The opening chorus displayed we'll
balanced band of singers-six So
pranos, six contraitos, SIX tenors and
six bassos-heid well in hand by the
conductor, Mr.. w. ]. Melville, who
had infused an esprit dc corps which,
considering the short time allotted to
rehearsal, was remarkable. Each
subsequent chorus was marked by
unison which well nigh approached
the perfect. There was no hesitancy,
no rough edges at the finales. bat
graceful caderce and intelligent inter
probation OF the spirit of the composer.
One could not help thinking that the
society was equal TO more ambitious
music, even to the lighter oratoFios.
With the excellence OF the material
at disposal, il was somewhat OF i sur
prise that the soloi-ts were confined Ia
concerted work. The trios and quar-
tets did net afford quite enough OPP
portanity for at least nve of the ladies
and the audience would have well
coined more of in diyiduai singing. Ia
the duets. trios and quartets for fe-
male voices only, Mrs Feuier, Mrs.
Baldwin, Mrs. Mcintyre. Mrs Bailey
and Miss Bash delighted their hearers
quite rs much by the intangible vet
universally recog nized quality, known
as soul. as by their ianitless execution.
The sweetest song of the evening was
sister Ewes, by Mrs. MeIntyre and
Miss Bash. 1t may have been that
tue music was particularly fitted To
their voices. an q perhaps the song per
SC had much TO DO with it.; however
that may be. the duet was charming
to an extreme degree and won
generous plaudits. The humorous
music fell To Messrs. James A. Wood,
stuart snyder ana F. e. Jago in the
" Laughing Trio" and "A Little Farm"
and taey did their work very well in
deed. in action rs well as singing. Mr..
Jsgo's rich bass voice sounded to good
advantage. Mrs. Melville had the aruu-
Gus duty of aecompanist and filled il
as only an artist can.
