Kingsteington: Choral Society: A concert of vocal and instrumental music was given by the members of this flourishing society on Thursday evening, the 9th instant, in the schoolroom of the above place, and it was very numerously attended. Amongst the audience were Lord and Lady Clifford and family, J. Manning, Esq., and the Misses Manning, Rev. H. Marrin, Rev. L. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Rev. J. M. Hawker, Mr. Wright, Mr. Pinsent, &c. The programme contained much more difficult music than the previous ones. The rector was in capital voice and gave “God bless the Prince of Wales” in excellent style, which elicited a most rapturous encore. Mrs. Hext and family who are so thoroughly musical, contributed much to the success of the concert, and great credit is due to Mr. Browne for his admirable conducting. We were pleased to notice in the orchestra, which was led by A. H. Dendy, Esq., of Torquay, several well-known local amateurs who always heartily lend a helping hand in making these concerts attractive. We beg to congratulate the members of this society on their improvement and success. They deserve great credit, especially for the correct manner in which the choruses from the “Messiah” were performed.
