PERFORMANCE OF RrTH."—On Wednesday evening last a splendid performance of the sacred eantata, 41 Ruth," was given at Bethel Chapel, Court-road, Cadoxton. Preceding the perform- ance the following items were well gone through -Pianoforte solo, Moonlight on the Hudson." Miss A. J. Lewis song. The soul's awakening," Madame Rees song, "The king's own," Mr G-wilym Williams song. Mrs Petty. The characters represented in the work were as follows :—" Ruth." Madame Hooper Rees. R.A.M., Cardiff; Naomi," Mrs Petty. Barry Dock Orpah," Mrs Llewellyn, Tynewydd and chorus of reapers. See. The choir was rather weak, but with the skilful assistance of Miss Lewis. Barry. at the pianoforte, and Miss Howe, Cadoxton, at the organ, the choruses were exceedingly well rendered. Rotable in the performance was the precision of attack and the clearness with which the plot was presented to the listeners, and had the chorus been a little stronger no doubt the in- terpretation would have been far more clear. -Some of the choral recitatives and light choruses were nevertheless very effectively rendered, and reflected great credit upon the conductor, Mr W.
