There was not as large an attendance at there should have been to hear Mr Bradley's organ recital last night at St. Patrick's Church. The most beautiful and important □ umber on the programme was Bach's masterpiece, the famous fugue—five-voiced —in E flat. Its time changes in the fugue from a fine movement) in quavers to one in six-eight time towards, the end, when the subject is also changed. Mr Bradley's performance was one which compelled admiration. His management oi the enormous technical difficulties of the music was marvellous. The other items of the programme were the Handel Concerto, No. 2, so beloved by advanced students of the organ, and Mendelssohn's beautiful and ever popular Second Sonata in C minor, Amongst the leas classical compositions were the Allegretto Vivace of Morandij and the'air with variations of Guilmant. Both were given '-with 'great delicacy. The , March Triomphale of Guirand and the beautiful prayer in F of Guilmant were rendered with wonderful expressive ness and judgment. The remaining four recitals will be held in the afternoon at five o'clock.
