A very enthusiastic review of the third Cairns Liedertafel concert, the only reservations being the piano and the acoustic properties of the Divisional Hall. The writer states: 'We do not wish to hurt the feelings of the instrument, but we cannot help remarking that when the bottom fell out of it some time ago all the harmony escaped.'. The honorary conductor, Mr Slade, was deservedly presented with a golden lyre fashioned by a local jeweller.

Epigraph: 'Music has charms to soothe a savage breast,/To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.'
