We were presert at rehearsal on
Saturday morning, and have decided
that others shall not be as much sur
priscd as ourselves on the OCCASION
We had been told that Miss Reber, q
young lady from Sandusky City, ON ex,
cellent vocalist, had volunteered to
Igiyeawhat assistance she could on
Tuesday evening, and were prepared
to hear nluchpthat wasgood.IT We wer6
not told, however, that's she was o young
girl Of fifteen that she had an extra
'ordinary power asa vocalist; that she
had been carefully trained in New York
in the most difficult operatic music, and
that in execution Of this she was con-
sidered q prodigy by those whose fame
is second to none in our country, and
so we were astonished. 0tsa i9'
Miss Reber sang to the Piano accom-
paniment of Professor Schirner, with
o total freedom from affectation, and
with1a gfrlisb earnestness thatpwpuid

But there was no need of this. Criti-

b The Statesman has the following,
after hearing Miss Rebcr on a public
occasion: ...,-.,
The second piece was the vocal solo,
rAmore, by Miss Sallie Reber. With
the exception of Miss Reber, all the
: other musical performers were of this
city. She is young lady from San.
dusky City, who bids fair to become
one ofthe most accomplished vocalists
in this country. For one so young,
she has already attained to- rare ex.
eellence in the rendition Of operate
music. She sang last night the vocal
solo already named, and two others
with exquisite taste and skill, and a
perfection of grace, intonation and
melody rarely, cqualed. 4 She lis ccr-
tainly rising star in the galaxy Of
American artistes.1 Each timed she
sang last night, she was enthusiastic
cally applauded and cncorcd.
