• Gad
'''' I.la‘rd in • singer so well known that, when
we nay her rendering of " Ehren on the !thine" was
with taste, our readers can imagine the effect better
than we can describe it. "Ti.. Tar's Farewell," by
Mr. Way. was snug with great exprevieion. and the
dig following. by Mr. Bartlett, "Nazareth,' was all
that could hr desired, the light and *bade being well
o .ipidered. "Fit for Tat,' by Miss Gillard, wee
moot enthusiastically received, and merited an
encore, which Wee rethrinded to by repeating part.
Mr. G. F. Score (of the Mineter) came next, and gave
"The King'. Champion," in fine style, lies bass • doe
having good effec,, and his song "Tree till Death,"
well merited, and received, a re-call. Mr. Bartlett, in
his song "The Lugger" was well received, an encore
being the result. Mr. and him Dibben rendered the
vocal duet, " Puleskee Bthu,r," capitally, and Adis.
Dibben'. song., "Ti.. Children's Hour" and the
" The Child's Letter to Heaven," were moat tastefully
rendered, the former receiving an encore, and the
latter proved that Mrs. Diobers will be an ever-
welcome contributor of melody a this platform. We
must not omit to state that the choir quite came up to
our expectations, and are to be congratulated on their
service.. Mr. C. Way performed creditably a piano-
forte solo, and accompanied himself in his song. Mrs.
Orford and Misr B. Rose accompanied the other Bungs.
Toe piano (engaged) was from Mr. H. U. Morgan'.
Musical Instrument Dep6t, the Welt Borough and
Square. There was a good Attendance, the hall being
comfortably filled, and from the frequent plaudits
manifeeted.we should say,s very appreciative audience.
We haw another similar treat is in store. The pro-
ceeds will be devoted to tempera/toe work.
