PIANO RECITAL.

AN ENJOYABLE EVENING.

Mr. Harry Ore enhanced his reputation as a pianist last ever-- ing, when, in St. Androw's Hall, he gave a delightful recital to a thoroughly appreciativo audi- ence. He opened with Beetho- ven's Sonatu in C. Minor, which was a studious piece of work un. fortunately marred by trouble with the piano: and later went on to a group of oight Chopin num- bars, the first five of which were Proludes 1, 3,.9, 10 and 22. Those latter were admirably interpreted and then came the Eccossaise in D. "Major (very daintily played) and the evor-popular Polonaise in A. Major which the pianist translated with marked vorve and freshness.

In the second part of the pro- gramme, Mr. Ore first gave Grieg's Ballade in G. Major, which he troated with much understanding of the theme and in the lighter passage of which he demonstrat- od his characteristic delicacy of touch, The same quality was displayed later in Debussy's "The Snow is Dancing." Other items which greatly pleased were a cumposition by Mr. Ore himself, "Caninha Verdo," based on a Portuguese folk-dong, which is a "The Song of the very dainty piece of work; and Waves," treated in bold and mas- Withtol's
