Industrial Arts Conersazione.
The elements, or one of them at least, fought against the conversazione last night, and had the effect of diminishing the attendance of visitors. Still, there were a good few present, and those who did come had the pleasure of listening to a capital entertainment Selections were played by the Stanmore Brass Band. Miss Carl played two pianoforte solos with taste and expression; Mr. Herman contributed violin solos, and was encored. Songs were given by Miss Scales, Messrs. Adley, Mussen, Parker, and Reid, all of which were well received. The intervals between the music were employed in inspecting the exhibits, which seem never to lose their charm for the visitors. An addition was noticeable in two fancy tables with natural leaves pressed in the tops, exhibited by Mrs. Boulton.
