The opening part song,
Through the
Cloud'," a beautiful compsition, was well rendered by
'1 -i-inehine
the choir, and was heartily applauded. Mies Lockett
heamusing song, "Why are you Wandering here I
Pray," very tastefully. Truhu'e humorous quartett,
"The Three Chafers," canoed much amusement, the
bass sole being well and carefully sung by Mr. W. R.
Bawler. The piece received • vociferous encore, and
C portion had to be repeated. The Rev. T. Heave
next read a selection from Campbell's "Dream of
Hope," and we need hardly say the rev, gentleman gave
the beautiful linesof the propheoy-poemln•spinted and
effective manner. One of the best performances of the
evening was Miss Dixon's rendering of the exquisite
song, "The Better Land," her fine eontralto voice
being well displayed in Cowen's beautiful music. The
;misters" warmly moored. Bishop's glee, "Wind.
Cohi," was sung with precision and taste by
the choir. Mr. W. R. Bawler sung "The Lifeboat
Crew" in a bold and manly style, and in response to a
well deserved encore gave the patriotic song "Tb.
Streak of Silver Sea." Mr. Bawler possesses • bass
von" of more than ordinary power and compass, and
one which is well worth cultivating. The duet,
"Gavotte," for *no and violoncello was admirably
rendered by Mir Last and Mr. J. Green, and warmly
encored. The madrigal " Canst Thou Say Me Nay? "
was well sung, as wan also Boyton Smith's part-song,
" Trish, Trab," commencing the second part. Mier
Dixon sung Arthur Sullivan's " Let Me Dream Main"
with taste and feeling, and received app/anse amount-
ing almost to an encore. The performance of the famous
" Rhapeodie Hongroke," was excellent, and proved
Mies H. B. Last to be • piaalste of much ability and talent.
In response to an undeniable moors, Miss Last gave
with equally good execution the "Pain di Bravura,"
which Was also much applauded. Mr. W. IL
Bawler's rendering of the well-known .on(," The
Friar of Orders Gray" was good. The next piece
was a reading by Mr. Jameson. The pion he had
selected was Mrs. Candles famous Umbrella"
lecture, in which the extdwordines7 volubility of the
lady in question provoked mach laughter. 111 renews
to the encore, Mr. Jameson read • poem in the Dorset
dialect, "Bloom's Visit to London, which which was highly
amusing. Mies Lockett wee encored for "Silver
Chimes." Miss Dixon and Mr. Watkins sang
extremely well the duet "Oh. that we Two were May-
ing." The trio "A Little Farm well Tilled," (from
Hook's comic opera "The Soldier's Return" caused •
perfect louvre, and had to be repeated. Baraby's part
song "Sweet and Low" concluded the programme,
and "God Save the Queen" brought • most suoriessful
entertainment to a close. Miss Last and Mr. A. G.
Bawler were the acoompanista.
