were also present Admiral Messrs J J Gilmoro Moss Colthurst and Has tow THU PROPOSED t'LOODri The question ad to in the event of the Cutlers Mills brook and being carried a pumping station at Cumberland Basin would be was raised At a previous meeting it decided to take up tho Cutlers Mills brook schemo only if on inquiry it was found that the necessity of a pumping Cation would be avoided The engineer was asked to consult witli the docks anci tho result of the between the two engine era was that the docks offer no opposition to the proposed culvert on the ground of a pumping station not being as he in his report of he considered such a station necessary A letter was road from the clerk of the Docks in which he stated that the matter had been laid before the Docks and they offered no objection to the proposed culvert The The farmer resolution will then that we report it advisable to carry out the Cutlers Mills It was suggested by Mr LLOYD that they should have both schemes The CHAIRMAN replied that if they took both schemes to the Council they must include a pumping station In answer to the question as to whether they were to take the scheme to the the replied at remarked that there was more done and ho considered there was greater necessity for the scheme The CHAIRMAN That is distinctly opposed to the report of the engineer Mr said he had visited tha and had seen it flooded over stud and added that it did not require a great fall of rein to cause tbe overflow The replied that they had had no floods there since the relief works were carried out in the and the scheme was by no means so urgent as tbe other one LLOYD said they could not do anything without a in and they might just as well include both schemes in it The CHAIRMAN said that if they attempted to take the two in the present temper of the con- they would loso both Mr that if the two things were the whole matter would be blocked The It means that we must either let the people in be perpetually troubling or we must agree to go on with the Cullers Mills brook culvert only We do not have a single thunderstorm without tea bury avenue Mr LLOYD said he should propose that they should go in for the scheme as well Cutlers Mills brook one The that the whole scheme was a very and it was thought better to take the smaller of the two especially as there was now loss of flooding in Mr LLOYD the two schemes might be taken separately to the Council The CHAIRMAN Thu whole matter will be jeopardised Mr thought to attend to one district ami another would cause an amount of dis- satisfaction Air believed that pressing for both schemes would only result in the matter being delayed Mr LLOYD said it could not begot through this year Mr BASTOW took exception to Mr Lloyd's remarks Mr LLOYD explained that lie did not say that he would not allow it to go but that the public would not allow it Mr that Air Bastow and Mr Lloyd should adjourn anci settle the matter Eventually the further discussion of the matter was postponed until the next FLOODING Oi THE ALLOTMENTS AT Mr raised the question oi the of the at Beam and asked if the owners of tha land from which the Hooded water came

first on the subject of pital Dr of presiding There was a good attendance of of homoeopathic hospitals and interested in the question Resolutions were adopted in favour of the federation of the various hospitals iu and an interim committee was of representatives of the homoeopathic to formulate a practical federation scheme At the congress which Dr of occupied the chair The PRESIDENT opened the congress with the usual presidential address He said they met after an interval of 21 years iu this yet very modern city of light and as ib with much of the historic and yet responsive to every impulse of the moral and intellectual life of the day They were met in a year that would long be memorable in the annals of their country It happened that pathy attained its centenary last so that to them in particular the Victorian era was pre-eminently interesting as being also the era of homoeopathy And a century it had been for them Surely never since the time of Galileo had a scientific doctrine been assailed for an entire century by such determined foes as had been their and at the end of this longed antagonism they they were stronger in themselves and stronger in the confidence of the public than at any previous period of the century Opposition found them detached and it had them together Henceforward homoeopathy had the promise of a distinct whatever might be the future policy of the profession with regard to them They were in an anomalous position by the profession at large they were neither accepted nor refuted The fact was that a wrong of their case was made at the and it was followed by a wrong prognosis was condemned as without proper and its life was to be the short life of all scientific errors They knew as medical men what their feelings would be if a patient whom they and their colleagues had pronounced to be moribund persisted in living on year after year against all rule and precedent They would feel that he was making a great and that if he were not already a ghost he ought to be Their presence that day virtually an indictment of the profession for its neglect of a principle of treatment which belonged to legitimate which had been always re- as a part of its honoured and which had at alJ times found expression iu circumstances of actual from the time of Hippocrates downwards It had been left to under so much to sustain in to carry and to develop in these days that principle which rightly belonged to medicine as a for which services they had been relegated to a sectional from they did not knowing that they were sustained by a truth that sooner or later must be generally admitted Re attributed much of the opposition they met with to pure of their doctrines and and of medical history in general Their allopathic friends must look outside their own which kept them quite in the if they were to learo anything about pathy After a long defence of homoeopathy and a humorous and interesting criticism of the attitude of its the president concluded with an summary of the chief points of his address lie held that homoeopathy as a principle was as old as and equally belonged to the science and art of that Hahnemann did for homoeopathy what Darwin did for organic he established it ou an unshaken introduced law and order into and by his own enormous industry and self-denial rendered it workable and valuable for the treatment of a wide range of aud that besides being largely represented by avowed believers in had accomplished a great revolution in general both in its theory aud and that its mission was not yet completed It had its own further development to work aud further victories to achieve in the profession at though nominally opposed to was really hah won and was only seeking some reasonable theory of the action of the dose to enable it to give them its full assent Their own efforts would be employed in divining more accurately the province of in the domain of and then it would resume the position as an integral part of the healing art from which it ought never to have been dislodged Were they to look forward to another hundred years of professional opposition The idea was hardly thinkable He would fain indulge the hope that before the century closed the two currents of thought would not be forced to flow iu separate but would have a fair opportunity of mutual without and without disadvantage When the event did as sooner or later it they had no fear for the issue They confident of their and were prepared to abide the decision that time and experience would pronounce They had no doubt when the strife of controversy was aud their principles aud practice had been fully among the honoured names of those who had advanced the art of medicine it would be admitted on all sides that there had been none more worthy of honour than that of Samuel Dr proposed a vote of thanks to Dr Proctor his interesting and eloquent paper JDr HUGHES seconded the and said that he had never seconded a vote of thanks with greater pleasure Me thought they were hardly prepared for so full picture of the present state of homoeopathic controversy as the president had drawn for them The motion was very cordially adopted JAMES of read a which was followed by a on therapy and Jts to The members of the congress were entertained luncheon and at afternoon tea at the Imperial hotel by the Western Counties Therapeutical Society When the meeting was it was decided to hold the next congress in London Dr Eubulus of was elected president Tho said that Dr Williams well deserved the OR account of his lengthened services to homoeopathy and his able service to homoeopathic both now and in former times Dr EUBULUS who was warmly returned thanks for tlic honour conferred upon him Other officers were including Dr as Dr Dyes again as general hon aud Dr Madden again as treasurer Dr Kobertson of read a paper on Tuberculosis of the Abdomen in Children and Dr of a paper on The Use of High Potencies in the of the The papers were followed by discussions Tbe members then took a drive round the and in the evening at the Imperial hotel for dinner Dr Proctor and among the were several ladies The gave the toast of The Queen and the Royal in loyal and it was drunk with enthusiasm The PRESIDENT then proposed Memory of and said they were proud to be con- as followers oi that great mail In the course of medical history they would find that different ideas predominated in different and it had often been a question what would bo the medicine of the future Of all tiie medicines that had a chance of surviving he should be inclined to back dozen little and the like He thought that in floating down tho river of time these medicines had the best of reaching remote posterity and for these medicines they were indebted to Hahnemann The great mind of Hahnemann he be adequately appreciated as time went on Even within a hundred they were hardly far enough removed from him to be able to take his exact altitude among other minds It might require two or three hundred years before they would be able adequately to appreciate his elevation among the other great names of medical history He might use the expression he by one of their Dr in his account of that he struck the orb of medicine a blow with his own right and sent it revolving for ever after in a new orbit Their surviving during the first century was of good They would survive the second for the bulk of opposition came on a new party from the first The toast was in silence Dr posed and iu felicitous terms Dr WILDE and spoke of the enormous amount of geod literature turned out by homoeopathic school Dr proposed to and said it was a toast that they would drink verv for they remembered that they were only children in Liverpool when Bristol was a flourishing city Probably Bristol would again and put Liverpool again into the background for he understood that some Liverpool shippers were going to send some of their ships to Bristol The intervening with some humorous remarks before the toast was referred to the as that of Prosperity to and down with The Kev J GK responded He said that it seemed to him to be somewhat sarcastic that the toast of Prosperity to Bristol should be proposed by and spoken to by Liverpool gentlemen But the toast should be that of continued prosperity to for it must not be assumed that Bristol had no He thought they ought to know though Liverpool and other places had far passed her as a Bristol had by no means gone back She had steadily increased in size and in She was more important now as a port than ever before There was a day when she stood second to Uie though she stood far behind that position her trade was far smaller then than now They in Bristol were not so of another port in the United Kingdom as to with anything but prosperity to Liverpool They could of compare the little muddy river with its bridge across it 300 feet to the splendid Mersey with its tunnel underneath it the rev gentleman said he had been a patient for Other toasts followed FOR A the present says a there is an exceptionally good demand for small farms in and for a farm at near

favoured the Festival Threatened storms kept the heavy clouds that obscured the sky in the early morning passed and just before noon the sun broke the dense mass of vapour and shone at intervals during the day If all the seats in the Cathedral were not filled this the attendance so far as appearances to be satisfactory It was courageous on the part Of the Festival authorities to put into their scheme Beethoven's colossal Mass in with which the service because of its stupendous difficulties But Mr Sinclair will attempt any thing if be given a fact that redounds to his but one is inclined to think sometimes that the results hardly justify the enormous labour involved I have vividly in mind the hard and constant rehearsals members of the Bristol Festival choir seventeen years ago attended to study the work for performance in and the further time spent upon it prior to the representation of it at the fourth Festival two years Madame Madame Messrs Lloyd and R Hilton were the A bold effort was made on each occasion to adequately interpret the but not with complete success after all that toil Mr Sinclair wisely put the Mass in hand a long time and pegging away at the best method to ensure success The difficulties are enormous who bad little regard to the human wrote it when at the zenith of his third period Almost every legitimate means for securing effect is em- ployed in the structure of the work The ingenuity of the author seems boundless The four-part chorus and the quartet arc interwoven in the most elaborate and there are tine instrumental colouring and magnificent contrapuntal effects The strained to their utmost are left there for several and the whole work abounds with passion and although devotional feeling is not being particularly displayed in the lovely The Mass consists of six principal and Agnus further subdivided Beethoven entered upon his task at the close of and did not complete it until thus occupying far nioro time with the composition of the Mass than originally as the production was intended for iwc at the installation of the Archduke to the Archbishopric of which was fixed for 1820 The and Agnus Dei heard at a concert

heard until when the late Sir Joseph Hornby's choir did it at one of their orchestral concerts Singers in this country have not the same chance of sustaining the high notes as those on the as the pitch is higher The Austrian which was in the master's mind when he wrote the is fully halt a tone below the English Mr was justified in having the Mass performed half a tone he relieved sowie of the immense strain put on the and lessened thy risk of failure through voices giving way The late Sir Charles Halle showed a surprising amount of wisdom in having the for the wood and brass wiad transposed halt a and these were used to-day My fears regarding the the rehearsal ot the have not been realised All things con- it must be candidly confessed that Mr Sinclair's body of vocalists achieved a veritable which must redound to their lasting honour and praise The immense amount labour and zeal devoted to the study of Uie Mass only those irom are familiar with the enormous difficulties and innumerable pitfalls can and from those who Lave gone through the mill the heartiest sympathy and indulgence were accorded to the members of the Choirs united in the portrayal oi the majestic work They approached their with zeal and and it loyally and laudably To say every point was would be too but having carefully followed the ance with the aid of a copy ot the 1 can say that the blemishes were surprisingly and the points of merit surprisingly numerous The leads were generally taken up with strength and certainty by every section oi the release always clean the runa were on the whole sung with ness and and Uie ma iking of light and the observance oi the many marks of and the sudden contrasts of forte and piano were grand there were s ia and places where the highest degree of excellence reached in some parts of the work was not main- is it passible to secure an even performance throughout r But setting these things the performance was far above the and was a grand one for tlie choir To my the finest example of the and precision of the body of voices was the Gloria iu the antithesis being Jit where some less a in power were in other places there were apparently slight which one was scarcely able to precisely to the superabundant vigour of band Mwa Hilda and Mr Watkin Mills were the the best of dis- charged their exacting duties with and altogether in a manner becoming their high reputation Although the members of the orchestra were watchful and and are deserving of personally I think their ance iu every respect satisfactory The transposition of the parts for the wood and brass wind increases the difficulty oi playing some and to this fact may be attributed some of the occasional imperfect intonation and a few slips Looking beyond the minor the performance was pleasurable surprising to a and beyond the level of excellence looked under the circumstances Beethoven's Mass in D will always stand the works the exceptional of which call forth ail the resources of an exceptional body of singers For the courage of the attempt and the measure of success Surely all concerned in the performance of the mass must have felt thankful when the exacting task of rendering it was over and the hour's interval had come For a considerable time after the assembly the voices were given a further rest while Symphony in B minor opus called the was performed for the first time in an English Cathedral It is no use to find fault with names in these modern days of musical hence the work being called a symphony it must be KO although perhaps it may be described as an orchestral fantasia It departs widely from the lines of the symphony laid down by Haydn arid but as other modern while not adhering to original retain Tschaikowsky is entitled to claim the same liberty At the present moment the work is most particularly in the concert halls of London it was first performed in this country at a harmonic concert in and so great was its success that subsequent representations quickly followed The music is the quintessence of sublime and and its intensity of ite wealth of feeling and its deep and its originality and freshness captivate all who hear it Briefly let it be said that the representation of the symphony justified the care spent upon its tion Mr Sinclair appeared to have well studied the and almost to have committed it to memory He directed the performance with a confidence that came from and obtained the results he desired from the executants To fill out the scheme the first parb of Haydn's was therein inserted I am generally disposed to grumble with the length of the programmes at Musical which are generally even if the pabulum is good but 1 am yet disposed to inveigh the custom of but a section of Haydn's delightful not only on the ground of but also because the omitted portions contain gems which it is a pity to omit The oratorio has always been a favourite with the audiences of the Three Choirs It was given at Worcester in at Hereford in at Gloucester in again at Worcester in Uie following and has been brought forward wholly or in part at many subsequent ings No one can tell how frequently it has been heard in Bristol The music lacks some of the which have won favour for some modern yet it has qualities not to be found in any of the productions of recent timed The composition cf the oratorio was a delightful task to the and every contains overflowing with ful and telling how ardent the author was in making his art serviceable for singing of the power anci goodness cf Madame Mr and Mr Watkin who were entrusted with the solos this gave their best in inter- the and ever fresh music Upon their doings and those of the choir and band it is to dwell Sucb ward music afforded no cause for and j with few exceptions all went well as it I may after speaking so favourably of the it must be confessed that the rates of movement adopted by the conductor were open to question Mr George was among the few Bristol folk at the morning service The Kede nipt ion of Gounod constituted the programme for the will re- member that it was given at our Festivals in 1882 and and at an intermediate concert in and that it was performed by the Bristol Choral under the direction of Mr in March last year The Trilogy has been the round of the Festivals of the including those of the Three

contains some of the most lovely music ever penned The famous trench master had a well-conceived plan when he commenced to note down his thoughts about the solemn subject He explains that the work is a lyrical setting of three great facts on which depend the existence of the Christian Church passion and death of the His life on earth from His re- surrection to His ascension and the spread of Christianity by the Apostles These which form the are preceded by a prologue on the the fall of our and the promise of a Redeemer Amateurs of Bristol know that the score ia full of and teems with the spirit which is essential foi the inspi ration of a great master when he gives up to the illustration of a cherished theme It if to the devoutness of the composer and to his power ot expressing hia deepest feeling that the attention of the hearer must be directed for a really sympathetic of Gounod's music All the essentials of a good performance were forthcoming this ing The chief solo parts
