Signoh Alberto Randeqger sayß:—"Mr Gordon Gooch has always proved himself most effloient and thoroughly reliable in all the Concerts he sang at under my direction. Madame Sainton-Dolby:—"Your rendering of the basso solo musio in my Cantata [St. Dorothea] was extremely effeotive." Professor Dr. Macfarrbn :—" Has a powerfu and unuaually-extensive voice; is an excel lent reader at first sight; and. in enunciation of words, is very good." Mr Walter Lacy :—" Elocution, excellent. Mr Lewis Thomas also writes:—" All the gentlemen in the Choir [the Temple Churoh and Mr Edward Hopkins [the organist speak in the highest terms of your singing. J Mb Walter Macfarrkn :-" Has a remark ably- fine bass voice, sings in tune, and is a capital reader." ■ Mr Frank R, Cox :—" Possesses a floe voice, and has sung in various parts of England with great success." The original letters from which the afiove is quoted are in Mr Gooch's possession, togethel with the highest opinions of the London and Provincial Press, such as 'The Musical Times," "Musica World," "Daily Telegraph," "Era ' &c, &c.
