LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


for the season of 1879 so at the Congresa.
tional Church last evening to a fair-sized audi
ence-one not commensurate in numbers with
the merits of the entertainment and the eff.
forts Of the Society to cultivate local talent.
The programme, which has already been
given, was carried out under the supervision
of j. V. Cheney as director, with Mrs.
Thomas H. Berl1ey as pianist. The solo
lists were Mrs. G. w. Cooley, who gave
" Weary" by Gabriel, and on re-
call sang. quantity humorous ballad ;
Mrs. DsYoe, who sang ''The Rose Bush, by
L. IL. Hodges. and responded TO an encore
with pathetic selection; Mrs. Fitch who
sang Ira La La" by Gordigiani, and on
being recalled gave Ruby" by Gabriel
Mrs. DeYoe and Messrs. Crandall, Freeman
and DeYoe sang Sulliven's part song, ''The
Long Day Closes;' Mrs. Edward Cadwala-

Come with he, by Campana, and declined
an encore Mrs. Fitch, Mr. Grove and Mr..
Bien lead the chorus with the trio, ''Behold
on High He Mounts, from Haydn's familiar
oratorio; Messrs. Crandall, Putnam, Nc
Neil and freeman sang Becker's company
March, and in response to an encore gave
Ills Love who Guides the Way"
The numbers taken by the chorus
were mainly madrigals of the olden
time. They were sung with degree of ac-
curacy very creditable to the organization,
but evidently the audience deemed them
hardly equal to the capacity of the society,
as their intricacies and difficulties are not
patent. The programme had throughout an
apparently sombre shading and lacked in
energy and vivacity. due not to q lack of
effort on the part OF the forty singers but to the
fact that 'madrigsls, glees and ballets
of Morley, Stevens and writers of the pas
toral songs of three centuries ago, have not
been often produced here, and their
quaint melodies are comparatively I'M
familiar The best efforts eff the society were
heard in the part song, Stars of Summer
Night" and in the selection from Haydn

healthy advance in local music culture, and
probably the Society, which has been some

in public estimation as to be deemed per-
