Twentyfive of those present signified their intention of been ruing players. Mr Furn Smith presided, and outlined his proposals so far as the club was concerned.

Frantically every seat in St. Peter’s Church was occupied on "Wednesday evening, when Mr Axel Newton, organist of Chalmers Church. Timaru, gave an organ recital. Associated with Mr Newton were Mrs 11. 8Russell (soloist) and Mr G. Berry man (cellist). The two-hour programme was well chosen and varied, and was gone through without (he big audience showing any lack- of interest in any item, some of which were lairlv difficult and exacting. Alter a devotional opening, which included tho singing ol “AYe Love The Place. 0 Lord,’ Air Newton commenced the recital with Bach’s “Aria.” The organ is a twu-slop manual, without a very wide range, bul Air New!on’s a 1 most silent manipulation o! slops, swell, coupe..; and pedal organ, in addition to tree, separate, and united use of both small and great manuals, was praisewortliv. All his items were very happily chosen, hill perhaps Brusig s “lain tasia,” Leniarc’s “Pilgrim’s Chorus,” Beethoven's “Adagio.” Duhios “March of the Aiagi,” and ospcciady lus ponular “Toseatto” (Dubois) deserved and received special appreciation. The ’cellist, Afr G. Berryman, deli'd’ited the audience with his artistic renderings. His numbers wore? BautookV Hebrew melody al ,d “ In a Alonasterv Garden” iKetetby). Airs 11. S.
