Coming with sach high reputation, great things were expected from Mrs. Ainsworth, and they were realised to the full. As will be seen from the programme, the selected pieces gave plenty of scope for her alocative abfities, and though the acoustics of the Institute at times prevented a proper appreciation, her efforts commanded enthuside io applause.
