St Stephen's Concert.

One of the most; delightful musical evenings ever passed m Ashburton was afforded by the concert given at St Stephen's schoolroom last night, m aid of the Church Fabric Fund. The vocal and instrumental pieces selected were of the highest class of excellence, and the execu tion m almost every instance admirable As was truthfully remarked by Dr Trevor m proposing a vote of thanks at the close, Ashburton is singularly fortunate m possessing an unusually strong array of amateur talent of exceptionally good quality, and last evening there was added to some of the best of this the able assist ance of Dr Scott, of London (cousin of the Rev E. A. Scott), now on a visit to the colony, Miss Mcc (of Timaru), and Mr W. B. Dixon, of Raknia, probably one of the very best tenors m this or indeed any part of New Zealand. The programme opened with the glee " When first I saw your face," very effectively given, the performers being Mrs Den shire, Mrs C. M. Brooke, Mrs Kemp thorne, Messrs Scott. Dixon, and Steven son ; followed by "The letter song," Miss Mcc, m which the lady named scored a decided success. A pianoforte solo by Mrs Mayne, admirably executed, suc ceeded, after which Dr Scott delighted the audience with a capital rendering of "the King's minstrel" (Pinauti), for which he obtained a well-deserved encore. Then came, m our opinion, unquestion ably the gem of the evening m Mrs Denshires delightful rendering of the exquisitely pretty song "At my win dow," with pianoforte accompaniment, admirably played by Mrs Mayne. In response to an enthusiastic encore, the last verse of the song was repeated. Mrs Brookes and Mrs Kempthorne's voices were well balanced m the duet " O wert thou m the cauld blast," which was also a very enjoyable item, and Miss Traumann followed with a pianoforte sole brilliantry played and enthusiastically encored. Then Mr Dixon," who was never m better form, gave to perfection the touching and plaintive ditty " The Sands o' Dee," and m response to an encore, even better if that were possible, another of like quality m " Douglas Gordon." Both were vocal gems which of themselves were worth going a long way to hear. Mr Stevenson closed the first part with the old favourite " Sally m our Alley," and the encore song " Allan Water," m both of which his pleasing voice and clear enunciation were heard to great advantage. The glee " See the Chariot at hand," m which all the vocal performers above named assisted, opened the second part, Dr Scott follow in" with an able interpretation of " The Yeoman's Welding," followed, m response to a recall, by " Come Lasses and Lads." Miss Gertrude Gates then gave very sweetly Cowen's "It was a dream," for which she was encored and gave still better "The lady and the Knight," Schubert's " Serenade," Miss Traumimn. was a splendid performance being indeed the finest piece of instrumentation (piano forte) that we have listened to for many a day. It was of course the subject of a re demand, m acknowledgment of which a very charming morceau, of which we do not know the title, was conceded. Mrs Brooke then sung most charmingly "The Star-of Bethle hem," this item indeed m the opinion of some of the audience being entitled to ths first place among all the items of an ex ceptionally choice programme. It was followed as an encore by " Home sweet Home." Mr Dixon appropriately closed the evening's enjoyment with Tosti's " Good-bye," rendered to perfection with the able accompaniment of Mrs Dixon, and of course encored. A well-deserved vote of thanks having been passed to the performers (as above indicated) on the motion of Dr Trevor, a verse of the National J nthem closed the most delightful concert we remember m Ash burton, and at which we should have liked to see a larger attendance. It should be mentioned that the Rev. E, A. bcott presided, except jusb at the commence ment when, during his unavoidable tem porary absence, Mr John Curtis took his place. _______———
