CONCERT AT THE LUNATIC ASYLUM - The fourth monthly concert organised by Mr. W. O. Mason for the entertainment of the inmates of the Lunatic Asylum at Fremantle was given yesterday afternoon [2 Nov] at the institution. The Rev. Canon Sweeting presided. A long programme was gone through, and all the items were highly appreciated. The overture was played by Misses Hawkins and Richards, and songs were contributed by Misses Leroi, Dora Taylor, Thorpe, Sophia Saunders, Hunting, O'Hara, Hatchett, Harkin, Feltham, and Gurry, and Messrs. C. Glasson, Cowan, Carney, and Smith. Miss Rosa Lee gave a club-swinging exhibition, and an acrobatic performance by the Valazio Bros, delighted the onlookers greatly. A laughable sketch, in which most of the company took part, brought an enjoyable entertainment to a close.
