The MUSICAL CoNvENTIoN.-The
Musical Convention, under the auspices
of the Coventry Reform Club, advertised
for Tuesday and Wednesday of last
week opened rather discouragingly, ow-
ing to the thaw and other adverse Cir
cumstances but the attendance on the
first afternoon was such as to promise
success, and it was voted to continue the
convention over Thursday. An excel
lent interest was created and maintained
from the beginning, and the chorus in
creased until the stage room was all &C.
cupied. Mr.. White proved to be re
markably we'll adapted to the position
of leader, and the pianist, Miss Adams
presided at the instrument with univers
al satisfaction. The concerts were very
fully attended, and from the applause
and encores, we judge them to have beer
very satisfactory. Ample and generous
accommodations were afforded among tn,
homes of the citizens, and the conven
ton was general success. During tn
last evening, the committee or resolu
tions made their report, which was &C
cepted and adopted with a request tina
the resolutions and the remarks of tn
president to be published. The com
mittee reported substantially as follows

Beadle, MIR. A. r. Cowles; and Mis-
Rose. daughter of J. G. Elder of Derby
who has enlivened the social hour an
concerts. Messrs. Elder and Robbins
and Miss M'Kenzie of Derby, deserv
special mention for valuable assistanc
during the convention. Your committee
believing that talent for music j
among the best gifts bestowed by benet
icent Creator, and that it should be bot
duty and privilege to develope an
cultivate this talent, we, therefore, rec
ommend as among the best means fc
this purpose, the frequent assemblin
together in conventions, like the present
and so far as this most agreeable meet
ing is concerned, we resolve:
LIST. That all things considered, TIL

cess in numbers, usefulness and financi;
profit.
I'd. That we find in G. L. White, OF
conductor, talent for directing CONVEX
items that should no longer remain latent
and that we believe him fully competer
to direct any convention that may

3D.. That we regard the maiden effo
of Miss Minnie Adams as worthy of Il
highest commendation. Nor would v
omit the name of Master Willie Trl
who has so ably assisted her.

efficient and able committee who ha,
so successfully managed the affairs
the Convention.

from other localities, we desire to tend
