The Concert given at the Lyceum on Wednesday afternoon by a small party of amateurs for the benefit of the Ladies' Benevolent and other Charitable Societies, was very well attended, ladies formins, as might be expected, the larger part of the audience, and it was a decided success. The Plantation Songs and Choruses were especially enjoyed, and five of the fifteen numbers on the programme were devoted to them. The first, No. 1 on the programme, was Gatti's "Far Away Ober Dere," with solo by Mrs. Valentine; the second, No. 5, Gatti's De Ringtailed Coon," with solo by Mrs. Shorrocl e third, No. 8, Gatti's "But It Is So," with solo by Mr. Maitland, familiar to those who remember the Jubilee performance of William Tell by the A.D.C.; the fourth, No. 13, "De Ole Banjo," with solo by Mr. Wood; and the fifth, No. 15, 'Good Night," with solo by Mr. Nelson. 'The solo vocal numbers included Moir's "Only Once More," No. 2, sung with excellent intonation' by Maitland; No. 4, Schubert's "Who is Sylvia?" so charmingly sung by Miss Wilcockson that she was obliged to give as on encore the pretty. song, The Day Dream 4], Stephen Adams's "By the Fountain," in which Mr, Nelson's fine voice was heard complete enjoyment; No. 9, Allitsen's "Song of Thanksgiving," in which Mrs. Valentine made a great success; No. 12, Roeckel's "Angus Macdonald," splendidly sung by Mrs. Shorrock and also encored, the singer, who reminds us of Madame Patey, re-spending with the immortal "Galler Herrin and No. 14, Hope Temple's "In Sweet September," beautifully sung by Miss Wilcockson, who would have been encored again, but that the starry night was coming on. There was one vocal duet, No. 4, Benedict's The Moon has Raised her Lamp," sung by Mr. Nelson and Mr. Wood, who were encored but only bowed their acknowledgments.

In the latter, a very retty selection, Mr. Ogilvy was embarrassed by the breaking of his E string, but it was heartily ded. The accompaniments tothe vocal ie were shared by Mrs. Jones and Mr. Crompton; and as a slight change, at the end of the first part the always-welcome Mr. Reginald Bevant recited Leland's well-known "In Nevada," which was received with hearty laughter. The idea of giving "Charity Concert in the afternoon was an excellent one, and it was excellently carried out; but on another occasion it would perhaps be well to begin half-an-hour earlier.
