ORGAN RECITAL.
The request recital at His Majesty's last night produced a by uo means hackneyed programme, as so often happens. Pre-eminent anicng, its contents Bach's Toccata and Fugue" in D Minor builds up its stately themes into a masterly and grandiose structure, demanding all tho resources of skill and brilliancy of execution that is displayed by I>r. Bradshaw in its interpretation. The splendid overture to "WiJiam Tell," well arranged lor the organ, i> always a welcome number, in which the refinement of the performer is well ihustrated. In the Prison. iSeeao from "Trovaioro," tho Mlserure Choru:: comes out effectively, whereas the vocal duet attached must rely upon tho imagination of tho listener. The duetto from Mendelssohn's 'Songs Without Words," sounded well m the transcription provided, and Lachuca-'s "Festival March," and the Gavotto played in response to an encore, conip.eted the evening's performance, which had again attracted a very largo audience. The noises audible at various stages of the programme seem to be unavoidable in tho circumstance. , ?, howover much one may regret tho occurrence.
