The quality of tone was better, and in. the main there was a nice even steadiness in their playing. The concerted work included Selections from Spohr, Greenwood, Rimmer. and Tiecke. The cornet solos by Mr. Fox in the song “Beneath thy window,” and in the beautiful anthem by 'Spohr. “As pants the hart,” with soft hand -accompaniment, were marked feature® of the programme.
