News° CONCILIT.—MuIer the auspices of the
Dorchester Lecture Society a very enjoyable concert
was given at the Town Hall on Thursday evening hot,
and, notwithstanding the rxtreme inclemency of the
weather,the attendance was cc. good. The pert et s
were 'Miss Louisa Bullock (soprano), and the folios:0g
members of the Winchester Cathedral choir - Mr. A.
Gardiner (alto), Mr. Doody (tenor), Mr. Pimlott
(bass), and Mr. Cross (bass) Mr. J. Robinson, jun.
accompanied, The concert commenced with the
quistatt, " When Winds Breathe Soft." which WA
fairly rendered. The tenor and 'base &Lett, " Flow
Gently, Diva" was than sang by MOMS. Doody awi
Crow and was followed by tbe wog "Only for nom."
by Miss Bullock, the latter receiving • fair share of
The quartette for male voices. "Stars of
tate=mer Night," was next ably rendered. Mr.
Pinkie:4 then gave in good style the song, "Rage,
Thou Angry &ono," and Mr. Doody next sang
Blumenthal mug, "My Queen." Mr. Doody has a
well-trahted tenor voice of good quality and compass,
and did this pretty @nog full justice. The trio, "I
Navigante," by Mies Bullock and Messrs. Doody and
Pholott was encored. and Mr. Gardiner was apple uderl
for his rendering of the ballnd,"ilie Old Church Bells."
Mr. Ones' fiD• bass voice told to great advantage
In "Thu Diver," and he was encored. The quartette
for male VOLUM "Discord, dire Sister," and the
quintets, "Blow Nestle Gallo," were both extremely
well sung and deservedly applauded. One of the best
soap of the concert was Dsoy's "Bay of Biscay,"
which was excellently snug by Mr. Doody, and, in
response to an undeniable encore, he gave Dihdin'e
favourite, " Tom Bowling." The male voices then
sang the beautiful part song, "by Celia's Arbour,"
after which Mies Bullock gave, Inc careful and artistic
manner, "When the Quiet Moon." Perhaps the best
feature of this young lady's voice is her distinct
enunciation. The other pieces were :—Quartette.
"Soldier's hoes;" song, " The Blacksmith's Son"
(encored), Mr. Crel: cheat, " Nay, bid me not resign"
(Lard Darien), Meg Bullock and Mr. IPlmlott ; and the
msartMte, "Sleep while the soft Evening Ildresses."
Yr. Cross' song was finely sung, and he well di served
the encore. The concert concluded by the singing of
the "National Anthem." These concerts are an
agreeable feature of the Lecture Society'. progremme,
end, had the weather been favourable, we are sure
them would have been • srowded honk%
