The programme was well selected, as is
seen at glance, and could not fail to salts.
fly the. most fastidious as to variety and
pleasing effect. The choruscs were mostly
conducted by Mr. Mietzke, one or two being
under the excellent leadership of Mr.. Bar
ker. AS a whole they were rendered in a
manner highly satisfactory to the audience.
The chorus TO thee, oh country" by
Eichberg. was especially effective in its ex-
ecution by the class. The soprano are ex-
celent, the alto trifM wavering anil un-
even, the BASES and tenors exceptionally
good.
Nine. De Ryther sang finely at each APP
pearance during the evening, and was very
cordially received. She seems to have
gained power end volume of tone since her
appearance in Rutland at the festival. Her
voice is full and rich and at almost perfect
command. At this concert there was no
particular opportunity given for a good test
of the powerful qualities of her voice, but
she gave unbounded satisfaction in both
solos sung.
Mr.. Phillips OF Burlington made his de-
Jut before the convention in the exquisite
ballad "The snow lies white" by McFar-
land. The composition is simple, but its
peculiar qualities of melody were brought
out in very taking way by Mr.. Phillips
and the finish was followed by storm OF
applause. An encore was demanded and
he returned and sang another song of some
what similar character, entitled $50 shall
my darling be-" which was warmly re.
ccived also. Mr.. Phillips has very pleas
ing voice, highly cultivated aud sure to be
admired wherever heard. His singing viii
form one of the most entertaining features
of the convention during its remaining day
and evening.
The instrumental overture which wa.
played by Miss Jennie Kent and Mr.
Meitzke, is beautiful thing and its best
qualities were well brought out Miss
Kent, the daughter of d. l.. Kent, Esq.
of Dorset, is very promising musician
exhibiting fine talents in that direction
and plays with much grace and correctness
Miss Ella Earl, the musical prodigy o
Walingford, was as much at home as eve
at the piano and played splendidly. Mis-
I Ella Ryan of Rutland. one of the pianist
of the convention, elected hearty applause
by her excellent rendition of the famous
"Spnning song" upon the piano. Her &C
compartments upon the piano Throughout
the entire convention have been very salts
factory to all concerned. The charming
piano solo, "Tarantella," was performed b,
Miss Kelly very acceptably and was heart
lily received.
Mr.. Frank NJ. Davis, the baritone soloIst
won deserved need of praise from tn
audience by his first appearance, as wa
well testified by the decided encore award
ed him. He however excused himself fror
appearing a second time. His voice wa
much admired and a great desire was man
tested to hear him again. Mr.. Geo. G
Day made capital hit in his singing of tn
"Normandy Maid" and was made to II
spond to the enthusiastic applause that TO
lowed. He appeared and sang the laugl
able song of "Stephen's visit to see til
elephant" in very humorous manner
and was heartily applauded. He was
excellent voice and made a particular
good impression.
The trio song by Mr.. and Mrs. Barkt
and Mr.. Tanner, carried lis back to SON
fifteen years ago when the "Barker family
were in their glory and Travelled throug
the eastern part of Vermont to the deligl
of all the inhabitants thereof "Natt
