MUsICAL.--A very pleasant uAusrai cutCr
talnment was glveo by tho pupils OF Miss r.
Virginia Evans. on Wednesday, ught last, at
her residence. oosuer of Wolfe and st. ASaph
streets, tho OCCASION being eooial Exhibit Of
the musical progress Of the ytung ladies rior
20 their summer vacation. The performance,
generally, was uutzsepionaby creditablo 10
all. Miss Egaus has reason to feel proud OF
the talent she has to direct aod cultivate, and
the pupils TO congratulate themselves on the
proficiency aod excellent taste of their teacher.
AT the conclusion of quite au extended pro.
gramme. the young ladies disported themselves
about the grounds, enjoying cream and cake.
Then came little dance, in which some OF the
young ladies were obliged to assume the iole Ct
gentlemen, causing no little Confusion, aud 4
very enjoyable affair GANG to an eud at ses.
sonable and proper hour. A pleasant feature OF
the affair Was ;te reciprocal delight with which
each performance was received by the others,
thereby reversing the theory that II Is better to
GIVE than t. receive. vi thOs5 Who should Be
mentioned was Miss Johnston, who has full,
pure AID So sympathetic soprano voice, and her
management OF it, Tor one SO young, was quite
wonderful. We predict for her bright musl
cal career, with iudiolous and careful! direction,
which her present proficiency lo;iloaIcs sue has
thus far received. Miss Bryan plays with tho
force and accuracy almost OF professional. Jbc
difficult Instrumentation Of Socl!ralDldn was
rendered by her io most excellent style. Miss
Smytbe is carefnl a0d Conscientious perform
or, and promises that cxcelleua" Hhich ialIhtul
attention is sure TO win. Miss Corsc Isl genuine
sover Of music, ond plays 10 such stye-oIrriv
tng the lights acd shadc5-as shows her 70 BE-
aarefuls ad pa;es taking student. Miss Wclford,
probably the youngest Of the class. though not
so far advanced az some others. yer gives good
promise Of musical succeas. The pose aud ease
with which she psesides a. thr p:s"" ~aH osp@-
cially noticeable.
