The CauKcn CONCERT Last NIGHr.-
The first of the two grand Organ and No-
cal Concerts to be given in aid of the bull
ding fund of the new Episcopal church,
took place in that edItoe last night, and
attracted rs it deserved, an appraciative
audience The artists were Mr.. i. Will
cox. the -enowned organist Of Boston,
whose name and fame are patent throughout
the New England states, as the most az
complished performer On that instrument,
and one of the most profound musicians;
Mr. Powers, also of Of Boston, who pos
sesses a superb baritone voice which gives
evidence of high cultivation, and who
sings with great taste, feeling aud expires
sion; aided by Miss l.. Gaskill, who Kind
ly volunteered her services for the occa-
sion, Rutland may almost be- sand tC
claim Miss Gaskill, so intimately is She
connected with it by social ties, although
her artistic efforts are now confined to New
York, where she has an established repu
tation as a leading church singer and con
cert artistic. The purity of her voice, it,
thoroughly sympathetic quality and per
~ oil
markable, but in theinterval that has elaps
ed since last she was heard in Rutland, he
improvement has been SO rapid and marx
ed as to merit especial notice. Her voice
has acquired jncreasedSvOume, power am
rounduess of tone, particularly III it, up
per and lower register, while 1t retains al
its freshness and brilliancy She sings il
the best modern Italian school, and hen
method is irreproachable. In sacred mu-
sic she appears to the greatest advantage
from the even smo0thnes5 of her style O
singing and the truly sympathetic quail
| tv of her yocaization which has the ef.
feet Of carrying her auditors with her anC
claiming their attention. 1t IS needless t.
say Miss Gaskill received a cordial recog-
milton on her appearance, as did also Mr.
Wilcox and Mr.. Powers.
The programme was rich and varied
one commencing with prelude and fugut
of Kinks superbly played 10y Mr.. Wilcox
who exhibited his perfect mastery of tina
that noblest of Instruments, the organ
which he follow ed with OffertoIr
of Wely's IN 6, to which he rendered tn
most ample justice. Donlzetti's char
ming duet, ;, l. Addio," was sung b.
| Miss GasilIli and Mr.. Powers in the mos
admirable style, their voices blending s.
perfectly that it seemed but one, The eX
Cution Of this duet was received with wei
merted applause This was followed b.
a charming pastorale for the organ, an
Auber's overture to "Zanetta.n Mr. Pow
ers next sang the grand aria "Pieta Sign
ORE Flotow's " Stradella,n in fine style
| diplayin z his admirable voice to the bes
advantage as we'll as his excellent voca
method. Mr.. Wllcox's improvisation o
the organ, which ensued, was masterl
performance Then came the vocal ger
Of the evening, viz,-Miss Gasskill's rem
dition of the sacred song of" Ruth an
Naomi" which she sang with exquist
taste, and great pathos, yet with such elias
| sic purity of style as to satisfy the mo:
severely critical Of judges. An enthusia,
tic eocore ensued, when she gave the beau
tiful and popular ballad, Thou art S
near and yet so far, which narrowly {.
capped a similar compliment. Mr.. Power
| gave Pischek's famous song of" The star
dard bearer in fine style, which wa
eacored; he sang Father | trust in the,
The coucrt concluded with the Gran,
