ORGAN RECITAL.

ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL

The organ recital at St. John's Cathedral last evening was thorough. ly appreciated by the large concourse of good music lovers present.

THE RESERVOIRS.

Despite the fact that a considerable amount of rain has fallen recently

Mr. Denman Fuller, F.R.C.Q. there is still plenty of room for more water in our reservoirs. Even if the L.RAM, at the organ, in addition rain should stop for some time now to doing full-justice-to the older and this must be the heartfelt wish works, by Bach, Tschaikowsky,

The fact remains, bow- over, that it's still raining. Once all the reservoirs are full perhaps the fiat will go to the weather expert to turn off the tap.

A PHARIE JOKE.

The oft-played, but ever beautiful, "Ardante". by Batiste, with its mellow Bute notes and rippling fugues, remindful of singing birds and running brooks, was excellently interpreted.

The programme of the recital bas already been published.

The following paragraph, which was printed on the programme, is reproduced in order that it may receive the widest circulation pos- sible :-

Mr. Dengan. Fuller is very desirous of adding a Diaphonic Tuba to the "organ, especially as an ex- ceptional opportunity occurs of busið.
