across an entertainment with each a bubbling and
champagney influence. Mr. W. S. Gilbert's verses
seem to eparkle and dance. They rhyme and re-
rhyme. They go bounding and lilting along in
perfect rhythm and graceful modulation, full of
melody, full of meaning, full of fun. Their influence
has not been lost on Mr. Arthur Sullivan, who seems
to make his music jump and leap to the merriment
of the verse." Box, plan, tickets, and every inforinii-

with the Temperance Society a highly-stoossful
concert of vocal and instrumental music was given in
the Gloucesterstreet Schoolroom. There was • large
attendance, and the Rev. E. Bolton presided. The
programme was a most varied one; but one and all
acquitted themselves well, the choir in the choruses
showing excellent training. The instntmental pieces
were exceedingly good, particularly the pianoforte
solo, "Overture to Agile," by Mr. G. Bartlett. Mr.
Bartlett is a blind musician; but he played this
difficult piece with • skill and expression that would
have been • audit to many pianoforte players poem-
ing the blessing of sight. Mr. Bartlett is organist at
Hope Chapel, and in introducing him the Chairman
expressed piasters that the members of the two bodies
could work so harmoniously together. The clarionet
and pianoforte duets by Mr. Rogers and Corporal
Stevens were also very nicely played, and we may also
mention the violin and pianoforte duet "March in
Norma" (varied), by Messrs. Phillips and Rogers. Of
the vocal soloists, Miss Freeman was the favourite.
"0, ye tears," was so prettily sung as to reoeive a hearty
encore. The following is the programme :
Chorus, "The Battle Cry," choir; duet, (clarionet
and pianoforte), "Sunbeam Schottische," 31r. Rogers
and Corporal Stevens; song and chorus, "Silver
Moonlight's winds are blowing," Miss Freeman and
