MUSIC.

Throughout the term, Mr. Sykes has kindly continued to give us a series of Organ Recitals after Evensong on Sundays. This system was instituted a few terms ago, and has proved quite popular During the first half of the term, Mr. Sykes concentrated, on playing Handel, and each programme contained at least one of his works. Perhaps the best and most popular of these was the Organ Concerto in B flat. Later, however, he played mainly Christmas music, consisting of Pastorales and Fantasias on Carols.

On the last Sunday of term we had the usual Carol Service, which was well attended. The singing was very good, and the choir are to be congratulated on the high standard attained.

The service paper is reproduced to show the order of the service and the carols sung. ST. PETER'S SCHOOL CHAPEL. CAROL SERVICE.
