FREMANTLE LUNATIC ASYLUM.-A concert was given in the presence of a large number of visitors at the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum yesterday afternoon, with
the object of affording the inmates some relaxation from the oppressiveness of their confinement. Dr. Hope, the Government medical officer, and the ladies and gentlemen who took part, are deserving of every commendation for their charitableness in having organised the entertainment for the benefit of the patients. The various items on the programme were received with every mark of pleasure by the inmates of the institution who were present. Musical selections were contributed by Misses Hatchett, Feltham, O'Hara (2), Cameron, Langdon and Harken. Mr. C. A. Pattinson was applauded for his rendering of "To err is human," and Messrs. Butcher, C. Glasson and S. Evans materially assisted in the success of the entertainment. It is the intention of the asylum authorities to give similar performances at regular intervals.
