The day was auspicious, and we were favoured with
Queen's weather. The schoolroom was very tastefully
decorated with evergreens, mottoes, banners, Ac.
Amongst the numerous company present at the morning
performance we noticed the Rev. K. H. Borneo, (rector
of Cattistock), Miss Barnes, Mrs. Dishy, the lion.
Harriet Scott, Mrs. Colonel Bingbeni, Mrs. Blackstono
Williams, Mies Williams, C. Heiken F.sq.P Miss
Heiken, Rev. Montague and Mrs. Hankey, Mrs. Arthur
Martin and party, Mrs. Hooke, Mice lt,olte, Miss J.v.,
Mrs. Bennett, Mies Bolton. Mrs. Toppin, the Revs. S.
H. Newnham, F. Salmon, J. Brown, W. Jones, Messrs.
Tudor, kr). The opening overture was executed by Mr.
Loaring's bend in their usual exoellent style. Mr.
Hann sang the two high class Lod difficult bongs, "rho
Monarch of the Wood." and the "White Squall" with
good smite. His voice is evidently of great compass
sod the latter song especially elicited a well merited
tribute of approbation. The glees and trios under the
direction of the organist, Mr. J. Manley. were capitally
rendered. Much credit is dim to the choir muter, and
also to the choir for their assiduous practice which has
enabled them to take a high place amongst the parish
'Moire in the neighbourhood. One of the school seaohers
deserves praise for the admirable meaner in which she
rendered her part in the glees. The audience showed
their appreciation of local talent by loudly ensuring the
favourite glee 'Loreley.' In the evening the room was
well filled by the inhabitants of the pariah and adjoining
village,. Mr. Hann was very successful in his rendering
of the White Squall' and received a loud encore. A
similar honour was awarded to that exquisite :someone
of Rossini'. the ' Lark' which was sung by three
members of the choir. A trio from Illendelssohn was
most ably executed by Messrs. Leering, Smith, and
Chaffin, the softer parts being nicely rendered, on the
piano violin, and lute. 'Bach concert conoluded with
the piano,
Anthem. We think it is only due to the
Rector to state that the public owe these pleasant
annual musical re-unions to his liberality and apprecia-
tion of music.
