Westminster NAV be congratulated upon
having in prospect so fine an entertainment
as that promised for the 18th of April (Eas

binary affair, but truly artistic performance
throughout-just what the cultured and music
loving people Of Westminster have long de-
sired-an entertainment that they can fully
appreciate aud endorse.
The mere mention Of Mrs. ]. w. Mealy as
connected with the same Is a sufficient guar
antee of its success. Those who have had the
pleasure of hearing her will be happy to be
again accorded that privilege, and those who
have not heard her should not miss the op-
portunity. Mrs. NJ. is possessed of a voice
Of rare sweetness and sympathetic quality, to
which is added the training and finish of sew
eral years study under proficient masters.
She is the recently elected soprano of Brown
Memorial Church, Baltimore, where 1t was
our pleasure to hear her IN an exquisite
selection entitled Ruth and Naomi.
Mr.. J. W. Mealy's many friends will be
pleased to learn that he will lend his excel
lent basso on the coming occasion. The rep
utation acquired by him here and elsewhere
at former concerts will recommend him at
once.
Mr.. Jarvis Butler, for some time organist
of the Church of the Holy lnnocents, Balti-
MORE but more recently elected to that re-
spousible position in Brown Memorial. will
be the accompanist. and will also furnish some
choice piano recitals. Mr.. Butler Is an artist
of unusual merit, and is destined to become
one of the leading musicians of Baltimore.
Mr.. McFadden, an elocutionst of some
note, has kindly consented to favor the aU-
diencc with readings, pathetic and humorous.
AMI all may expect treat in this particular
direction.

auspices Of Mrs. Jones, OF Western Maryland
College, who will spare no efforts on her part
to make it the most brilliant success OF the
SaHSnn.
