The singing by the glee club was excellent, the
voices harmonizng we'll. We shall hope to hear
more Of it at future concerts. b t RIA
The performances by the full band were of the
usual high order Of excellence. We think great
credit is due to Mr.. Arbuckle, their accomplished
leader for the sterling music which he brings out
in so fine manner-so different from the NOISY,

We were glad to see the request to abstain from
boisterous applause so cheerfully complied with,
and we hope it will be borne in mind at future

Edwin P. Whipple in lecture on "Young

and with the warm approval OF the audience,
aladed to senator sumner:
can eminent countryman, who carried the
philanthropy of Charming into the tempest
of politics who has astonished politicians
by sagacity which was the only exer-
else of singleness of aim and innocence of
heart; who has made genius and erudtion
tributary to the primal truths of conscience
whose successive steps to eminence have been
by measures which trained politicians ridicul-
ed as ruinous blunders who has startled
Senates from their decorum, and provoked
liberucides into rufiianism, by brave and
burning words, which but embodied aspira
tons native to youthful enthusiasm and prin-
ciples, not for the first time sprinkled with
the generous blood that urged their utterance,
and who, after the din of Contemporary politi-
cal contentious has subsidized, and his speeches
have become events, will appear in history as
Charles Sumner, the statesman philanthrop-
ist."
