'The Evening Rise'
Fly Fishing on the Test
A Descriptive Commentary broadcast from the River Bank near Romsey Here is rather more than a sports talk-listeners are to hear not only an angler and an observer talking together while the former casts a May-fly to catch a trout, but they will be able to visualise the peaceful atmosphere of a summer evening on the Test, and hear birds, the flow of the water, the lowing of a cow, the sound of the reel. Here' is something to appeal both to anglers and to lovers of the country.

STUART ROBERTSON , CHORUS, AND ORCHESTRA
Thomas Wood 's choral work 'Merchantmen' was written in Essex and partly at sea in the North Atlantic on the way to Newfoundland and back again. The words of all five movements are by the composer with the exception of No. 3, ' Frankie's Trade ', which is taken from Rudyard Kipling 's ' Rewards and Fairies '. ' Roll and Go ' is an anchor song, technically correct ; ' Skerryvore ' is descriptive of a lonely rock off the Scottish coast. ' The Coral Sea ' is a personal recollection of sailing there and is inscribed ' In happy memory of I47°E. i8"S. and the men I sailed with and the ship we sailed in, through the Barrier and into the Pacific, January, 1932.' ' Waddle-0, a Frolic' is a variant of the North Country legend which tells how a seaman left the sea to follow the plough and regretted it.
