially being well patronised. The Rev. Fathers Egan, Leniban, and Hackett were amongst those present. Most of the vocal items were rendex-ed so creditably that the inevitable encore had to be responded to. The orchestral part of the programme showed careful rehearsal, though in the operetta due regard to the power of the young vocalists was not shown. The Misses Shanaghan, Kirby, Wright, and Lynch playeof the accompaniments during the evening. The orchestra comprised Messrs Hiscocks, Mahoney, and Swales (violin), M. Sheahan (clarionette), D. Sheahan (flute), Miunford (alto), Kingsford ('cello), Borth wick (double bass). The first part of the programme comprised the following:— Overture, Cavatina from "II Barbiere " (Rossini), orchestra ; song, "My Sweet heart when a Boy," Dr. Erson; song, i4 Alla Stella Confidante " (violin obligato, Herr Tutschka) (V. Rolandi), Miss Rita Tole; song, "Soldier'sJDream" (orchestral ac- Ferriday ; sohg, White Wings;" C. Lorrigan ; Grand Duo Brjlliantefrom "Tanhauser" (Wagner), piano, Miss C. Wright, violin Herr L. Tutschka; song, " La Serenata " (violin cello, Herr Tutschka) (Braga), Miss Hal stead ; recitation, " The Razor Seller," Master Erson ; banjo solo and song, Mr G. W. Dennis; waltz, " X rolls Ball Klange," orchesti-c, After tho interval, the orchestra opened the proceedings with " Menetrier de Sfc. Waarb," which was rendered in good 3tyle, The curtain then rose to the operatta of " Red Riding Hood," which was looked forward to with great interest by the juvenile members of the audience. The operetta evidenced careful training on the part of the performers, and the whole passed off without the slightest hitch. The names of the young ladies taking part in the operetta were:—Red Riding Hood, Mis 3 Fernandez; Mother, Miss Glover; Hugh (Woodman), Miss Bond; Wolf, Miss Jackson ; Robin, Misses Darby and A. Lynch ; Rose, Miss Gleeson; Buttercups, Misses Little and Brown; semi-chorus of Bluebells and chorus of Merry Children by the pupils of St. Patrick's Convent Schools. Mr J. J. Walsh acted an stage director. The pro ceedings closed with the National Anthem.
