young and old. The programme indicated
the talent that was to be represented on the
occasion. and each felt lively interest il
the respective performers. TO many who
assisted in the performances the position was
new and perhaps embarrassing, but as it pre-.
crossed they entered into the spirit OF the
occasion and acquitted themselves in man.
ner that would have done credit to skilled
actors. The arrangements of the stage were
very appropriate considering the limited
space which was assigned.
Fhe concert commenced with piano duet,
"Jolly Brothers" by Miss Fridley and Mr..
Taylor, which was most beautifully executed.
Next, vocal solo, waiting" by Mrs. Will
son, was rendered in inimitable style. The
tableau, Faith, Hope and Charity" by
Misses X. Bogert, Graham and Fridley, was
superior in costumes and attitudes, and elici-
ted rounds of applause. The piano solo,
Martha" by Miss Bogert, was executed
tastefLlIy and evinced great perfection In
musical attainment. Vocal solo. Miss Crit
tenden, was melodous and sweet, and de-
cidedly accurate i'm the whole execution.
Tableau-"Croquet," Misses Morton. X. Bo-
CERT and DR.. Glazier, with solo by Mrs. Will
son, was the most successful part of the
whole performance, and received the great
est applause from the audience. Miss Nor
ton never appeared to better advantage
whilst Miss Bogert's appearance in the
branches of the pine as mother, viewing the
love scene enacted by her daughter and her
gaycavalier, was a rich scene, and convulsed
all with uproarlons laughter. Norma"
banjo solo, by Mr.. Lewis, was fine piece of
music, and well did he execute it. The au-
dience made repeated calls for Mr.. Lewis,
and he gave them several pieces that furnish
enthusiastically applauded. Tabeau-''The
Coquette," by Miss Morton and Judge Lang
horne was another success In the programme.
Miss M. was again at home and did the part
in style and effect that demonstrated that she
had acquired her tact in this performance by
much practice and rehearsal. The Judge
showed that he had, also, performed his part
frequently before. This tableau again capti-
waited the spectators, and was encored until
it had to be repeated again and again. The
piano solo, Secret Wishes by Miss Frid-
ley, had a sweetness about 1t that was felt by
all. The performer. though young, has
sweet voice, and her musical attainments are
Of high order. She did all her parts per-
Fectly and successfully, but seemed wholly |
unconscious OF their truly nleritorlous char
acter, and how greatly she was contributing
to the enjoyment of those III attendance.
Tableau, "Old Folks" Miss Bogert and Gen.
Wilson, with solo by Mrs. Wilson, was adj
nirably done, and both Miss d. and the Gen.
,ral succeeded in their respective characters,
'liciting rounds OF applause. Piano duet, by
Mrs. Perkins and Miss Crittenden, afforded
great deal of delight, and was we'll DONE
