A glance at the programme will at once assure any one at all musically inclined that I such a collection of both vocal and instrumental compositions are in'them- : selves an attraction; and having attended several' "of ' the rehearsals, we can'confidently recommend lovers of good music, .such. asthe advertised programme contains, to make a point of being present at the performance to-morrow evening.

This latter is better known m musical circles as "'lncline thine ear." Following next are selections: from Farmer's Mass m B flat, the i solo parts being undertaken by the , Misses Newcombe and Hanlon, Mrs Holt and Messrs Dungan and Weight.
