lar song " Auld Lang Syne," which was
well rendered. The Worldlye Songe

A slight cold prevented the rendering OF
the ballad, "Mary of Argyle" in the man
ner in which DIR. Miles Attwoden, IS.
Tromblee," is capable OF doing.
The solo in ''Sound the Loud Timbrel,
sang by Mrs. Hicock, showed her to be 4
first class singer, and the chorus to the
same was well done.

appeared to suit the audience the best of
anything. So much so that it was hOnored
with an encore Prof Barrett has a deep
mellow voice and took the principal part.
The Worldlye Song, by Dorothy Quacl-
enbush, Miss Mary Treadway, was finely
sung in clear sweet voice, which will he
improved by practice.
The Worldlye selection, "The Twilight
is Fast Descending" by the male quaEteite
mentioned above was deserving of much
praise, as are all the persons who have
taken part in arranging the concert, and
to Mr.. Tromblee the originator and con,
ductor of it, your reporter is under great
obligations for favors shown.
, Before closing, must mention the skill
ful playing on the organ, by Miss Katie

ment a success.
