CONCERT. On Thursday evening, February 10, an enjoyable concert was given in the Board School by a party of Newport Pagnell, Wolverton, &c. amateurs who were foregathered together on the occasion at the instance of Messrs. Pike and Whiting. The object in view was giving the villagers something in the way of a good concert, and an ulterior motive in view of raising sufficient funds for the repair of the Carrington School pianoforte. A large representative company was present at the function, and every item on the programme was of more than average merit, as judged fro the encores. A thoroughly satisfactory concert was given, and the object in view seemed to be thoroughly realised in all respects. Dr. Rutherford, Mrs. Masterman, Miss C. Whiting, and Miss Gregory acted as accompanists with much ability, and Mr. J. Pike was an active and indefatigable steward. Programme: - Pianoforte solo, “Selection from Circus Girl,” Dr. Rutherford; song, “Angus Macdonald,” Mrs. A. T. Bailey; song, “Mona,” Mr. W. H. Tarry; banjo duet, “Llanelly polka” (encored), Messrs.
