Wsadsr Lakr was in Fishamble Street Music hall, Siublin, on April 13, 1742, under irection of the composer. Ladies were requested to "refrain from wearing hoops" and gentle- Sien to "leave their swords at ome," in order that a capacity audience might swell the proceeds to relieve needy children and the inmates of debtors' prisons. "The Messiah" was given its English premiere before the court at Covent Garden in March, 1743 George II was so overpowered by the grandeur of the music portraying tte King of Kings that he sprang to his feet in reverent acclaim at the opening bars of the Hallelujah chorus, an action which led to the modern custom. . _ 0 . . „ 4 _ _ HIGHEST CASH PRICES paid for Tueeday & Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 5 pja.
