was suitably given, and the thaulogiving with appro•
priate heartiness.

Chorus by the choirs.
The whole of the performers sang in a highly credit-
able manner, and were loudly applauded by die crowded
and discriminating audience. But the singing of Miss
Freer, Mrs. Cuthbert, and Mr. Feltham, calls for special
notice. Miss Freer, in her rendering of the whole of
of the pieces allotted to her, showed a finely cultivated
voice, great taste and good judgment. Mrs. Cuth-
bert's singing was also greatly ad mired,—her rendering
of " 0 rest in the Lord," was most charming. Great
vigour and fine delivery characterised the singing of
Mr. Feltham. Mrs. Feltham rendered good service in
the eoncerted music. The whole of the accompani-
ments were ably played by Mr. T. Avant, junior, of
Weymouth.
The arrangements- for the day, were judiciously
carried out, and good order prevailed amongst the
choristers. A happy day wee spent by all, one which
we trust will be productive of much good:
