Mr Griffen gave “Hush Me, O Sorrow” (Somerset.) and “The Lowland Sea” (Branscombe) in good style. Mr Gregson’s rendering of ■ a difficult pianoforte solo, “Spinning Song” by Raff, was applauded. Miss D. Paterson, a young singer with a remarkably powerful voice, gave “Beloved it is Morn,” by Aylward; and Miss Siheele sang “When We Meet,” by Hope Temple.
