COVENTRY MUSICAL AssoCIAToN.-
A convention under this association
directed by S. P. Pinney of Greenboro,
was held at Coventry commencing on
Tuesday and closing on Thursday even
ing of last week with concert. The
attendance was not large the first day,
but increased until the singers number
ed about one hundred. making large
and powerful chorus. The "social hours"
on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons
was made very pleasing by Carrie Prin-
die, Mrs. Beedle, Mrs. McVicar of Lyn-
donville and others, who were present
to enliven the occasion. Piano solos
were rendered by Miss Webster of Bar
ton Landing, Miss Florence Parker of
Newport and Miss Adams of Derby
which were very excellent. A duet by
Mr.. Darling and Mrs. Miller was one
of the finest efforts of the convention.
A. G. Parker and J. G. Elder were pre-
sent to do the comical singing, and they
beat themselves. The house was crowd
ed on the night of the concert and the
convention was a success throughout.
The proceeds which were used for the
benefit of the Congregational church,
amounted to $50. A set of very com,
plimentary resolutions, were presented
by Rev. w. G. Somerville, chairman of
the committee, which we are compelled
to omit on account of their great length,
and the late hour at which they were
received. The convention dispersed in
the best of feeling, and everybody felt
that the time had been proftably as we'll
as pleasantly spent.
