Haydn's graceful and ever- welcome oratorio,
" The Creation," was the occasion of an extra per-

Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, and Signor Bel-
letti supported the tenor, soprano, and bass parts.

the singing by Sans Reeves or the recitative and
air, " With verdure clad," Sind the trio finale, Simi;
Reeves, Lernmens-Sherri_egton, and Belletti, "The
Heavens are telling ;" the last a grand specimen of
vocal harmony. "In native worth," Mr. Sinai;

as well as Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, sang the
music allot'Led to tenor and soprano in the third
part, ofter 4

mantle;"
and " Oh, happy pair," thus fell to Strtr:
Reeveswhile the lovely duet, " 0 star the fairest,"
and " Graceful consort," were splendidly executed
by Signor Belletti and Madame Lemmrns-sher"

work," and "Praise ye the Lord," were magn"
ficently voiced, and place the Sacred Harmonic
Society first of all choral bodies. Tb.e hall was full
in every part.
