Concert.

There was a crowded attendance at the Church of England concert at the school room on Tuesday evening. The programme, which was a good and varied one, was gone through with great credit to those who contributed to the evening's entertainment. The first item was a pianoforte duet, nicely played by Mesdames Gardiner and Parris. Mrs Graham sang “ The song that reached my heart,” in her usual fine style, having to respond to an encore. The Gend’armes 1 song was capitally rendered by Messis Dalrymple, Ward, and Chrisp. Miss Adair then sang “The Old and Young Marie,” in a very nice manner, receiving an encore. Mr Reynolds sang “ Out on the deep.” The instrumental quartette, “ Mocking-bird March,” by Messrs Davis, Veale, Parnell and Foster, was loudly applauded by the audience. Miss Holroyd’s rendering of “ Call me back ” was very pleasing, and of course much appreciated. A recitation by Mr Gillmore was followed by a song of Mrs Jex Blake, who had to respond to a well-deserved encore. The trio “ O Memory,” by Mesdames Graham and Sunderland, and Mr Dalrymple, was excellently rendered, and they had to respond to an encore. The song “ Such is Life ” was sweetly sung by Miss Langford, who was recalled. Mr Dalrymple, who is always a favorite with the Gisborne public, sang the song “ Friends,” in his usual finished style. Mrs Sunderland sang the quaint song“ Of course,” which was much applauded by the audience. The Christy Minstrel song “ Hard times” was well rendered by Miss Holroyd. The singing of the National Anthem was the concluding item of a very successful concert.
