The Amateur Concert given at
,,demy Hall,St. Adams, on the even
|. II February Sth, in compliment
1 NJ, G.. W. Rydcr,by his pupils, was
.,,onded by a large and delighted au-
xeuce. Tho programme consisted Of
4 rrsos from the works of Bishop,
I, oneras of Rossini Bellini, Flotow
!, Ciounod and from the oratorios of
j ordcl and Mendelssohn, and of solos
kOm such popular Composers as
rr;ght Glover, Haas, Balfe and Gil
.Orc-the whole forming choicor Sc
kction of superior music than was ev-
Il presented by any amateurs at any
rcyious concert in st. Adams.
q on the manner in which these cho-
Z COS and solos were sung we have no
mace to speak at length or even in
oh terms of commentator as they
xstly merit. Suffice it to say that
lev indicated high order of musical
klent thorough study and practice
IA voices cultivated with great pains
hi skill by Mr. Ryder for the execu-
q p Of difficult and classical music.
~ concert was creditable alike to
kacher and pupils. 1t seryeb to in
|~ease the universal regret that Mr..
pyder finds that his interest requires
'hs removal to larger place for the
Exercise Of his talents as teacher
ban any that Vermont affords, Mr..
d A. Ravens presided at the piano
Iand played the accomplishments with
his customary skill. Two very beau
Blu pieces, not upon the programme,
sere played by him to the great graf
ifcation Of the audience. Messrs.
8ydor and Ravens are about TO leave
10 Adams and the concert just given
81 probably, the last amateur con-
or that will be given here for long
Gme. In view of the fact that so
nuch musical talent obtains III our
Hidst, We trust every effort will be
nade to develop it and make il ayaila-
E at least in onr several places of
Nprship set apart for prayer and
raise.
