The concert was over at 'll o'clock, and 'about Vv.).
thirds of the Company remained for some hours longer,
a ball taking place after the concert on this evening. The
grand fiill.dress ball, Iv-mover, Conies, off to-raorraw
night, and winds up the festival.
The cathedral was well filled again this morning.
The programme was a lengthy ones and had not been
got, through when the last available train left Hereford
for London. It consisted of Mendelssohn's 'i Hymn Of
Praise ;" Spohr's sacred cantata, " The Christian's
Prayer ;" and Mozart's ¶' Twelfth Service." At the emu.
ineeeenient of the second part also was played an over-
ture (St. Polycarp) not generally known in the musical
werid. It is written by the Rev. Sir F. A. Gore Ouselev,
Bart.,. precentor of Hereford Cathedral, and successor to
Sir H. bishop at Oxford. Before Mozart's Service we had
Martin Luther's Hymn most devotionallysung by Clara
Novello. The introduction of the trumpet by Harper, at
the words, "The trumpet sounds," prodnced a thrilling
altogether tide hymn produced the deepest sen-
sation. Sims Ite.eves also sang (between the oratorio,/
the air, " Sound an alarm," from Judas Al accabce,!:;.
The principal y6cal parts were sustained this morning by
Novelle, Mrs. \Vei,.s, and Mr. Sims-Reeves.
The lovely duet, "I waited for the Lord," sung.. by
Clara 'Novell° and Mr. Nyeiss, was repeated by desire.
Sims Reeves delivered the dramatic passage, • " Watch-
man, will the night soon pass r with • admirable judg-
' ment. The fine chorale, " Let all men praise the Lord,"
produced 'a deep impression ; and at the• succeeding
chorus, "Glory ,and praise to God," the bishop rose,
and remained standing until its close—an example which,
ofseaurse, was followed by. thereat of the company; The
same respect was shown to the concluding, part of the
last • chorus, at the words Hallelujah ! Sing to the
Isord." Mozart's Twelfths, Service Concluded the con -
.cert the audience standing during the "Sanctus." The
collection at the deOrs amounted to 2151. 15s. 11d.•

:.shell ; Weiss), the "Bridesmaid's chorus" (solo
Mrs. Weiss), and the " Huntsman's chorus." The exe-
. cutien of ;these pieces was very creditable. Madame
Grisi then sang exquisitely " Qui la voce" ( IPuritarni),
ani( an encore demanded. Miss Dolby was also obliged
to ;teat Mendelssohn's ' First Ytolet, with an orches-
