Higgins, a lady (blonde) Of most pre-
possessing appearance and possessing
a voice OF great sweetness and much

The first on the second part OF the
programme was Boldieu's overture to
the "Caliph Of Bagdad." by the full
orchestra and organ. This showed the
want of n more thorough rehearsal. It
seems strange that our musicians,
