As on the former occasion when it was presented in the Wesleyan Church, the service was rendered from beginning to end without a singlo fault. The Rev. L. M. Isitt again ably discharged the duty of reader, and Mr Walter Eapp conducted the musical portion of the service assisted by Miss Galloway at the harmonium, and by the excellent choir which he has so successfully trained, The solo parts were exceptionally good last evening, and the choruses all that could be desired, but they would be heard to s'lll greater advantage in a larger building, To do justice to the choristers and to Mr Bapp they ought to have an opportunity of rendering the service in a large hall liko the Theatre Royal. At the conclusion of the service a hearty vote of thanks on the motion of the Rev, D. Pulton, was accorded to all who had assisted in producing the programme, Mr Rnpp's services in particular being specially eulogised, and a wish was expressed that in the sweet bye-and-bye other entertainments of a similar character might be given in this town,
