Of the rendition of this programme it is
impossible to speak except in general
terms g The duet By Nine. d'Auria and
Miss G. Duncan was heartily applauded,
and its rendition was very generally en-
ioyed. Mr. Will DAY did not seem TO be
in as good voice as on former occasions,
but nevertheless his appearance upon the
stage was the signal for a round Of sp.
plsuse, and on concluding his number he
was recalled by his host OF friends. Mrs.
Whitaker sang the well.kDown "Erl King"
with her usual taste and finish. She was
judiciously accompanied by Prof. II.
Schockey. Mr.. F. J. Norton sang Wal
"a Fathers Love" in q
most acceptable manner, and was
rewarded by a recall. Miss Flora Williams
received q genuine ovation upon her COM

programme for a rendition OF Verdis

to noun her inability to be present.
The disappointment Of the audience was
manifest. 1t is not often, however, that
Mrs. Palmer's promises are not fulfilled, as
in a career of ten years as a vocalist she
has disappointed her audience but twice
on each occasion being too i'll to take her
part.

in a manner which held the audience
spell bound until the last note was sung,

again and again, recalled the artistic TO the
