CHORAL SOCIETY'S PERFORM ANCE TO-NIGHT.

Strike of t_e Orchestra,

For some short time past there has been a difference of opinion among the members of tho Choral Society as to tho advisability or otherwise of postponing the performance of Handel's "Israel in Egypt," It was not, however, imagined that the littlo " rift within the lute" portended any serious trouble, but, contrary to expectation, it has suddenly developed into a startling breach involving a withdrawal of the orchestral forces. Tho history of tho trouble may be briefly stated. _ Threo weeks ago a sub-committee, consisting of Messrs C. Hemus, E. Harker, V. E. Rice (Treasurer), R, A. Milligan Hogg (Secretary), and J. Knox (temporary con ductor), was appointed to arrange the cast of solo parts and to recommend the date of tho concert. This cast and recommenda tion were in duo course submitted at a committee meeting convonod in tho usual way, but held at 3 p.m. instead of at the usual hour, which is 4 p.m. At this meeting none of the five instrumen tal members wore present, the reason sub sequently assigned bein" that tho hour was inconvenient. Tho sub-committee's cast and recommendation were of course adopted by tlie Committee. Fivo days later—tickets and circulars for

. the concert having in tho incuntimo been issued—the Secretary learned that there was a strong probability of the orchestra as a body witholding its assistance at tho ap proaching concert. He therefore took upon himself tlie responsibility of summoning a special mooting of Committeo for yesterday, - at 12.30 p.iu. Of the 19 members-of Com mittee—viz., 5 instrumentalists, 7 vocalists, and 7 honorary members—ll wore present. Mr C. Hemus was again the only representa tive of the orchestra. A letter was read from the temporary conductor, stating that he had been told that the orchestra considered itself unprepared for the concert, and re marking that perhaps, in the faco of this fact, it would be advisable to postpone the performance. A motion was at onco made that the concert should be given on tho date already fixed, and to it an amendment was proposed that the concert should be post poned. The amendment was lost by only two votes, so that if the orchestral represen tatives had taken the trouble to attend the meeting, it could easily have been carried. After this the motion was put and agreed to nejji. con. As a consequence, the final rehearsal took place last'night. It was very largely attended by the vocalists, of whom about 150 wore present. The orchestra, however, was conspicuous only by its absence. ' . In assuming his place upon the conduc tor's stand, Mr Knox briefly explained that the members of tho orchestra had absented themselves, believing that " Israel in Egypt" had not been sufficiently rchenrsed to admit of a satisfactory publio perform ance. As fer himself, however, ho was prepared to obey the decision of the Committee that the concert should take place on the following evening. . This declaration was received withapplause. The Rev. D. Bruce (as Vice-Chairman of the Committee) then mounted the platform, and stated the circumstances leading up to the action of the orchestra. He said also that when tbe amendment for postponement was ' carried, the minority who had supported it had loyally accepted the decision of the majority, and were prepared to do their , best to render the concert a success. The Committee was therefore resolved to pro; ceed. with the concert, and relied upon ' the support of the vocalists in strengthen ing the attitude it had taken, up ns against the orchestra. This speech was also greeted with applause. The rehearsal was then proceeded with, and tho choruses wero performed with great spirit and accuracy, although only supported, by tlie instrumen tation of piano and organ. "We understand that the members of the orchestra advance as reasons for their determined action — (1) That there is a strong.and growing feeling . of dissatisfaction among the performing members that the Society Bhould be prac tically governed by gentlemen who have been appointed ori account of their social position rather than by reason of their feterest in ox knowledge of music, and that ' "fcheee gentlemen, while shirking; the regular duties of their office, .muster in full strength whenever it is desired to ■outvote t-o workers. (2) That the Com taitteo meeting at which the date of the concert was fixed took place at a highly inconvenient hour for the bulk of the per : forming members. (3) That the decision arrived at was tasty and ill-advised. Upon bobs of these grounds, however, can the uncompromising stand which the orcnest? a Jiaa taken up be justified. Jf the ' constitution ol the Committefi: is ob jectod toj then other steps can J>e taken .to secure relief; to jeopardlsa the success of a concert will not. effect that result. As to the inconvenience of the foour of meeting, the orchestra should havo tuade prompt complaint of that, instead of preserving complete silence, ond tlie chances are that the time would have been altered ' tosuittbem. The third reason hardly re quires answering. There can be tto possible jj.o_.«s vivendi among the members al any body unless in all matters of divided - opinion those who happen to be in; the "-' minority are prepared to cheerfully bow to the will of. the majority. The orchestra may, and very likely can, make out a very strong casp in support of its wish \ to postpone the concert, but in delay ing action until the eleventh hour it is Clearly in tho wrong. It should either Ibiivo n_ide its decision knoWn sooner, or also Its representatives should, have at tended the Committee meeting ' and carried through, as it could have done, the rejected amendment. ' ** It would really seem as though a kind of fatality attended the performance of "Israel in Egypt" in Auckland—as if . gome malifiic influence were at work 1 ■r.teiittnK dissensions beforehand, among trie-performers. When it-was last in re hearsal—now very many years ago—the tenors and basses, resentful of some action or. remarks on the part of Mr Joseph Brown ttiie then "conductor), withdrew'n't the last moment to the number of about 25. - Despite this desertion, the concert proved a triumphant success, and th 6 shame-faced vocalists promptly returned to their alle-

l glance.' . f ',:- So may it be on this occasion, At any rate, thO Committee is exerting itself to ensure a successful result. It is expected that 170 vocalists will be iv attendance '.to-night,- and 'the- incidental', instru ■ mentation will be supplied by 2.grand pianos, 1•• double-power harmonium, 2 double basses, 2 cornets, 2 French horns, •1 trombone, and perhaps some clarinettes, Mr-Neville G. Barnott and Mrs Woolley . will be tne principalpianists, and Mr V. E. Bice will act as organist.

A MYSTERY ELUCIDATED.

(BY TELEGI_.FH— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Napier, this day. About five months ago a man was Eeen to throw himself off Taradale1 Bridge, and the body was never discovered. Air the same time a person named Robert Thompson disappeared, and it was generally thought there was a connection between .the suicide andthedisappearance. Yesterday the body , of_*man partially submerged in sane, .was discovered at low tide on a mud-bank in the lagoon. Tho body had evidently been • in the water along time. From the state of decomposition it was impossible to rocog : -nise him, but from his dress it is supposed to be Thompson. An inquest was held to day, and a verdict of "found drowned" -■'-returned. --■- --. _-_ ■ •_r---:-*^*-- ~

The Award for Dairy Cow at the Show.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Wo, tho undersigned, in justice to the judges ottho Show, in justice to tho owner of tho prize dairy cow, and in justice to ourselves, consider it a duty incumbent on us to reply to. and contradict tlie sevoral false charges and insinuations contained in the remarks published in your paper of the 12th inst. as gathered from a long lettor sent you by a Mr J. Beasoly. There were 7 cows entered for tho two dairy prizes, and that number, including Mr li.'s oow, was duly brought out and put into the ring. The judges decided that ono judging should determine both prizes, and after a most careful inspection of tho 7 animals thoy selected 3 cows as tho best, and had the prize tickets presented to each of the owners of the same. After thqt, their judging was at an end, and thoir docision, under any circumstances, could not afterwards be re voked. In passing, it might be said.it was a pity the Society "had not determined that the dairy cows should be first on the list to bo judgod, and not have tho poor animals put off till 3 o'clock with their udders full of milk. The second day of tho Show the cattle had all to be inside tho Show grounds by 9 o'clock, and the first prize cow that morning was milked at 4 o'clock. It was measured, and amounted to 14 quarts. At 3 o'clock sho was again milked on the Show ground, and filled a bucket of 3 gallons, and that without froth, and as two of the judges woro near the box at the time, their atten tion was called to the milk in the bucket, nt which they seemed very pleased. This bucket of milk was by one of us taken over to the Secretary's house, and the maid re marked it was about a three-gallon bucket, and gave us an empty ono in exchange, two quarts less. When this lesser one was put down in tho box it was handed to Mr Beosely to milk his cow, as ho had been boasting his cow could fill it easily. After he had beon milking somotimo, and hearing it whispored it wis not tho samo bucket, but a smallor ono, the cow either stopped giving down milk or ho stopped milking for reasons best known to himsolf, and when this smaller bucket wantod two inches from tho top of the froth being full. As to what was posted up about the quantity of milk takon from the prize cow daily, viz., over 28 quarts, we can vouch for the accuracy of the state ment. For a week beforo the Show day, tho prize cow was milked both morning nnd evening in the presence of the owner, and the milk as duly measured. After the prize cow was drivon homo on tho second day of the Show nt half-post five o'clock p.m., sho was again milked, and gavo over 6 quarts of milk, thus making in all for that day something over 32 quarts, or equal to 8 gallons. We have all been connected with dairies many years. One of us has been in other countries and other provinces, and he in all his experience had only seen or heard of ono cow that could equal Mr Paton's cow fn quantity.— We remain, sir, yours, _c, A. Moboas, A., Given, and T. Ash, milkhands at Eden Hill Dairy. _____________»_,
