MIDDLEsEx.-N No audience here was ever better
entertained than the one assembled at the church
last Saturday evening to listen to the select read
ings of G. F. Kenaston Of Toledo Ohio. The
Stiffness the attention, and the laughter attested
the appreciation Of the audience. His selections
were irdn such authors as Longfellow, Carlton
Holmes, Trowbridge, and Ethel Lynn The BLACK
smiths Story" and the "Creeds Of the Bells"
were finely rendered. It was evidently not his
purpose to afford mere amusement, although
laughter often arose, but to show how difficult
pieces should be read. We hope to hear him
again. Mr.. win Holden, Mrs. Kenaston and Miss
Anna Ward sung some fine selections.
