It mav be said at the outset that .the .size of the "house” war in no w!iy T commensurate with the excellence of the programme, which was really a most enjoyable musical treat. An event of interest was the Robot of Master-A. Ivinnesmltlr, a 12vear old pupil of Mr. Liehtwark’s, who displayed remarkable gilts as a violinist. The youthful student it already a master in technique and i. &'k ill'll I executant, Moreover his .in terpretation of the composer’s - art indicates that he is acquiring a sense of sympathy and expression. Hit solo " liadyn’s Hymn” was artistically treated, and in response to. an encore he gave “La Sercnata.” Violin solos were also given by Messrs. Liclitwark and Von Lubbe, both fine
players of repute, whose selections won hearty recallls, and the duct “Deli Conte” from “Norma” was rendered by Mr. Liclitwark and Master Hhinesmith in effective style.
