The concert opened with all singing
Coronation. y AfiSsId Todd then took he!
seat unaffectedly at the piano, and treated
the audience TO- collections Of Home.
Her playing exhibited ability. the lief
hand in particular doing It's difficult par
with expressive precision. Thena .Soca

Howell, called distant Chimes" wai
sweetly rendered. ~
Miss Rose Pool then sang "Stars the
Night Adornines' her yocakkation being
very fine; only that those present deserved
more OF her attention, and the sheet oil
music less. The duet between MISC Pat;
terson and Mr. Clark gave pleasan;
variety TO the programme. As teacher
and scholar they carried Us back 70 school
days, when our "a, j, G" was the hardest
thing we eyer learned. = TfT. -

As Bridgeport people have ever shown
themselves friendly, we wish Miss Hols

a couple OF the other performers, could
be induced to be heard this side OF The

There was but one male duet, the eLar-

ness. The receipts are estimated at $40,
which VIII make at least d part Of the re-
pairs, which Rev. Smith 50 much desires.
