ST. JOHN’S CHURCH BAZAAR

A success quite beyond the expectations of those in charge was achieved at the annual bazaar held yesterday in the Drill Hall in aid of the funds of St. John’s Anglican Church. For a long time past the ladies of the church have been working hard preparing goods for the bazaar and tho amply stocked stalls which confronted patrons yesterday and last night bore eloquent evidence of the work that had been done. In addition to the hosts of articles for sale a large number of competitions were conducted, these, with tho proceeds from tho stalls, netting a gross return of about .£'2oo, a figure which was quite equal to last year's effort. The success of tho bazaar was very gratifying to all those who worked so assiduously towaifls that end and the generous support of the public at a time like the present was the subject of much appreciative comment.

NOTED PIANIST'S VISIT. Music lovers of Feilding and district will he pleased to learn of the visit to Feilding on Tuesday, December 6, of Paul Vinogradoff, the noted Russian pianist. It is said that few pianists of real eminence have had such a romantic and adventurous I career as has Paul Vinogradoff. At the age of eight years he gave his first series of pianoforte recitals in Russia and Poland. During his later student years ho became a close friend of the composer, Nicholas Scriabin, whose works, after the War, became the centre of a world-wido on Ir. The youthful Vinogradoff was often praised by Scriabin as the ideal interpreter of certain of bis works. The year 1911 saw his graduation with highest honours from the famous Moscow Conservatoire, and later he was appointed by the Imperial Russian Musical Society to the directorship *of the Academy of Tomsk. Fame came to him swiftly in Europe, with an outstanding reputation as pianist, composer, conductor and professor. A series of amazing events and escapes brought him safely through the war years and the Russian revolution. In the year 1921 ho travelled across the breadth of Asia and arrived at Vladivostok. Then began a tour of the East. Hundreds of concerts were given in China, Japan and Java. While he was in Yokohama came the great earthquake, and Vinogradoff lost, almost all his music and possessions. The Feilding recital is being given at the request of the local branch of the British Musical Society.
