SOCIAL GOSSIP.

Prof. J. Morton Boyce has given sev- ersl concerts since coming to Birming- ham, but probably nont of them gave greater satisfaction than did his organ recital al the Church of the Advent last night. That spacious edlfice was crowd ed with an appreciative audience, who knew they would hear something grand by going there, and they were not disap- pointed. The ventilation at the church is very poor and for that reason 1t was ex- cessively warm, but notwithstanding that fact only few people left before the con- cert was over. Professor Boyce has add ed a great deal to the music circles Of l3ir- mingham and his recitals and concerts will always be looked forward to with the liveliest anticipations.
