CHORAL MTV/AL AT WHITHURCH
CANONICORUM

A pleasing gathering took place at Whitchurch on
Thursday afternoon, on which occasion the Salisbury
Diocesan Choral Association held a festival for choirs
in the district. All it was a lovely afternoon, • large
number of lovers of church music found their way to the
spot; the church is delightfully situated in • valley, and
• very fine church it is for a parish; and not only is it a
nice church, hut there is, fine peal of bells in the tower;
and, thanks to the exertions o( the Rev. P. E. Allen,,
geed organ in the interior, which cannot he surpassed for
power and tone in many of our towns. The service was
announced for three o'clock, previous to which the choirs
had assembled for a rehearsal : the Union Jack floated
from the tower, and the hells rang outs merry peal, as the
hour drew near, and the surpliced choirs proceeded to the
rectory, where • procession was formed, which entered
the church by the west entrance singing the hymn com-
mencing :
