CHORAL HALL-"The Martyr of Antioch."

The Choral Society's fourth concert of the ; season was]given on Tueaday night, the work performed boing Sullivan's "Martyr of Antioch." As usual, tho hall waa crowded to its utmost capacity, every inch of space being eked out to afford room either for sitting or standing. Those who were prudent enough to tako time by the fore lock to the extent of some half-hour or bo were fortunate enough to gain what seats were still unoccupied, while they who came later either had to content themselves with merely hearing from Bide rooms the music discoursed in the hall, or else were obliged to retrace their steps homoward. Tho enlargement of tho hall is nn urgent necessity. . . . . Tho " Martyr of Antioch," in its musical form, is a kind of compromise between tho oratorio and cantata, and the composer, re- C.icnising its hybrid character, has olocted to call it "a sacred musical drama. The words are taken from Dean Milman s well-known poem, and tho music was pre pared for tho Leeds Festival of 1880, ol which tho composer was appointed con ductor in succession to Sir Michaol Costa. A wiso judgment was exercised by tho Choral Socioty's Committeo in placing it upon thoir programme, and this for a two fold reason. Firstly, the public of Auckland hnvc never before been introduced to one of Sir Arthur Sullivan's sacred or quasi sacrod compositions ; and secondly, " Tho Martyr of Antioch " is his most recent effort in that domain of musical skill. Its melodious stylo and independent treatment aro thoroughly characteristic of the most tunoful English composer of the day. His early training in the Chapol Royal, and his subsequent career as nn organist, have assistod to givo him a jicnchaut for suave cx prossivonoss in his moro serious composi tions, and this predisposition finds abundant display in tho work under notice. It also loads to some difficulties, tho most conspicuous of which is the largo chare of chorus singing assigned to male altos This is only to bo expected from one who has himself been a chorister-boy, but as tho Choral Society docs not possess any male altos, the music written for them had to bo takon by tho contraltos. . As explained in a previous issue, the theme of the work is tho martyrdom of St. Margarita, a young priestess of Apollo who has been converted to Chrietianity. She remains steadfast, despite tho angor of her lather Callias, and her lovor Olybius, and is sus tained and chnerod by tho Christian bishop Fabius, The character of the narrative suggests its stylo of musical treatment. As in othor Bacred works of a Bunilar design, and notably tho "Elijah," a marked and distinctive contrast is preserved between the Pagan and Christian music, and some very tine effects aro obtained in the chorus wherein sopranos and contraltos sing tho Pagan maidens' triumphant hymn of adoration to Apollo and tenor and bassos simultaneously raise their voices in rovorent praieo of the Christian God. Here tho parts are agreeably harmonised, and tho ensemble is admirable. There is a very fair division of work botween chorus and soloists, and if the music is occasionally beset with difficulty, its constant melodiousness amply ropays careful execution In it there^ is more than one suggestion of strains which have boon operatically elaborated, and throughout the ear is gratified by the light, dulcet, tender, and highly expressive music.

The performing forces last night were atjthoir normal strength collectivoly, but thoir relative power was somewhat different. Thus, tho orchestra was deficient in the heavier wind instruments, such as bawoons nnd trombonos, while an American organ waa brought into requisition to ninko up for instruments of which we have no local representatives. Tlie orchestra also in cludedaharp.uponwbichMrsStephenson ren dered very material ossis'a'ico ia tho beauti ful arpoggio uccoinpaninrent to Margarita's solo recitativo and hymn, and again in her closing solo. Thoro was a better vocal balanco than iidual, consequent upon a marked incroaso in the number of con traltos. In fact, tho contraltos have never mado a nearer approximation to tho Bopranos in strength, for tho latter were fower than usual, and tho former much more numerous. The several divisions were represented in tho following proportions : - Sopranos, i^s ; contraltos, 30 ; tonors, 23 ; baSHOs and baritones, 33 ; instruments, 33. llerr Schmitt wielded the baton with mastorly precision. Making duo allowance for its diminished st rengl h, tho c rohestra ac quitted itself admirably, affording through out, a reliable support to tho singers, and a full body to the harmony. In solo accompanimont?, however, it dis played its boaotting sin of playing too loudly. Tho striking introduction, opening in andante maestoso tempo and proceeding by a gradual diminuendo to a kind of subdued and dreamy drono sus tained entirely by strings and dull rumble of drums, was vory ell'ectively interpreted, and so ulso was tho prelude to the following chorus. Whero, however, tho general exocution was good, there is no need to specialise. Tho work ia by no means overbur thened with choruses, and for tho better nchie"ement of tho composer's purpose, tnalo and fomalo voices aro nearly always eoparatoly grouped and utcd. In this way ho imparts a distinctive colouring. The chorus of Sun Worshippers \v,-i3 capitally rondored, tho basses being heard in it to especial advantage. Oc casionally the attacks wore a trifle irresolute Tho associated and diversified part choruses which ensue wore generally woll eung, the one beginning " Lord of tho Unerring Bow" being admirably inter preted, particularly towards its close, while in "Lord of the Cypress Grove" somo degreo of unsteadiness manifested iteclf. " Long Lire the Christian's Scourge," a very easy chorus-, was, of. courao, executed quite) successfully, and so also was the unaccompanied Funeral Anthem, the full solemnity and pathos of which told powerfully apon the audience. In the "Maiden's Evening Song," the sopranos and contraltos acquitted them selves very effectively indeed, Tho in cidental violin obligato was sympatheti cally played by Mr Charles Hernus. Tho combined chorus of Pagan maidens and Christiana, " Now Glory to God," waa about tho finest of the concerted selections, and the popular appreciation found expression in applause, despite conventional restraint. The soloists of tho evening were Miss Whi taker (Margarita), Mifs Corbott (Julia, a priestess), Mr Joseph Hanna (Olybius), Mr Upfell. (Callias), and Mr George Smyth (Fkbius). Mies Whitaker was tho debutante of the evening, and for a first essay she certainly acquitted herself very creditably. 'She,nag a clear and full soprano voice., of moderate range and pleasing timbre, end her enunci ation ie vory distinct—by no means a common accomplishment in a singer. In mezzo-voce passages, she produced a most favourable impression, but she was quite unequal to tho demands made upon her in the upper register. The exhaustion that effort entails was evidenced towards the close. The lady reads accurately, and sho sang throughout in tune. Her best number was the solo recitative and hymn, " Yet Once Again," which was listened to with groat pleasure. Miss Corbett was allotted the two contralto solos, but in the first one, viz.. "The Lovoeick Dameel Laid," eho failed to do herself justice. Thia^was amply atoned for, however, by hor rendoring of tho second solo, " Io Piean," a beautiful morccau, which was aung with accuracy and taste. It and Mr Hanna's "Come, Margarita, Come," woro the solo gems of the concert. Mr Hanna was in good voice, and his light and sympathetic tonor was usod with nice effect. The sweet and tender aria " Come, Margarita, Come," was sung with great delicacy of ex pression. Tho gentleman's enunciation, as usual, was admirably clear, his phrasing good, and his portamento really excellent. In some of tho lesser concerted passages he did not assert the due prominence of his part, but his Bhare of tho solos was rendered very successfully. Mr Upfell was slightly hoarse, and therefore was placed at a dis advantage. He Bang accurately, but lacka foeling, a failing that.nervousnessmay partly account for. Sir Smyth's part was a very small one, and it was creditably fulfilled, albeit the unnecessary stress laid upon cer tain vowels constituted a notable defect. Aa for the smaller concerted pieces, they were satisfactorily performed. The work was somewhat abridged by the omission of tho organ solos and the curtailmeut of several of the vocal paseages, but the performance was quite long enough. Herr Schmitt had the performers well in hand from beginning to end, and the evidence of careful and assid uous training was manifest throughout. Tho manner in which the work wbb execu ted reflects upon him that credit which is his due. We therefore congratulate both him and tho performers upon tho rosults of thoir collaboration.

THE SAN FRANCISCO SERVICE.

Correspondence Laid before tho Hour*.

(by telegraph-parliamentary

RKPOBTEE.)

Wellington, this day. i Aa I advised you yesterday afternoon, the , Government are communicating with tho New South Wales Government re the San Francisco service and subsidy Jubl before the half-past 5 adjournment, tho Colonial Treasurer said he was not yet tn a position to bring the matter beforo tho Houso, as he was awaiting some roply from Sydney, but the Government desired that honourable members should know how the question stood at present. On Tuesday he would give notice that tho House should resolve itself into Committeo of tho Whole on Friday to consider the question of the San Francisco service, and ho did not doubt that on that day he would have a reply from Sydney. A batch of papora relating to the negotiations were 'aid on the table last night, but merely bear out what I have already wired you. In September tho Postmaster General of Sydney telegraphed to Sir Julius Vogol—" My Cabinet will gladly consider the question of contributing to a San Francisco service terminating here, but are not likely to contribute £7,000 to a service terminating in New Zealand and carried hereby a branch line." On September 10th, Sir J. Vogol received a lotter from the Managing Director of the Union Company, regretting that the Com pany could not offer to undertake a mail ser vice between Auckland and San Francisco within the terms indicated intheresolutionof the House, but were willing to negotiate for tho performance of the service with a branch service between Auckland and Sydney on the followingbasis: —1. Subsidy to be £30,000 per annum; Company torecoivoallcontributions from other colonios or countries ; Govern ment to assist in securing such contributions. 2, Twenty day service for three years to be extended to five yoars, should tho Company be prepared after two years to shorten the voyage to ninotccn days. 3. Free of all port charges, including dock charges at Auckland, subject to the following provi sions \-(al Company to be at liberty to employ any of tho present boats to open the service, even though not up to contract speed ; (b) Company to be at liberty, if found necessary for docking purposes or for other considerations, to employ a third steamer in the through service, and to extend the voyage to Sydney in lieu of branch eervice ; (<■) provision to made for an earlier termination of tho contract should it bo found impossible to secure satisfactory contributions from other colonies or states. —I am, &c, James Mills, Managing Diroctor. Vessels proposed for main line : New b.p. Mararoa, and a vessel equal to the Aus tralia. Also, on the 10th Sir Julius Vogel received the following communication from John Eder and Co.'s representa tive:-" Sir,—l hereby offer to convey mails between San Francisco and Auck land onco in every four weeks (but without branch service between Auck land and Australian pott) during the period of three yoars from date of commencement of sorvico on or about the 18th day of November, 1885, and to provide for a ser vice between Auckland and San Francisco at least twoshipsof the description mentioned in the terms and conditions of contract basis of twenty days between San Francisco and Auckland, for a turn cf £40,000 per aanum, and payable by the Postmaster- General of New Zealand, in respect to each separate mail, but to be subject to de ductions as mentioned in the terms and con ditions in respect to each mail not conveyed within contract time ; or between Sydney and San Francisco, for tho sum of £30,000 per annum by the same boatc, 1 receiving all mail moneys which I may be able to obtain from the Government of New Souih Wales in addition to ths said sum of £30,000. Vessels to be employed : Zealandia and Australia.'

Then follows some correspondence with tho Postmaster-General of New South Wales. On the 14th Sir Julius Vogel telegraphed to the Sydney Postmaster- General : "Service Sydney, Auckland, and 'Frisco, with Sydney terminus, will cost much more than I anticipated. Thought, when last wired you, obtain it for £30,000 ; now, least price seems €40,000, and, if wo arrange it, should have to ask you to pay £14,000, and leave us the whole of payments from other colonies. We are not, however, favourable to this arrangement. We prefer another pro posal — Sydney, Auckland, Honolulu, there connecting with fine steamers of Speckles Bros., known as tho Oceanic Com pany, which run steamers twice monthly between Honolulu and San Francisco. A representative of the Company ia here, making arrangements with the Union Com pany and Pearce's agent. We are decidedly favourable to this, as it is cheaper, and we think this mail ssrvico will be better, as contractors' influence will obtain railway facilities. Tho cost is £30,000, not to exceed 25 days' service bctweon Sydney and San Francisco, Sydney beinsr the terminus. Tho boats proceed from there to Auckland, Honolulu, and back. Oceanic bouts wait at Honolulu and San Fraucisco 24 hours without demurrage. Cost, £30,000, contractors keeping any payments from America and Honolulu. We will recom mend this to our Parliament if you will contribute £0,000, leaving us the payments from othor colonies. Please reply quickly on 15th." No reply has yet come to this communication.

Several telegrams ■which passed between Dr. Campbell, agent for the Pacific Mail Company, and Mr Gray, Secretary of Post offices, are appended. " Dr. Campbell asked for time for the Pacific Mail Company to tender under the allerod conditions, and offered to cable to New York if delay ■wore granted. Mr Gray finally replied : "Postmaster • General ia unable to promise you any delay. Pacific Mail Company has shown no disposition to tender, and there is reason for thinking it is adverse to doing 80. Pearce ia acting separately. Whole matter must be laid be fore House."

The boats to be used by the Oceanic Company for the mail servico between Honolulu and San Francisco will be the Maripora and tho Almeda.

THE BAND CONTEST

A Singular Allegation,

(BY TELIiUK.U'II.—OWN CORKESI'ONDISNT.)

Wellington, this day. Last night's "Post" has the following:— "We regret to learn that what appears to have been a determined attempt was made on Saturday evening to prevent the Christchurch Garrison Band from play ing at the Exhibition iv a satisfactory manner. Just beforo the visitors com menced sight reading and test pieces, each of them drank some water obtained in tho neighbourhood, and immediately afterwards ovoryone found his throat was quite parched, rendering the playing of a wind instrument a matter of groat difli culty. From the fact that every one of the musicians was affected, it was judged that the water had been doctored, and Bteps were at once taken to counteract the dastardly attempt made to prevent the band from playing satis factorily. Mr Dorn, the conductor, sent out and obtained a supply of sodawater, and after drinking a quantity of this liquid tho bandsmen found that the unpleasant ness in their throats had been almost re moved. The sight-roading and test pieces were then proceeded with, and, as the au dience are awaro, they were splendidly played. It is believed that either alum or limo was dissolved iia the water consumed by tho visitors. Acting under the advice of their bandmaster, the Christ church bandsmen refraiuod from taking any notice of the matter."

NEW ZEALAND j^ROZEN MEAT & STORAGE COMPANY, LIMITED. CAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000, DIRECTORS: A. Bei*. Esq. !>■ £• Momoch, Esq. J. Basks, Esq. I* »• t Na*han' Esq- P. Cokiskev, Bse. Hok. J. Williamson. j Sib F. Whitaker, X C.M.G. The Company bogs to notify to the public that the works at Auckland and the Waitar* nave now been completed, and constitute the most extensive Meat-preserving and Freez ing Works in Now Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Is now open at the Company's Works at the Railway Wharf, where Town and Country orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. The Company can refer with confidence to the superior quality ci ita Prime Meat, as selected for the market from large quantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at the Company's Works, Waitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to the Company's brand in this line, which, with tbo faci lities afforded by the cold-air process, can bo cured in mild pickle, and the necessity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, here and id Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON . CURIN £ The Cooling Chambers for Bacon-cnring at the Company's Works in Auckland are now so far advanced that this New Industry has been commenced, and choice Hams aki> Bacon can be offered cured on the most modern principle. I articular attention will be paid to the selection of Pigs vor this csk, and on no account will any oxcept Dairy ox Corn Fkd Pigs be purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for on Auckland! flam and Bacon Factory. MEAT . pRBSERVINt , This branch ia equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and tho Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS ,\a superior to anything of tho kind heretofore offered to tho public. The Company would epecially call attention to the fact that the COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKED IK THS SQUARE CAN (The right to which is patented), is tho first samplo from nny part of the world that has been able to compete successfully in tho London Mnrkot with the best Chicago brands. Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in tho round cans, although rnllod compressed meats, wore only saloablo in tho English markets, where a low prico waa the first consideration, but meats of tho Now Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition Jor_ Admir alty supplies at Doptford Dockyard, wore awarded tho highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands. Tho following extract from tho letter of tho Company* Arotilb in London,, tho N«w Zealand Lonn and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is rofowed to, who write tt follows : — " We have the pleasure to hand sou herewith an.extract from a I»'J?"'™™' VCltivP T?" the quality wrb fully appreciated." Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during tho transier ot tho Company's Moat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitnra, and owing to-tho fact that tho resorvo which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by the INew South Wales Government for tho Soudan expedition, tho Company has boon unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which they may bo favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to open a large Wholesale Butter Depot at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and tho necessary plant are now boing PrßP Itcis anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dialing with tho ever-increasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. Tho Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Fresh Eggs. Communications may at onco be andressed to them. The utmost care will be taken in the selection of Butter for table use. This wilJ be, mttk up fresh every morning. As early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter willba ddmrad in refrigerated carts, so that retailors will be able to obtain a day's supply eadr morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company s tfraudi o! Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. x.,i o «, f The department will be under the management of Messrs blanvule Md Jillyeu, whoM Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ACID AND MANURE WORKS.
