The attendance was not so promising In

unable to get here until hate In the forenoon ,

fort Ye" and "Every Valley Shah be Ex-
alted" that left little to be desired except-
log more of the same kind.
Mr. Frank iCing Clark found himself at
home In the tousle allotted to him anti mitch
more at case thait in the "Eiijah. ' ' His text-
doting of thb difficult aria , "Vhy Do the
Nations o Furiously Rage , " was a masterpiece -
piece of vocalization. Mr. Tontlins began
the prelude at a temo that was startling by
itt ; Bpecd , but Mr. Clark was equal to the
emergency and sang the long roulades with
a rhythmical prectsion and clearness of tone
that did him great credit.
Mr. Tomhins iearncI the "Mes1ah" while
ho was yet a boy soprano In an EnglIsh
chorus. lIe knows all the tradItIons of Its
interpretation and besides puts into It a
yeliglous fervor that brings out to the fullest -
est extent Its grandeur. The work of the
chorus was Just what one would expect from
the Apollo club. Every 'ear the "Messiah"
Is sung at least twIce. Every singer knows
his iturt SO veil that his only danger Is an
accident because ho does know it so well.
A. wonderful climax was reached at the
close of the chorus "Ills Yoke is Easy , " and
again iii the "Hallelujah , " during the singIng -
Ing of which the audience followed tile
world-wide custom of standIng and thins
doing honor to tile subject , the tnttic and
the composer. This custom originated at
tile first Loittlon perforniunce , March 23 ,
1743 , and t'as tue result of a spoxitancotis
litiptIlso which cnuaed the king , George II ,
and the audIence to arise. thrilled by that
wondrous hrnso set to the words , "b'oi tue
Lord God Omnipotent Iteigneth. "
Thio second Part of the program eonlstcd
of the cantata entitled ' 'Tile Swan and the
Skylark , " composed with piano accompatil.
meat by Mr. Arthur Goring Thomas , an
.Engllsh composer who was born in 1851
and died only a year or two ago. The enit-
tata was scored for orchestra by Mr. C.
Villars Stanford and was first produced after
Its composer's thcatii , The words were
skillfully belccted from the works of Mrs.
llelnans and Keats and Shelley. TIme prel-
titl& , omitted at the performance yesterday ,
Is of peculiar construction , having as a sort
of interlude a recitative for the baritone ,
who , -its usual , Is a narrator. This Is fol-
loweti by a chorus and this by a solo for
tenor. With this number the performance
began. It Is seldom , Indeed , that one hears
11101(3 beautiful music. In vart recItative In
style , in others melodic , It presents the
ringer with a canvas upon which to paint
ti variety o ! emotions and to display fidelity
of conception , skill in the use of tone color
alid vIgor of declamation of the highest
order. No one but no accomplished artist
heed attempt this number with itity hope
or success , aitci it is but the truth to say
that Mr. linnilin gave it an interpretation
that was a trlttnmpii of art. Ills perception
of the varying rhythms , his skill In the
acctitntilntlon of reserved force and his in-
telligelit 'use of it when the proper time
cattle , all rehlect upon him lasting credit.
Jurlxtg tile last thirty-four bars the solo Is
accompanied by tue chorus , and oven In tue
loudest climaxes Mr. Ilamlin's 'oic tlpver
lost its mastery of the situation.
Next In order conies a toio for alto , fre-
( jitently accompanied i ) . the chorus. it was
sung by MIss Campbell and in it situ proved
to bit a Iflost Pleasing singer. It stilts her
voice better titan the "Messiah" music and
is not so exacting In its interpretation. The
alto solo Is followed by a chorus for women
to which , however , thin limb voices nrc sooxi
adticd and titis by a solo for soprano. It
begins with a series of salutatory roulades ,
whIch arc answered by the chorus and Im-
modiutely enters upuit a rapId and bright
melody which itiakes considerable tecuinkal
deinalids tuba tixe sInger. The ever-present
chorus soon joins in , thrilled with the same
joyous spirit that inspIres the solo , As sting
by Miss Buckley its ieauties were sclf.evi-
( helit. tihs Buckley possesses a lyric voice
of beautiful natural quality and it Is thor-
oughtly traiiled. Sue hiss had experIence in
a large varIety of musIcal ivork and uses the
knowledge so gained with artistic success.
This nuinhter eitth iii a duet for tenor anti
soprano with choral aceojnpanintent aud is
tulioivcd by a short chorus whIch leads into
a solo for the baritone retidercd by Mr.
Clark wIth full , robust tones nut ! musicianly

tinisoti for the chorus , i'htlcli is one of the
