The Tenth Triennial Handel Festival. Programme extends over three
days, Monday, to-day the 24th, and Friday the 26th. The singers are
Madame ALBANI, Miss MARIAN MCKENZIE, Messrs. SANTLEY, EDWARD LLOYD,
BARTON MCGUCKIN, BRIDSON, and BRERETON--the last pair seeming to come
in like the "two pretty men" of nursery history, 'yclept "ROBIN and
RICHARD." The great organ cannot be played without EYRE and bellows.
The Conductor to the musical omnibus is AUGUST MANNS, or more
appropriately, JUNE MANNS. _Motto_.--"MANNS wants but little here
below, but he wants that uncommonly good"--and more than good it is
safe to be in the hands of the Conductor whose name is indicative of
quantity and quality. _Salvete, Homines!_
