It argues an extraordinary amount of spirit on the
part of our eminent pianist, Mr. T. Avant, that he
engaged the pony of artistes who are nnw one tour in
the IV. at of England, and that fore &throat' tight in
the dead season, as they had no other disengaged- Only
the certsiety tfist Mr. Avant's catering.. a entrants*
for a rare treat could have drawn to the Royal Hotel.
on iuch a bitter oi2ht a. Petard iy laxt, the Mies and
gentlemen that u.mbled ; bat even their presence, we
fear, was sesrcely sufficient to meet Mr. Avant's large
ontlav' and it in to be hoped. that the gsntry of Wey•
mouth will remember what a treat he provided them at
a time when such enjoymtnto are scsre.
The first part commenced with Smart's trio. "The
Carnival," by Meddle. Drasill. Mr kinntem Smith. and
Ran Carl Stepan, aeorimpanied by Mr. C. S. Heap,
which was brilliantly sung; but the piannforta part
was rather too loud. and Mr. Heap will do wit
to moderate bis desire for display. nen Stepan
billowed with "The Redlsringer," in which bis deep
voice was displayed with • ffeet ; the amompaniment
was not so overpowering as before, the piece went in
good time, rind wys received with applause. If oldie.
Preadil, the famous contralto from the Nevelt'',
Fdstival, rryital Palace, and Philharmonic Concerts,
then sppeared, and sang Hay's "The summer bloom
bath paused away." lice exrinisite voice delighted
every iinc, the higher notes were as eleir sea bird's,
and the lower oneo like those of some delicious organ
stop ; she wax received with imnien. applause. Mr.
Mentem Smith gave Motart's "The Violet," in which
he produced a very stewing eensatien, and wax much
applauded. Mr. T. Avant displayed his talents by per•
forming on the grand pianoforte the " linmance
Favourite, from Aeclier's Alms." which he managed
with very great enesees, the rapid peewees being etc.

Molsme liuderndorff was annonnc I to ming "Oh ! that
thou has hearkened." from Arthur Sullivan's new
oratorio of "The Prodigal S in," but she enbititnted for
it " Heneath the Wee transpirent sky.' The audience
were ghti ogroin to 0.1. WHIP. DroaAil, who ined Mr.
Mentem Smith in Pinsuti's rinett " Venesio," in which
the two ningrra delighted the audience, their weir.%
were nicely lislancel, and of course they were received
with apple... Herr Stepan followed with a ballad of
lortging. "Oh ! happy lemembrenee," which was sling
with considerable en-cry. The next delicious morreite
wa lisrnbybi song "The wrecked Hope." by Md ile
whose every note told. The masia wee fall of
pathos. and was song with excellent etprmainn, and
when it rove to the animated, the irrigating put into it
all an artist'n fire, giving a very taking tremolo near the
concluder.. Matte was recilled and gracefully
acknowledeed the compliment. Next came a trio
" Insviganie." by klademe Ruilersdorff, Mr. Montem
Smith, and Herr Stepan. Madame Ins evidently on

and was much applauded. Next *lame Mr.

CONCZET.—A very enticessful concert was given
by Mr. R. G. Gilman and his friends on Thursday,
February 3, in aid of the funds of the Corte Castle
Reading Room and Mutual Improvement Institu-
tion. A pleasing addition to the programme Wls
made by Mr. F. Honeywell. and Mr. R. Roes kindly
coming forward at the last moment with several
extras The first part commenced with the Surbiton
galop composed and arranged for tne occasion by Mr,
F. Hnneywell for piano and cornet. "Caller
Herrin," piano and harp duet, by the Mims Honey.
well, followed, and was a novelty which gave much
pleasure. The song " let me like • soldier fall"
was next given in a most efficient manner by Mr.
R. G. Gilman. A vocal duet by the Misses Honey-
well, "The Flower Gatherers," received • very
liattering encore. Mr. James ffibbs's "Maggie
May" was eptally succeieful, being a very perfect
rendering of this pretty song. A piano solo by
Miss E. Honeywell, "Th. Mountain Stream," was
brilliantly performed. Mr. R. G. Gilman received
a hearty encore for his spirited singing of "The
Man et the Wheel." Miss Kate Honeywell's song,
" Coming through the rye." received a rapturous
encore. Mr. R. Roes then gave the song" Stonewall
Jackson" in • masterly manner, proviag himself a
good vocalist, as well as an efficient lostrumentaliat.
lifitis E. Honeywell, in the song " Auld Robin
Gray." displayed great taste end feeling, and she
was listened to with breathless attention. The first
part of the programme was brought to • close by
Mr. R. G. Gilman singing "The Death of Nelson"
with his usual ability. A very pleasing mazurka
arranged for the piano, harp, violin, and cornet, by
the Mimesis Honeywell (piano and harp). Mr. Item
(cornet), and Mr Honeywell (violin), introduced
the second part, and was heartily applauded. Mr.
R. G. Gilman was very successful in singing
" Alonzo the brave," and as the clock struck one
the startling effect pro limed upon the audience was
telling, while the serio-comic ghostly termination
excited the greatest merriment. Mr. F. Honeywell
introduned the celebrated song "The Wreck of the
Hesperus," and produced a great impression. Mr.
J. Hibbs followed with the song " lichinson
Crewe," creating a great amount of amusement, and
provoking an enoore, which, however, from the
length of the programme, could not be accepted.
Miss Kate Honeywell, in her harp accompaniment
and song "The Captive Greek Girl," was very
suceeseful in displaying the superiority of that
instrument for blending with the human voice. Mr.
F. Honeywell next gave "I'm not myself at all,"
and amused the audience extremely. A brilliant
piano toll, by Mies E. Houiliwell was greatly
aoplauded ; and "The Red Cross Banner," sung by
Mr. R. G I ;drain. was equally successful. " Rule
Britannia" and " id Save the Queen" in solo and
chorus brought • very successful concert to a close.
Immediately after the conoert the crowded audience
rose on maxim, and gave three hearty cheers for Mr.
R. G. Gilman and the promoters of the concert.
The Rev, W. Penney, as soon as the cheering had
subsided tendered thanks on behalf of the com-
mittee to Mr Gilman and his friends for thi able
manner in which the evening'a entertainment had
been conducted.--[This report should have reached
