ORGAN RECITAL.

There was quite a fair con- gregation at St. John's Cathedral last evening, when Mr. J. W. White gave a most enjoyable organ recital. The programme was admirably varied, and Mr. White played better than we have ever heard him before. The tone poem, "Yasnaya Polyana," was interpreted in masterly style, whilst Wolstenholme's Allegretto in E. Flat was most sympath- etically rendered. The other numbers were also very creditably played, Mr. White having plenty of opportunity to display the capacities of the organ. Mr. A

Paine was the soloist. He sang "How many hired servants,” from "The Prodigal Son;" and

My hope is in the Everlasting," from The Daughter of Jairus. In both efforts he used his sweet and sympathetic tenor voice to full advantage, singing through- out with admirable restraint and perfect enunciation. The next recital is to take place on October 28.
