The first part, as will he seen eoriaisDid of served
mihjectx. A verse of the National Anthem having been
piing in unison, the chonte "The Heavens are Telling"
was sung The hination of voices and inetruments in
the chorus parts was very efective, but there wee a slight
weakness in the verse parts. and one or two of the voice*
were unmistak Oily flat. Miss Avant sang "Angels ever
liright and fair" very eweetiv and was npplivided. The
ehonis "110 w iiively are the Messengers" went smoothly
and well, and then a real treat was afforded by the
esquisite singing of "find shall wipe away all teary" by
Mrs. Reader. We never heard her healitifill voice eo
greater advantage the talented singer was a great
favourite with Bridport audiences before, and on Tuesday
she we" vociferously encored, and repeated the last Pert of
the solo. Mr. W. Newberry sang" Narareth in a spirited
manner, and theis followed the well.known "See the
Conquering Item" the chorus part* Of which were very
grand. The hand then gave one of Ilandel's marches, and
the first
t!art was concluded by the chorus "Sing
unto God. The secoopl part consisted of secular
pieces, and the opening overture waa capitally
plsyed. Miss Batt sang "Come, oh sleep very
nicely ; she was accompanied by the piano and
cornet obligate, by Mr. Verner. The part song, "Good
Night," pleased us as well an anything we heard during
ties evening, and the song "Ad Chlnen " was given with
taste by Mr. Newberry. After another instrumental
seln-tion Mi. Avant sang "Beauty Sleep," hut it was
hardly minted to her voice. an.l she was • tnfie fiat at the
eml of it. Men.lelssohn's " May Song went capitally,
and then Mr. T. Matthews sang "Jack and I." Ile was
not Ins,. gan.l a voice as usital, and it eras evident he did
not sing with his tisnal ease. Nevertheless he was encored,
and repeated the last verse. Mr. W. Stone's violin solo,
" Tarantella," was masterly production. and the applause
at the end was very great, he repeated part ni the chain.
" We'll gaily sing and play was the last item on the

cannot conclude our notice without a word id 11116iw a. to
the way in which Mr. I'. Warren (piano)acquitted himself
as accompanist. This was his his first anpearannr : he
is an amateur of great promise, and will he a valitahle
