Wesleyan Choir Concert

« Last night the above concert was given to a moderate, but very appreciative audience. Considering tho short notice given to the public and the limited time that the promoters had to make arrangements necessary to ensure its success they should be very satisfied both in regard to the attendance and the financial result of the affair. Mr It. P. Haybittle, the conductor, performed his duties well and is to be congratulated oa the way the various overtures, selections, and choruses were performed. The overture 'La Debutante'was decidedly tho best of the instrumental pieces, while 'He rose, the Saviour rose ' carried the palm of the choruses. ' The Old Flag ' was sung by Mr Walter Haybittle in his usual good Style and was loudly applauded aud eucored, for which he repeated the last yerse. Miss Bellve sang ' Love Tide ' in a very brilliant manner and was also loudly applauded. Messrs K. F. Haybittle and A, Eade sang ' Larboard Watch ' heartily. Mrs Howie sang ' Kate O'Shane ' feelingly and well, aud was encored, to which she responded by repeating the last verse of the song. The 1 Captain of the Lifeboat ' was sung by Mr Udy. Mr W. Haybittle recited 4 The Silyer Wedding ' and* was well received. After an interyal of five minutes and the selection ' Robert Burns ' by the orchestra, and the chorus ' Glory to God in the highest, Glory ' had been rendered ; Mr G. Worsfold followed with tho song ' A Soldier and a Man ' (this being his first appearance) which he sang well and was encored. The duet ' The Two Cousius ' by Mrs Howie and Miss Urwin was greatly appreciated and was loudly applauded. Tho song ' Nazareth r Mr W. Haybittle sang splendidly and was encored to which Mr Haybittla responded to by singing • Calvary ' for which he was loudly applauded. The violin solo 'De Beriot's Fifth Air ' was excellently reudored by Mr Theodore Kitchen aud was well received. Mr W.
