Those engaged is sufficient guarantee Of
the success of the piece.
Next song Waiting" by Miss Camp
bell of Poultney.
This lady has been among us before
and always acquits herself with credit,
and certainly this was not an exception,
for she sang with great feeling and ex-
ecuted finely.
Next was duet, teacher and pupil, by
Mrs. Hall and Mr. Perkins.
Mr.. Perkins proved a good teacher
and Mrs. Hall very apt scholar. This
is popular duet and we never heard it
better rendered than last evening.
An immense applause followed when
part of the same duet was repeated.
The song my Happy Home" sung by
Mrs. w. N. Oliver was finely rendered
eliciting rounds ofapplause. Although this
lady has frequently appeared before q
Rutland audience, she is great favorite,
always welcome, ne matter how often she
appears. Mr.. J. P. Cobb finely rendered
the song "Alice Where Art Thou" which
being encored, the audience not being sat
isfied without hearing one of his side
splitting humorous songs, he replied by
singing GA Trip to Niagara Falls" which
brought down the house with roars of
laughter and applause.
The first grand concert this evening
promises to be a frst-clsss miscellaneous
selection when the entire solo talent of
the convention will be brought forward,
and anyone who heard J. P. Cobb in the
social hour last evening will not fail of
being present and feel amply repaid for
both time and expense. Reserved seat
