CONCERT.

A very enjoyable concert was given in the Provincial Hall on Saturday evening, by Hr. J.' A. Edwards, the performers being pupils of his. Admission was by invitation, and these were issued to the parents and friends of the pupils.' The hair was crowded in. every part by an audience that was critical, but , a large proportion of the pieces wore highly'appreciated and well received. From the programme, which is given below, it will be seen that much of.the music.was of a'high class, and the way in which the instrumentalists and vocalists acquitted themselves, Was, strong evidence as to the shill of the teacher, 1 who clearly did hot", fear to put .his pupils to severe tests. It is satisfactory .to nolo, that a i determined attempt was made to prevent encores being demanded, and in only two instances was aii encore insisted upon. ;Mr, Edwards, who sang the “Stirrup' cup” with great ivigor and taste, had to reappear, and the, young lady who’ sang “Two worlds,” was. also "obliged to bow,to the demands of the ,audience,* who were greatly pleased with the pathetic and feeling manner in which she sang,'and the musical skill she ' displayed. Special mention must ho made of. the exv .quisito playing of Mendelssohn’s '“Leidsr,” ‘Bcothoyehls sonata 'in'A Flat, Gottsohalk’s “Last'hope,” Blumenthal’s' *“Les ideux anges,” and the singing of the'same'composer’s (Celebrated “Message.” , Indeed; the whole programme was got through in a highly satisfactory manner. At the" conclusion of the concert the Mayor of Wellington said, ho did hot .. think they 'ought to separate without thanking Mr,'Edwards and hit pupils for having entertained thorn so 'They wore all awaro of Mr. Edwards* attainments,: and wore acqualntod'wlth his ability ao a firstolass musician and vocalist. That night it had been' xnado apparent that he possessed in a, remarkable manlier tho faculty of imparting to others a share of that with which ho was so richly endowed. Mr. Dransfield then -uggestod that os they wore not all to speak in returning thanks, those present should express approval of his few remarks by ', bringing tho palms of their hands into vigorous contact.. This invitation was followed by very hearty applause.
