evening was largely attended by very select
and appreciative audience, and was deserved
compliment tn the beneficiary, Mrs. G. P.
Thompson. The programme was, perhaps,
longer ttan was necessary, but nono too Ling to
satisfy the ahdieuce to display the capa-
bi:ities of those who participated. Mrs.
Thompson and Mrs. Morris Lamprey were the
favorltes of he evening, and their selections
received the heartiest applause, although the
other artists received their full need of APP
proval. All of them were in excellent voice,
and performed their parts with good taste
and effect One of the most effective numbers
of the evening was the beautiful trio, Ave
Maria" executed by Madames Knox and
Thompson and MIR. Leib, which was listened to
with wrapt attention and received enthusiastic
applause. Miss Rice, in both her piano and
organ solos. proved herself thorough artist,
and won much praise. As whole the concert
was one of the most enjoyable of the season,
and we trust the participants may be induced
to favor the public with a repetition of its
numbers at no distant day.
