WYKIL
GRAND CONCIRT.

-
A most successful concert of vocal and instrumental
music took place on Friday evening last, at the National
Schoolroom, Wyk. Regis, in aid of the Building Fend of
the new chapel of St. Paul's, Wyke, now in course of
erec: i in. Thera was a large attendance, the room being
crammed to its utmost limits.
The programa was as follies :

G, Herr Hanson (Miss Hansen, pianoforte): part song,
" Gaily thee' the Greenwood ; " humorous song, "The

One of the principal features was the performance of
Hear Hansen, the talented bandmaster of the 56th Regi-
ment. IL, is • first-rate violinist, and a composer of
ability, and his solos, accompanied by his daughter, Miss
Hansen, were beaatifully played. The solo in the second
part, • romance in 0, composed by himself, was con-
sidered to be particularly good, and was applauded ac-
cordingly. Mies Hansen is also an excellent pianist., and
played her solo, "The Hussar's Ride," with taste and
skill. Miss Lynes was exceedingly rod, too, in Boytnn
Smith's pianoforte solo, "I Poritani. Of the vocal per-
forninnces • selection can hardly be made, for the various
WIWI were so well sung and so much enjoyed. It WU
much to be regretted that Mrs. Hawes, who was down for
two songs, was unable through illness to be present. Miss
Dan..oy was encored in both her songs, "Twickenham
Ferry' and "The Kerry Dance," both the composition of
that eminent song-writer Molly. Miss Dansey
an excellent and welbtrsined voice, which she 11:11:71
to the best advantage in these two perfmmances. i
Oakley was exceedingly god in " Jack's Yarn," a
gna assuring son., and which pleased immensely.
Mrs. Hoarier sang most beautifully in Gledhill's song
" Waiting for the Tide," and Miss D. Cartendals was
equally succersful in that now popular song " Darby and
Joan." by Molloy. Mr. Yates gave • capital rendering of
May brick's (or Stephen Adam's)song "The Midshipmite,"
which was well euit-d to his voice. This song is one of
Kubrick', lair, and possessing some excellent points for
a luiritone, it cannot fail to become a favourite. The
Wises Carpendale were much applauded for the duet "As
it fk.ll upon a Day." Of Mr. Ilogger's comicalities it is
unnecessary to say much, being too well known as a
comic singer. He was as suceessful as ever, and provoked
much laughter in bath his songs. Captain Kelsey played
his cornet polo from Flotow's opera "Martha" in excellent
style, and proved himself to be a thorough master of his
instrument. Taken throu;hout the concert was a coin-
plet.• success and will doubtless largely augment the fund
to which the proceeds are to be devoted.
