THE TOY CONCERTS.

The Toy concert company were moat nnfortunate last night in regard to weather. After a very web afternoon, the evening cune on stormy with heavy rain, and most concoct goers would have propheaied that the compaay would give no entertainment tha night because there would be nobody to entertain* In this, however, they would have been false prophets, as, thanks to the position that Mr Ernest Toy haa achieved in the musical world, and his fame as a violinist that haa reached every corner of the empire, there was quste a good attendance of musical people in the halt—an attendance that few expected to see. It is usual in Ihe ease of entertainments given uutler similar Gircunißtanoeß to find only the back seats patronised, but on thia occasion these were but sparsely occupied, the iiout and tsecoml ■eats holding the patrons of the concert. Aa of course first plaoe must be given to the ladieF, the vocalists and pianiste of the company demand prior attention. Mies Alice Simmonds, the soprano, is, we fancy, no stranger to Ashburton boards. She haa v rich, flexible, and telling voioe, remarkably sweet in the middle register, and with a good upper range. It has been carefully trained, and belonging to an artist, her ballads are ■ung charmingly and with effect. It was •ho who opened the programing with " The Carnival," and at once made friends with the audience. In the second part she give " Queen of the Night," and took part with Miv Maud JDalrympie in the dues, "O'er hill and dale," a most delightfully rendered number. Mies Maud Dalrytnple is a power ful contralto, rich a&d round in her middle register, and her lower notes have a reson ance and f alines* that make them delightful to listen to, and withal there is a total abßenoe of asperity in them, a remark that cannot be made of all the deeper contralto vocalists who have graced the Ashburton stage. She sang Behrend't " Gift" touohingly, giving the-mother's interview with the Ghrifb-child with pathoa and true revereaoe. Molloy'a "The Long Avenue" was also sung by her with much feeling and effect, and she opened the second part with Sftin ton-Dolby'a exquisite ballad " Out on the rooks " —all three items being heartily encored. Miss Renea Lees' piano playitig is a revelation in itself* and for one so young is more than marvellous. With the most delicate touch imaginable, and a mastery of technique that is extraordinary to witness, added to a grace of poae and manner, Miss Renee Los is quite a prodigy, and her interpretation of morceaux from Chopin and Liizt was a lemon in itself to young pianists, »nd her " Valae Caprice" by Raff was quite ft poem to the ears of all. Mr Ernest Toy f olfiifed all the promises that have been given for him. Not since Bemenyi played in the old Oddfellows' Hall many years ago, and previous to him Wilhelmj in the old Town Hall, has it been the happy lot of an Ashburton audience to listen to the violin more skill fully played than was Mr Toy's instrument on Thursday night. It may be here added, also, that Mr Toy was a pupil of the renowned Wilht'mj, and those who have heard hi 3 wonderful tone and witnessed hia extraordinary execution can readily believe that his mentor was a master, and that the master's mantle has fallen on the pupil. It is unnecessary, having said ibis much, to descend to details of the pieces he played. Suffice it to say that they were only such aa a master could essay, but notwithstanding their difficulty he interpreted them with an ease and a certainty that only a genius could exhibit. Not once in a generation do we witness such extraordinary facility in the production of harmonica as he displayed, or so perfect and delightful harmony as he was able to charm his hearers with by hia re markably exquisite double and triple stop ping ; and though difficulty was perhaps the specialty of most of the pieces he played, they were not wanting in melodic beauty and so charmed while their exposition amazed and electrified his hearers. But it was when he came away from the works of masters of the violin school, and revelled in a fantasia on the "Old folks at home " that he appealed to the popular ear, and his glorious exposition of the old melody, with its own native beauty and the added charms of the new setting of it, broughb forth the most rapturous applause. It is pleasing to learn that this evening another concert will be given, when doubtless a crowded house will await the re-appearance of this marvellously clever artiste.
