All the young ladies did well. Miss Cros-
thwaite Won o warm encore for her first
piece, and responded with "Mary Maloney's
Philosophy" which brought down the
house, and in response to her second encore
she reclted very touchlngly the Scotch
dialect selection, "CuddIe DOOM" The little
children were as ''cute as they could be-"
The feature OF the evening was the debut
of Miss Julia F. Gould the vocal teacher
elect of the college. Miss Gould In taking
the place of SO gifted and popular y lady as
Miss Thompson had quite q difficult ordeal
to pass, but she did it with a success which
is more than she can fully realize until she
learns how thoroughly our generous aud
sympathetic Lexington audiences come to
love a genuine artistic who is at the same
time q modest and true hearted woman.
Miss Gould Is q brunette, with flashing eyes
which seem to take the measure Of her al.
dience during the instrumental prelude to
her songs She is petite, but has that great
requisite for continued vocalizAtion, = fine
physique. She is graceful and composed In
her stage manners, seemingly at case and
sans gene. Her voice is highly cultivated, In
admirable control, full and strong. 1t is =
singular voice-hsrd to classify. While hav-
L mo tho Claar frptlp ppfoa nf tho mr., en-.
prsno, 1t has as we'll the deep, low notes Of
the contralto, and seems especially at home
in the register OF the mezzo-soprane. we
understand that the lady herself calls her
voice q meZZo-s0prano-contralto. We have
indicated above that 1t is even more than
that. Comparisons might seem lnvidious but
it is only fair to say III 1t we have never be-
fore had here q voice of such scope. We
know OF no other with which to compare 1t
so we'll as with that of ANNE Louise Carey,
who has a more distinct contralto, and who
has moro voice than any woman We ever
heard sing. Miss Gould's voice very much
resembles hers in low aud middle notes. 1t
exceeds it somewhat in register. We look
for a brilliant future for this lady in our
music loving community. After her first
selection she received q hearty encore. and
with charming good taste sang q ballad,
kathleen, MsYourneen." and sang 1t ad.
mirably. Later on she politely acceded to
the request to sing "Annie Laurie"
