Treasurer responded . So far the Lodge was a success , as everything was paid for , and thero was a good balance in hand ; aad , judging from the number ot applications for affiliation and initiation , it would bo hiphly rrosieuns . lie thanked them lor receiving the toast so henitily . Bro . Alpass now rose to propose tho toast of the evening , lie remarked it was customaiy on such important occasions

as the present to propose the health of the W . M ., and that duty devolved upon him . He felt a pleasuie to do this , as he knew that the Lodge under the Mastership of Bro .

Ancient Union , No . 203 , and over which Bio . Johnston presided as W . M . ; it was a well worked Lodge .

Madame Worrell-Duval's Annual Concert

MADAME WORRELL-DUVAL'S ANNUAL CONCERT

AS announced last week in our columns , this Annual Evening Concert was held , on Monday evening , at the South Place Institute , Finsbury , E . G ., and Madame Worrell-Duval may , on the ¦ whole , be congratulated on its success . There was a very goou attendance , and the audience was what may properly be designated an appreciative one . There was some excellent music , both voca .

and instrumental , and the evening passed off satislactorily . 1 bereave , however , one or two matters which call lor some remarks . The ) will be made in no unfriendly spirit , but rather with a view to the avoidance in future years of what , in our humble judgment , wendraw bucks , of a more or less formidable chaiactur , to the complete

saceess of tho evening . In tho fiist place , the programme was I ' m too lengthy a one . Even the most insatiable lover of music musi have loutid a t-eucert , comprising no less than twenty-lour items , including two long piano solos and two violin solos , a surfeit , if noi uft embarrus , of musical wealth . Then the opening duet fur pianoforte , though a work of our distinguished countryman , the , lute fcii

• Steindale Bennett , was not a sufficiently stirring preparative lor the excellent morceaux that were to follow , while . benedict ' s song , '" Rock me to sleep , " admirably sung , as it undoubtedly was , by Mias Emma Buer , had an ominous titie . This effect was no doubt counteracted by Gouuuu ' s lively " Ou Vouiez-vous Ailer ? " spiiiteui ) sung by Miss Bessie . Sttgud 3 but iu epita of this aud raw )

Madame Worrell-Duval's Annual Concert

other redeeming features , the concert did not go so capitally , or excite so much enthusiasm as it must have done had the programme been shorter and more judiciously selected . Again , we regard it as a conspicuous error to introduce Italian songs , however admirable , into a programme intended for an English audience . The very best of Italian music can bo heard nightly at

Her Majesty's , but the bulk of the English public , though well content to hear foreign operas in the houses provided for such performances , take but little interest in Italian songs when introduced at an ondinary concert . True , in the very cream of society , Italian , German , and French music is as much appreciated as are the productions of onr own composers ; but then the andiences are capable of judgment .

They are familiar , moro or less , with these languages , and understand the words as well as tho music . But there is no detraction if we say that a South Place Institute audience , fashionable and intelligent though it may be , is not tho best and worthiest— that is , as regards musical taste and judgment and linguistic knowledge—that could be found . Having , however , noted these blemishes , which affeoted

tho composition of the programme rather than the entertainment itself , we pass to tho more agreeable duty of commenting on the performances of the soveral artists . All who took part in the concert may be said to havo acquitted themselves well , while several of thom excited among the audience a feeling not so very far removed from enthusiasm . Madame Worrell-Duval ' s contributions to the concert

were four in number ; an Italian song , by Bevignani , Blnmenthal ' a " Love the Pilgrim , " Franz Liszt ' s " Loreley , " and a duet with Miss Emma Bner , the well-known " Quis est Homo ? " of Rossini , and in all these the lady showed that she was a most accomplished artist . Miss Emma Buer saug " Rock me to sleep , " and Sullivan ' s " Thou art passing hence , " with tasto and judgment . Miss Matilda Roby

was very effective in " Love at the gate " and " Lovely spring . " In tho former song she fully merited the encore she ought to , and doubtless would , have received but for tho rigidly , and in this case , we think , unwisely enforced restriction forbidding all repeats , a restriction which , by tho way , was departed from in the second part of tho concert . Miss Bessie Stroud sang spiritedly " Ou , Voulez-vous Aller ?" and "My

lovo ho is a sailor , " while Mdllo . Arnim acquitted herself well in '' Thou art Weary" and "Hundred Pipers , " sung by desire . For tho latter song , Mdlle . Arnim was vociferously applauded , and by the removal of the aforesaid objectionable restriction was enabled to comply with tho wishes of the audience . As to Mr . Chaplin Henry , who contributed "I fear no foe" and "The Wolf , "

he was in admirable voice , and sang them both splendidly . Mr . Abercrombie rendered "The three Gifts" and "Tom Bowling" in a manner which delighted the audience , who were especially taken with his delivery of the former . Mr . Bamber is a violinist of no mean repute , and was applauded as well for his faultless exeoutiou as for

the delicacy of his playing , and both Mr . Osborne Williams and Mr . Turle Lee , with Herr Trousselle ; were very effective in the pieces allotted them for the piano . In short , the artists , one and all , gave satisfaction , and , as we have said already , bad the programme been less crowded the pleasure of the audience would have been without alloy .
