Alfred Walmsley, and John A. Haggitt. Mr D. G. Stark imported the negro folk song for the society. Other items are the majestic anthem of Beethoven, ‘Creation's Hymn’; a lovely New Hebridean folk song, ‘An Island Shieling Song’ (arranged by Mr Hugh Robertson); a part song of Handel’s ‘Judas Maccabseus ’ (the gift of Walter Ellis); a song from the Flemish, ‘They Cannot Kill the Soul’ (presented by_ Mr Arthur Barnett) ; and the rousing ‘ Roman War Song ’ (Dr Galway’s present to the choir). Mr Haggitt and Dr Galway will play the accompaniments. The soloist of the evening is Miss Irene Horniblow, L.R.A.M., and the ■ iolinist Miss Eva Judd, both of whom are well and favorably known. Messrs Herbert Prowse and E. R. Benton are the choir soloists. New subscribers are asked for. The box plan opens to-morrow.
