'The golden hoof' by J. F. H. Thomas and A. G. Street
In a recent speech at Dorchester the Minister of Agriculture made a significant reference to the connection between an arable flock of sheep and the fertility of our light lands. A. G. Street has also championed the cause of the down-land flock and, like J. F. H. Thomas , was brought up in the Hampshire Downs tradition. The latter, until he commenced farming on his own account just before the war, was Vice-Principal of the Royal Agricultural College at Cirencester and acknowledged at the time to be a high authority on sheep matters...

Introduction and Allegro for string quartet and string orchestra.....Elgar La mer (The sea) Three symphonic sketches: From dawn to noon at sea ; Play of the waves ; and Dialogue of the wind and the sea
Debussy
Elgar's Introduction and Allegro was composed in January- February, 1905. It owed its origin to the hearing of a song, with a particularly attractive cadence of a falling third, sung in the distance on an occasion when Elgar was in Wales. Later a song heard in the Wye valley recalled his Welsh experience with the result that he set to work on this Introduction and Allegro, the principal tune of which is a pseudo-Welsh tune of his own invention, complete with the cadence of a falling third.
Address by the Rev. Maldwyn Edwards , Ph.D.
by Stephen Potter ,.with Betty Hardy as Mrs. S. T. Coleridge
Other characters appearing in the programme are : S. T. Coleridge , her husband ; Sara Hopkinson , her daughter ; William Wordsworth , Dorothy Wordsworth ,
Robert Southey , and Mr. Poole Stephen Potter 's connection with Coleridge belongs to "his pre-war days, when he specialised on the Romantics, and on Coleridge in particular. There came his way a bundle of Mrs. Coleridge's letters to a friend. These were printed under the title of ' Minnow among Tritons '—a rather pathetic book, which is the subject of this production.
