The gems of the evening were no doubt the songs given by Mi3s Moginie and the duet with Mrs Chambers. The pianoforte trio was ■well rendered, a& was also the vocal one, both having a fair share of applause. Mr Garland was evidently buffering from a cold, and was therefore heard at a great disadvantage, nevertheless, "Consider the !|Lillies "was 'very nicely given. The glees Were very fairly sung, the best being, "Sweet and Low," and the worst the "May Carol," the latter being out of tune in the last four bars. Mrs Chambers, Mrs Macara, and Mis>s and Mr Selby gave every satisfaction in their respective solos. The t ead. ings' were good and nere well appreciated, with the exception of the one given by Mr Paltridge, which was about two-thirds too long. The accompaniments were played by Mrs Chitty, Miss Effie Chambers and Mr Hartly. The choir meet in the schoolroom every fortnight for the practise of secular music, on which occasions they arc joined by icvefal ladies belonging tod iffereni denominational choirs, and who kindly assisted on the above occasion.
