with rounds of applause. He gave the song, "The
men of merry England," and was of course, ensured.
This gentleman's voice is wonderful; in his forte parts
he could fill the room, and his tender passages were re-
duced to such a pianissimo as to be scarcely heard.
His compass is also extraordinary, for he appears
to make as light of double F, as he does of
upper G. Mrs. Pie and Miss Eva Good next played
with great precision and energy a duet on the piano.
The first part of the concert was brought to a close by
the Church Choir singing Bishop's glee, " Coder the
greenwood tree," which they did very creditably.
Advantage was taken by many of the interval which
followed, to escape from the crowded room, which had
become exceedingly hot. It is s pity some better mesas
cannot be devised of ventilating the school-rosin than
the primitive modes which exist. The second part opened
with selections from Haydn's Symphony, No. 2, which
were very effectively rendered. Mendelasohn's duet
for soprano voices, " Why listen to the carols," Was
next performed by the ladies. It is not a piece of any
great merit, but it was well done, and out of oomph.
[tient to the ladies was encored. The Rev. C. Waldy
again chewed the audience what music might be
obtained from the concertina, by playing a fantasia on
Robert le Diable; and then followed the best piece of
the whole performance, a solo and chorus from
Bennett's "May Queen." There is an extraordinary
freshness about it, and it was so exceedingly well
executed that great enthusiasm prevailed about it, and
its second performance was loudly demanded. Mrs.
Whitehead, who sang the solo part, deserves every
prairie for the clearness of her enunciation. Her voice
was beautifully soft, yet at the same time crisp and
telling. Following came the" Bay of Biscay," sung by
C. W. Wyndham, Esq. In this song he brought down
rounds of applause, the audience apparently not being
able to wait until its close. The irresistibly comic manner
in which he acted the sailor's clinging to the slippery
shrouds, and the still more comic way in which
he hitched up his trousers as sailors are wont to do,
produced the most boisterous laughter; and at last such
was the enthusiasm that the audience fairly joined in
the chorus with the singer. Willett L. Adye, Esq.,
then delighted all present by the masterly manner in
which he performed his part of Spohr 's Concerto in
B minor (No. 4.) The piano part was played most
effectively by Mr. Whitehead Smith. The last piece
RosainPs chorus, " The Carcovsle" which was
exceedingly well rendered. The whole was wound up
with God Save the Queen. One cannot help remarking
in connection with these conoerts, the great change
which has apparently come over Wimborne in musical
matters. But a very few years ago it would have
seemed impossible to get up such a series Now, how-
ever, it is not only possible to do so but large and
discriminating audiences are always ready to listen. Let
us hope we shall have many more such. It would be
wrong if we were to neglect stating that the whole
labour of getting up these apnoeas has devolved upon
Mr. Whitehead Smith. He has worked indefatigably,
but he had a good reward on Friday evening in the
marked success of the last of the series. List of
