TRE-CONCERT AT THE PEAK,

Last evening a most enjoyable Ballad Concent was given in the spaclova dlaing-room of the Peak Hotel, in akl of the funds of the Benevolent Society, by a few of our leading amateurs, under the patronaga of His "Excellency the Governor, Major-General Black and Commodore Holland.

The room had been tastefully stranged, the stage balog pritlly druped and adorned whi numerous palms and forax, while two excellent standard lamps with coloured shades shed a- subdued light over the whole and added greatly to the artistic effect,

Mrs. Valllags first sang "Twickenham Ferry" and on an encore being called for gave an excellent rendering of the old Scotch ballad "My love she's bal lassio yet," both of which were enthusiastically applauded. Later in the evening Mrs. Valllogs säng "Caller Hemin " with "Whistle And I'll come to you, my "lad" as an encore, the It is to be regretted that the public so latter being the rem OL the evening. seldom have the opportunity of hearing this talented vocalist. Miss Coxon's rendering of Godard's "Berceuse was excellent, her pro nunciation being perfect. "The dearest spot on Earth" was given as an encore, both songs being greeted with lead applause. In the second part Miss Coxon mag Campana's Duet "See the pale Moon" with Mr. Sliman, the two voices blending exquisitely. The only other lady vocailst was Mrs. Welman, who sang "When thy Biza Eyes," Lassen, in a rich contralto volca.

Mr. Silman's rich tenor voice wan' diplayed to great advantage in *An Evening Song" by Blumenthal, which was greatly appreciated by the audience. He is certainly entitied to a high place in the make of our focal singers. "Is love a dream ?" from the Aritii's Modil, wa sung by Mr. Grace in his rich and powerful baritone, of which the Hongkong public are never likely to tire, if one may judge from the reception accorded him.
