Without wishing to be personal, we may
be permitted to say that the class, as a
whole, did well, showing great advance
mcnt upon their previous public efforts.
Those whose parts were most prominent
acquitted themselves in most creditable
manner.
Mrs Cheney, of Rutland, delighted the
audience with her charming songs. Her
voice is clear, sweet and powerful. A muir
muir of applause ran through the house as
she sang Waiting" which burst forth into
a rapturous applause.
Mrs. Holmes sang in her own bewitching
style. Her voice is, to remarkable degree,
pure, sweet and true, with great compass
and evinces careful cultivation. She war
bled so like bird in "Who's at my Win
dow" one could almost believe she caught
up the refrain of the gifted robin, which
your Benson reporter lately announced had
left the parsonage grove for its southern
home.
Misses Strong and Carter, vocal pupils of
Mrs Holmes, sang delightfully."-. MissStrong's
songs can hardly be surpassed for beauty
of expression and correctness OF version.
"Janets Choice" by Miss Carter, brought
down the house, and after perssten. en-
core, she repeated in a piquant style quite
captivating. Misses Lucy and Alma Car
ter sang their duet very sweetly. Mrs.
Foster Smith was gladly welcomed upon
the stage again. The two duets sung by
Mrs. Smith and Mrs kellogg, with Mrs.
Holmes, were both worthy of special men
ton. The young misses who presided at
the piano acquitted themselves very credit
ably. Much regret was felt at the absence
of Mrs. Wilcox, who was too i'll to be
present. Miss Minnie Geer of Ogdens-
burg, supplied her place in part at the
piano
Mrs Holmes welded the baton with
much grace and precision. She is doing
noble work in elcvating the standard of
music in this place, and her skill in organ
izing and training Is universally acknow-
lodged TO be remarkable.
