Of the Concert itself one is rather inclined in indict the person responsible for the big programme. A fault of moss Amateur Societies is that they are apt to prolong their efforts to the boring point, and it was really a great pity that this was allowed to mar to such an extent what was really the finest concert ever heard in that theatre. At 1,30 .in. one cannot be expected to be as attentive and ap preciative as one might to be when realiy excellent music is being played.

That Sr. Senna Fernandez and Mr. Bernardo receive the applause they did for their exquisite playing the violin and violoncello respectively was certainly in the circum- -tances a notable tribute to the merit of their performances. The undue dength DE the programine prevented Miss Fernandes from conceding the audience's insistent request for an encore. Chopin. at her hands, was not the tiring classic finger exercise it is with most Amateurs but a wonderfully sympathetic inspiration. Most of the sungs were Portuguese mou tain Folk songs and it says much for the singers that though they were singing in an alien language to the majority, they won the appreciation of the audience. The hackbone of the concert was, without Under the very doubt, orchestra.

The performance of these two must be counted as particularly good. The res was run with good judgment all round and the heartiest congratulations are due to the owners, trainer and jockey of Colum- bis for such splendid success, The result of the race was: Messrs.
