7.—Violin Trio—Serenade Humoristique & CEspagnole.H. Leonard.
Miss Jansen, Miss Edith Jansen, Miss Macleod. eight numbers four were orchestral, and being well within the capabilities of the orchestra, they were rendered as to greatly delight the audience, and do fresh credit to the attention and ability of the Conductor. There were two other instrumental numbers, a piano solo by Miss Hardie, played with such good execution and so much taste tell that the audience enthusiastically insisted onan encore; and, what was the most brilliant episode of the evening, a violin trio by our three first Lady executants, beautifully played. Here also an encore was not to be denied, and the fair artistes repeated the last movement. There were only two vocal numbers after all, Mr. Clapp, whose voice seemed to bea little tired, giving erg protiy ballad by Lovett King, and Bi. Nelson, who was in excellent voice, charm: ing his audience by his rendering of Cowen's "Promise of Life." The whole house was so anxious to hear him again that he could not refuse, his selection being Lord Henry Somerset's "Song of Life." It was very well sung and was heartily applauded. The Society may well be congratulated on the general excellence and success of their twenty-eighth concert.
