His first selection, "Gipsy Dance," was sufficient to rouse the enthusiasm of the audience, and in response to a vociferous encore he contributed a Cradle song," touching in its beautiful simplicity, which quite captivated his hearers. Mr. Rowlands was also encored for his second solo, in which he dis- plaved marvellously fine technique. He was accom- panied on the piano by Mr. G. H. Allen, of East- ham, who al so delighted the audience with his selection of comic songs, which included, "Dolly Grey, So was I," and as encores "Ballymoney Conversazione," and "Why did I leave my little back room." Mr. A. M. Proctor, who was in fine voice, gave Thou'rt passing hence," responding to an encore with the always-popular" Yeoman's Wedding." Mr. H. C. Houghton sang with good taste Only once more," while Mr. Robinson, after being encored for The laird's fling," responded with the humorous song "The jolly anglers."
