Williamson, Fast Street, on July 1, and stealing therefrom the sum ot £14, using dynamite to burst t-hciafe. After hearing evidesce at length the Court com mitted Oliver for trial at Timaru sittings of the Supreme Cuurt. Bail was refused. A full report is held over. Thh Friedbnthal Rkcital.—lt is seldom that loTers of music m Ash.burtga have an opportunity of hearing an artist with auoh Ability as & pianist as Herr Friedenfchal, and one who hag th« power of keeping an audience interacted for nearly two hours as was the o»»s at his reaital laits evening Everyone must have been struck with the wonderful fac.Uty with which he played some of tho most difficult passages, and abora all his delicate and singing touch, which was particularly noticeable m the first movement of Beethoven's Sonata m 0 sharp minor (usually called " Moonlight.") In every piece Horr Frieiienthal player*, the finished manner m which he brought ou the melody aal kept the accompaniment pianissimo wan a delight to his hearera. One of the most charming numbers of the evening was Chopin's lovely nocturne op. 15, No 2, which wa,a bracketed with the celebrated funeral march and polonaine m A fi*t major. rihe latter wa* enthusiastically enc»red and thi performer gave Chopin's "Andante Spianata" m response. The n«xt three cumbers bracketed together ware played m a masterly style and another encore followed the third piece, "Csardaban Pusztaban," and the item then given waa an arrangement by Herr Friedenthal of the " L»at rose of summer," played entirely with the left hand. Spaca will not allow us to apeak of each pumber, but we noted the particularly fine portrayal of the " Storm soene " from the Flying Dutchman, and the charming arrange ment of Corelli's gavotste, which was played m the most delicate manner and obtained another encore. The frequent applause of the large audience showed how thoroughly Herr Friedenthal's recital was appreciated and enjoyed.
