Tin: last of these recitals was «iven last night, for the benefit of Mr., F. P. Pines the director. Hie programme comprised " The H.-u-ruouiouh Blacksmith" of Uundel • a scherzo in B Hat liiiiior, from Chopin • a romance from Taimhauser (Wa<uier*) - Turkish March, and the serenade from "Don Giovanni;" an "Ave Maria" serenade, and the "Funeral Jlareh of a Marionette/" by Gounod, and a paraphrase from Verdi's "Aida." This completed the first part.

As on the° previous nights, Mr. Ketteii was loudly applauded after every selection.
