NEWS AND NOTES. A pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by the inmates of the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum yesterday when Miss Clare Robinson conducted an excellent programme of musical and elocutionary numbers kindly contributed by about twenty of her pupils. Over 100 of the inmates of the institution formed the audience, which proved a warmly appreciative one, and evidently felt pleasurably the break in the monotony of their clouded existences.
