The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1882-02-08
The promenade concert at the Fleet Wing

affair The audience consisted of the friends
OF the Company, both old and young, and we
believe all expressed themselves well pleased
with the entertainment. The style and ex-
oellence of the music of the first part was such
as to please the most fastidous. The orches-
ira, under the direction of Prof G. A. Davis
consisted of the most of our well-known mu-
sicians. One of the soloists advertised was
unavoidably absent, but the audience was
fully compensated by an additional selection
by Miss Walton, whose singing is unusually
pleasing. After the completion of the first
part, the orchestra renewed to the lower ROOM
which had been cleared for the purpose, and
part of the company INDUCED in dancing,
while all gave themselves up to social enjoy
ment, and it was nearly 10 o'clock before the
music ceased, when all seemed satisfied that
they had passed a delightful evening. The
sum realized was not large, but is sufficient
to assist toward completing the furnishing of
the house.
The Company have just placed upon the
floor of their parlor handsome carpet, made
by Mr.. William Ramsey, which they have
paid for by individual subscription, and as
soon as practicable they wish to go on with
the furnishing of their rooms.

There was good attendance at the Ly-
ceum on last Thursday evening. The debate
was more than usually interesting. The sub
ject Resolved, That a system OF phonetic
spelling should be substituted for the one now
in use, was discussed by Messrs. Ryan and
Cochran in the affirmative, and Mr.. Lyman,
Rev. Il. K. Smith and DR.. Hayhurst in the
negative. The argument was really worthy
of more than passing notice as the one side
brought to notice so many instances of neon-
sistency and absurdity in our present system,
while the other, although admitting the room
for improvement, contended that it was not
sufficient to warrant the introduction of an
entirely new system. The judges thought
the affirmative more forciby presented aud
rendered Judgment accordingly. To morrow
Thursday evening the subject for discussion
Is, " Resolved, That the primary object of
punishment should be reformatory."
