The finished and artistic manner in which
the bells were handled was pleasant sur
prise to everybody. Where all was 50 good,
it would, perhaps, seem not right to make
distinctions but we trust we will be pardon
ed for Specially mentioning and applauding
the sweet singing of Mrs. Cage and Miss
Jennie Morancy and the excellent perform
ance OF Miss Lizzie Cooper Mr.. Young
and Mr.. SSellenger sang finely, as did all
the other participants Prof Schwartz added
much to the pleasure of the occasion by his
cornet accomplishments and Prof Hampel,
at the piano, could not have been exceled.
The entertainment, we are pleased to learn,
was a financial success, as well as in other
respects.
