'-When I am Laid in Earth," -'Ah ii Tv Dormi Ancora" (Bassini), "Sic *ur Still-"(Frank), and "The Lass With he Delicate Air"' (Arne) complete the irst number. The famous "Shadow >°ng" from "Dinorah"' will probably >rove one of the greatest favourites of he evening, being an aria of a most briliant nature, enabling the singer to disilay the great powers of her voice. "Die -otosblume" and "Der Nusbaum" are wo of Schumann's most beautiful songs, ■articularly the latter, which has a ripiling accompaniment throughout, and rhen done full justice is a most entrancing number. -"Absence" (Berlioz) and The Balatella from "Pagliacci" of Leonavallo," euuie next in order, and will be ollowed by three favourite old English ongs—"My Mother 3id* Mc Bind" My lair" (Haydn). "Bid Mc Discourse" Bishop), and "I've Been Roaming" Horn).
