OF the entertainment given last week in
the Mount Sinai course at Cam bridge
| Mass, by r. w. Bancroft, the ambridge
1ribGne says; 4" The large audience was
greatly pleased and the stiffness was su-
preme on more than one occasion during
the pathetic singing of Mr.. Bancroft The
| thought that one man would attempt to fill
an evenings programm left anticipations
of dullness in the minds Of many, but every
one was highly entertained by the charm
ing aud graceful manner of the singer.
| There is personality about Mr.. Bancroft
that is in sweet concord with his fervid and
enthusiastic rendition of the subject. His
historical sketch is well written and was
very peasingly delivered, and was as
recherche AS his singing. Mr.. Bancroft
possesses an excellent tenor ball ad voice,
and he sings ths heart songs of the Irish boy
or maiden with tenderness that makes his
audience sympathize with him. The enter
tainment was unique and refined, and many
were awakened to the beauties of the Irish
poems and melodies"
