scriptive song, by Miss Bidwell; duet, by
MIR. and Mrs. Rademacher; waltz song, by
Miss Briggs bass solo, by r. H. Auerbaclf;
trio, by Miss Briggs, Mrs Rademacher and
Miss Bidwell. Miss Sallie v Moore was the
accompanist of the evening. The selections
were from Hoffman,, Gustav Luther, Mat
tel, Handel, Pinsuti, Campana, TORY,
Broad and Bishop. The entertainment was
gratifying success, and creditable alike to
pupils and master. The voices were heard
for the first time in public concert, and an
analysis OF the qualities would show none poor
among them. and all full of promise The
singing was all marked by expressiveness, and
evidenced careful attention to detail and to
the thought of the themes undertaken. Mr..
Auerbach has a bass voice of dramatic quail
lty, broad compass and much power Miss
Briggs, soprano of .delicacy of expression
and much tiexibility; Miss Bidwell, fresh,
strong and sympathetic contralto Mr.. Rade-
macher, smooth, flexible bass Mrs Rade-
macher, mezzo-soprano of good quality
and DIR. Wood, very pleasing, though not
strong voice. All these voices, it is fair to
assume, will before long be more prominent
in amateur home musical entertainments.
