The thorough and artistic execution Of these
pupils repect the hig hes credit on the ability
and zeal of Professor Turner. The vocal, brass
band and orchestral portions of the programme
were rendered with admirable ease and graceful
ness of execution, and it evidences more than
superficial training to witness the performers
exchanging with perfect facility and ease the
different instruments throughout their varied
performances. Miss Ridenours voice is one Of
surprising sweetness and fexibility, and bespeaks
thorough cultivation. Her rec ,ptions here are
always enthusiastic, and at the close of one Of
her pieces beautiful wreath, presented by an
appreciative member of the audience, was com
mitted to Mr. Breckenridge, the courteous and
efficient master OF ceremonies, who, mounting
the stand, conferred il in his usual graceful and
inimtable style.
The ever popular trio of 'sThe social Glass, "
with Governor as ssheavy basso," met with
the accustomed sbravssimo" and encore while
the dismal lamentations of that hopeless swain
f.who saw Esau kissing Kate" didn't touch a re-
sponsive cf ord, for the audience were in parox-
isms Of laughter during the whole nournful re
cital. Governor and Toby are bright twin lumi
naries in our musical constellation, and have
quite firm hold on the esteem and admiration
of all who have been permitted to enjoy these
refreshing and enlivcning episodes in our sum
mer existence.
The perfect order and system in the arrange
ment Of the parts the absence Of all delay ant
and the taste and elegance displayed in the stage
decorations, all reflect credit on the administra
tive ability and judgment of the managers.
