MILTON 11A L.-11R.
LASCELLES'S
CONCERT.

Last night Mr. Rowland Lascelles gave a concert
at the Milton Hall, Kentish-town, which was one
of more than ordinary excellence. The programme
embraced the names of a number of public
favourites, and that, which is a rarity now-
a-days, it was given entire and in the order
named. Miss Russell and Miss Sherrington,
in the first part, sang with more than usual ability,
the former the pretty ballad "Happy be thy dreams,"
and the latter Minasi's popular song " Call him
back and kiss him." Mr. Farrant gave Mr. Braham's
celebrated song "The anchor's weighed" with un-
exceptional taste, and the Orpheus Glee Party sang
" Evening twilight" with very great effect. The
second part opened with a very well-played cornet
solo bylkir Clement, and then Mr. Lascelles, who was
warmly received, sang Archer's song, " Alice,
where art thou ?" with so much taste and expres-
sion as to call forth a rapturous encore. Miss
Fitzhenry, of course, sang " Launch the Lifeboat"
with her usual spirit, and elicited great applause ;
but her " Good-bye at the door" was so marred by
alterations of the score that the least said about it
the better. The piano solo, without which no con•
cert is now complete, was played by Miss Coleman,
who appropriately selected Benedict's brilliant but
difficult composition " Erin," and it was extremely
satisfactory to see with what care, taste, and pre-
cision the pupil rendered the work of her eminent
instructor. Her playing elicited an enthusiastic en-
core, an honour it was quite entitled to. Mr. Green,
the popular basso, delighted the audience with his
celebrated ditty, " I will stand by my friend ;" and
the ever-green duet, " All's Well," by Mr. Lascelles
and Mr. Green, terminated an evening's entertain-
ment, that was enjoyed to the utmost by a very
full and delighted audience.
