Mr. R.B. White’s Concert.-
On Wednesday evening Mr R.B.White gave a concert of miscellaneous music, under the patronage of His Excellency, in White’s Assembly Room. The attendance was not very great. Our talented and accomplished young townsman was assisted by Miss Bryan, Miss Tozer (sister of Mrs Pertman), miss Polhill, Mr Christen, and Mr. Schrader, each of whom fully sustained their previous reputation. The programme included some very choice morceaux, almost the whole of which were encored. Mr White’s performances, both on the violin and the piano, elicited the most enthusiastic applause and indeed the same remark applies, with some slight modification, to most of the other performers. In Braham’s Bird Duet, the voices of Miss Bryan and Miss Tozer blended most harmoniously together. Miss Polhill gave evidence of great skill as a pianist; and Mr Schrader by his performances of the cornopean, fairly thrilled the audience. Mr Christen sang with his usual accuracy, but required a little more animation on order to enable the audience fully to appreciate his fine vocal powers. The performances were concluded with the National Anthem at about a quarter past 10 O’clock.
