nected' with the production has been forgotten. We have no space to critically discuss the numbers, although th a tabk would be a pleasing one. Of the choruses, it may be said that they all went with a steadiness and fiee flowing tunefulness that was an agreeable surprise. There was a just per ceptible hesitancy in one or two to begin with, but by the time the singers had got fairly into the marrow of their work this disappeared altogether, and the points were taken with careful accuracy, and proper attention to the baton. There were fifteen solos allotted out of thirty eight numbers presented of the fifty seven comprising the oratorio, and we take the liberty of saying that half a dozen solos would have been plenty in any case, all the more so as it Happened that three of the lady soloists were suffer ing from influenza,' and would doubtless have been only too glad to have been re lieved of the numbers assigned to them. It was eleven o'clock almost before the concert closed, and all the solos in the second,pan could very well have been excised, except perhaps Mrs C. M. Brookes "I know that my Redeemer liveth,' 1 a number that only the wise rule of the Committee against encores pre vented from being repeated - it was voci ferously redemanded. Mr Kersel had two tenor solos assigned to him; Mr Williams one, and Mr Booth two baas solos; Mrs Williams, Mrs Dee, and Miss Turner, each soprano, solos; while the grand alto song "He was despised " was given exquisitely, in spite of la grippe, i by Mrs Flower. The other soloist was Miss Hardy, who kindly took the place at short notice of Mrs Mayne, who is suffering severely from the prevailing epidemic. Miss Hardy's "Oh thou that tellest," was pleasingly sung, and her "He shall feed his flock," whish pre ceded Mrs Williams' " Come unte me," made an exceedingly pleasing part of a divided number. The oonductor, Mr Booth, has to be congratulated en his work. He assumed a position that was going begging, rather than see the Society fall through at a critical moment, and he threw all the energy that was in him into his work, and achieved the success he deserved. It would be flattering to say his conducting was perfect, but the words of Pope may fittingly apply to Mr Booth, " not free from faults, yet not too vain to mend." Applause was frequent during the performance, and although the house was not full, the audience was thoroughly appreciative. The stage was very nicely arranged, and the ladies, all in white with sashes of blue and red to distinguish soprano and alto, made a very effective picture. Taking the performance in the concrete, it must be said to have been highly I successful. j
