Miss Mary busch, also Of Wheeling, sang a
simple melody very correctly, but was too

ity and power Of her voice.
Miss Mary Donoghuc, OF Grafton, gave q
very good Interpretation Of Heller's Might

shading. She gives evidence OF being a
faithful student, who, with time, will make
al excellent player.
Miss Mamie Sitgreayes, OF Wheeling, has
made marked improvement since her last APP

plenty OF hard work before her.
Miss I.ottie Rouse, Of Jersey City, made
her first appearance In white Lillies." "
She has good position Of tue hand, q sure,
firm touch, and would have done very
Creditably but for nervous fright which
seized her in the midst of her performance
OCcasiOning hesitation after hesitation.
Playing from memory under such cirCun'
stances Is severe test, but the DirectresS, on
such occasions, Is inexorable and permits no
young lady to leave the piano; so Miss Lottie
ultimately recovered her comDosure and
finished triumphantly.
Miss Mary Hagan, Of Dungarm, Ohio, sang
o little melody OF sChubert's, accompanying
herself on the harp, Her voice Is sweet and
mellow, but her enunClation lacks distinct
ness. She has fine touch on the hlrp, pro
ducing clear, pure tone, OF great sweetness
and with earnest application might play

Miss Susie sitgreayes, OF Wheeling, played
one OF Fields charming noturnes very
creditAbly, but her left hand Is weak and d
number Of her notes fell under the piano.
Misses Mora Weber and Jennie Wilson exc
Outed their duo with fine effect, and we were
pleased to hear that Miss Weber, In paFliou'
lar, had gained so much In sweetness since
she last played.

graduating class, distinctly and intelligently.
Miss liukey possesses a clear, agreeable voice,
with good enunciation, and with more
practice will make an excellent reader
Miss Olivia KerriSh, of Bermuda, appeared
for the first time as vocalist. Her voice is
thin In quality and not extensive in compass,
but considering the size OF the hall and her
timidity she was heard to disadvantage.

difficult TO attend to the spirit OF compost

Miss Lucy Loring sang Swedish song in
an effective style, and II we are not very
much mistaken there are rare capabilities In
her voice, which, by following the directions
Of her skilled and experienced teacher will
develop into artistic qualities seldom to be
met with among amateurs.
The soiree was concluded by reading the
trial scene from the Merchant OF Venice"
The young Indies who read the various roles
had no pretensionS rs eloCutioniSts, but
simply toCultivate comprehension and due
appreciation OF the great poet. Each one

OF portia and Antonia with considerable
feeling while Shyock, by Miss Augusta

Wilson, were given with tone and empha-
