THE nOnettle OennnY.
The first part opened with Boykin Smith'epretty
nut-wing "When all the world wan young." The
harp and piano durtt, "Se Mi Cr./1i" (Steil), by Mrs.
A. Groves and Mr. T. M. Morgan was cleverly
executed. Mrs. Groves pommies no mean ability 64
a harp player, and on the present occasion was heard
to great advantage. Mr. Morgan in too well known to
Dorchester endienoes to need much aornmenr, it will,
therefore, entice to say thtt hi played carefully
and most efficiently in this piece. M.. Hayden
sang 0. Harris pretty song, "My little Sweetheart,"
with great taste and expression. an') on this his first
appearance in Darches er. gained hearty applause.
His voice is of rather • robust quality, of extensire
compass, his soft notes being particularly pure
and sweet. Mot Stewart than played the Grand
March from Tannbaoser ( Weener), which displayed
the fine tones of the F,rard t its utmost
extlnt. This moot effective but difficult march was
played with much brilliancy, and at the close was
received with an undeniable escort. Mr. Morgan
then announced that Mry. Stewart would play Mot wt's
S mate, No. 9, later on. Mrs. Shaw wan heard to great
seventeen' in a rondo from Principe Pecorsio "
Yamold), and was much applauded Mrs. Stewart
then played the promised sonata, which was beanti-
folly played throughout, an 1 at the clone of this
lengthy composition the lady was none the less warmly
applauded than in her previous piece. Mr. Stone then
kindly gave • violist solo. entitled " Fantanis
Pastorals." Mr. Stone is a thoroughly ,orl
and thin performance was exceptionally 'rood, being
played in • painstaking and unostentatious manner—
• rare virtue in violinists. He was heartily applauded
at the close of the piece. Mrs. Shaw, Mr. Hayden,
and Mr. Morgan then sane Sterminie Bennett's trio,
"The Hawthorn in the Glade." The three voices
blended beautifully, and the plea i was sung with
exquisite tart, awl expretaion. One of the princinal
features of the concert was then performed, viz.,
Haydn's "Toy Symphony." Thin rather humorous
composition we. played by Mr. Stone (first violin),
If, Durrien (pianoforte). Mr. Morgan (cuelteo), Mr.
Alfred H. Blake and Master A. H. Evans (second
violins). Rev. W. at. Barnes (violoncello). Mr. J.
Bitten (fluted Bedew' these were trumpet, quail,
nightingale, strum, triangle, and rattle. This symphony
was written by Haydn, who proems...l a keen sense of
humour, for the amusement of children, of whom he
was passionately fond, but we presume they would

he kept to the fiftieth part of a second, and
the music is so eatracoely "catchy," that to pre-
serve the time Is • difficult task. However, the pieC4
went smoothly enough, and afforded much amusement.
This concluded the first part. A soy pretty set of
vocal waltzes by J. Farmer was then sung by the
Anis entitled '-Take Care," which is one of the most
tusslei settings to Tennyson'n well-known lines that
it has Wm our lot to hear. A very nice little Neapoli
bin •••g, wish guitar accompaniment, entitled
" Tiritomba,• by Mrs. Shaw and Miss R. Blackstone
Williams, was eneored, which the ladies kindly
acknowledged. Mr. Hardee aegt gave Dare's fine
old sea song—" The Bay of Birear," in grand style,
and received • hewer encore. In response be sane the
very pretty" La Donna 4 Mobile," from Verdi's mem
Ripoleito. Mrs. Stewart then gave a comie solo on
the pianoforte, entitled "Dana, Negro" Weskit

It was intensely fanny, and very highly
the audience. A quartette for male voices, or rather
a tenor solo (if it may be so termed) with vocal
accompaniment, entithd " Soldier's Love," was very
effectively rung by Messrs. Hayden, Darden, &mutt,
and Stickland. The following were the other items of
the afternoon's programm_ e :—Song, " Phalle is My

duet by Mr. Hayden and Mr. Morgan was particularly
well sung. It is an extremely beasstiful Piece, and was

not disguised. On Friday morning John Dunne, an
extensive grazier, residing at Ballyholly, Co. Wicklow,

placed there during the night, and attached to it was
a threatening letter, signed "Molly Maguire," warn-
ing him that except he reformed quickly, and joined
the Land League, he would be shot." Mr. Dunne had
lately taken 'some land from which • tenant had been

ford, on being called upon for their rent offered the

still at large. The tragic event has caused • profound
sensation throughout the district. There has been no
disturbance in the neighbourhood of Captain Boycott's
farm at Lough Mask. The rain there is described as
