11Cmranungarr AT mg Hors CHAPEL On
Wednesday evening last there to k place one of the
best performances that has ever taken place at Hope
Chapel, the subj:ct being " Quen Esther" a sacred
cantata. Tbe choir wee in full trim, under the able
leadership of Mr. U. Crocker, who hu already won
laurels, both as a musician and • conductor, and we
must thoroughly and heartily congratulate him on the
programme he presented to the audience within the
precincts of Hope Chapel. in old Weymoath. The
choir was, as usrud, up to the mart. On this occasion,
however, it seemed to noel Itself in its
productions,
re and, we very much doubt whether
is a better in Weymouth, taking all in all.
Esther, the Queen, was very ably sustained by Mks
Wright, and the King by Mr. A. Poem, Mime S.
Carter made a beautiful Zsresh, and Haman was
well pourtrayed in the finished singing of Mr. C.
' Bannton. Queen's maid of honour had a goo I repro-
imitation in Miss A. Fox, while the prophetess had
in Miss May Freeman a true impersonation, her well.
cultivated voice bringing for ito reward rounds and
well-earned applause. Mordecai was well sustained
by Mr. H. Crocker, and Harbmah by Mr. J. Hovey.
Mr. 0. Crocker ably conducted, and Mr. G. Bartlett,
the blind organist, presided at the organ, sad, taken
altogether, Mr. C. Crocker has much to be proud of,
Inasmuch as he can present to Weymouth. in the
coming season, one of the best choirs to be found in
any places of worship.
