How THEY DisTisOuIsnED THEN.
sELvEs.--The best and most successful
concert ever given In Bellefonte WIS that
Of Thursday evening last in Reynolds
Hall, by Mrs. Love and her intelligent
pupils. An immense crowd gathered in
the Hall u full hour previous to the open
ing Of the entertainment, and from then
until eight o'clock the ruth for tho best
seats was continued. ChairA were brought
into the aisles and extra seats placed in
every available situation. Surrounding the
stage were enough plants and flowers u

the best that could bc collected In Belle.
fonte and Lock Haven. Pots of glorious
lilics and gerhniuns, bouquets of ferns and
flowers, canary birds that whrbled An ac-
compartment 10 the music, and vase Of
gold hshea swung in air made the stage an
enchanted bower. Two Of Cbickerings'
uprighu from tho warerooms Of Bunncll &
Aikens were placed ht either end Of the
stage. A full orchestra completed Nil that
could be desired in truly recheyche enter
tainment.
The opening chorus, "T.et the Hills and
Wales Rcsound," was magnificent, and
caused the Hall itself % rcsound with the
glorious notes Of the opening piece. The
instrumental Qusrtctte, "Grsnd March de
Concert" evidenced that the ladies who
executed IL were contributing their part in
the Grand March" of Music in its onward
course toward perfection. Mise Nictoriuc
Lyon, daughter Of our Jewish merchant,
followed with lovely fOng, we'll rendered,
entitled "The Lover and the Bird. " Mis-
Nictorine has received musical instruction
for only one year, and has already reached
great proficiency. She may rect assured
that there were many Of her "loyers" In
the audience. "Whispcrs from Erin" was
the title Of q piano solo by Miss Mary
CriiteHdcn, and II all her whispers are

IN comparison 20 the beautiful appearance

and the manner in which /, was rendered
gave honor 70 the subject that inspired the
song. The tableau and German song,
"Schwsi,zer Hcimweh, " afforded Mics RS
Ina Graucr an opportunity 10 exhibit her
mcloiiDus voice aud assume Il most pic
turcsquo attitude, but then 1t would be i'm
possible for Miss R1fina 20 strike any a.
iitude in which she would not form an A.
tractive picture. The 'prightlincss with
which "Annsn Polka En ingtrumeniAl
duo, wAa readored by Miss Elic Green and
Mrs. Love drew forth great applause from
the spprccistvc audience. Then Mi,s RoS-
showed IN song and by action how they

the yigor with which they padded"
cAused Us congrstulAtion that we are not
the "cAnoe." And T. little siI-year old
girl, Mis Lille Aikens, In = song and
tsblcAu entitled "Lullaby," showed how
a sweet old grandmother Iwings the cradle,
in which large wsI doll was placed for
the occasion. "Oh 20 be baby again, just

provided we could be rocked 20 sleep by
such a charming grandmother. Perhaps
the best performed instrumental compost.
iion Of tho evening was that sublime trio
Of Czerneys entitled Overture Tancreii,''
by Misses Lyon and Green and Mrs. Love.
A rich quartette Of voiccs-Mrs. Brachbill,

indeed II they can continue making just
such deligbtful music as was given in this
sweet song. This finished the Grs, part
with the exception Of An instrumental solo,
performed by request by Mise Victorinc
Lyon, entitled "Rivcre Romantic"
Part seoold opened with selection from
"PinAfurc," IN which Master Walter
Lambkcy was Commander Of the Queens

have been selected than Master Wslicr.
