NEWS AND NOTES. Yesterday afternoon [29 Nov] a concert was held at the Lunatic Asylum, Fremantle, before a large audience of the inmates and a number of visitors. The entertainment was given in the fine new hall in the new wing just completed, this being the first occasion on which the new building has been used for such a purpose. The programme [...] was kindly contributed by the members of the Fremantle Orchestral Society, under the baton of Mr. C. L. Clifton, and Miss Clare Robinson and a dozen of her talented pupils in the Fremantle music and [?] classes. Dr Barnett, superintendent of the Asylum [...] remarked that there was no section in the community to whom music was more helpful than those who were the audience at this concert.
