sacred music performed on the organ by
Mr.. Leo Wheat, whose talents as very
accomplished pianist, OTganist, and compo-
ser is well known in this country. The
mOrcealn selected were rendered with all of
the taste peculiar to this artists style.

CATION as an audience. We congratulate
the vestry of Trinity in having so great an
acquisition and 90 excellent a musician at
the head Of their choir.
