Miss Folsome was received with great ap-
plause she came upon the stage. The
Richmond people were greatly surprised
in seeing so much talent in so short
a time. Miss Folsome was dressed in white
satin, trimmed with crystal and pearl fringe.
short skirt, low corsage without sleeves.
Jacque minot roses on the ccrsare, pearl neck
lace and diamond earrings. She received
three very handsome boquets of flowers dur
ing the evening. Miss Folsome has sung in
public at Boston, Worcester and New Bed
ford Mass, bur this is her first appearance
in public in her own town.
Mrs. Haley, who is one of Richmond's old
favorites, sang very beautiful song which
was encored. Mrs. Haley's voice is very soft
prettiiy trimmed with Spanish lace. Roses
at the corsage. and diamond earrings.
Miss Alexander, | think, did not sing az
well as usual. | have heard her sing much
better although it was good. She was called
out twice to repeat her song but the audien,e
were only hOnored by her graceful bows and
backward glide Off the stage. She wore
white dotted muslin, trimmed with Vaen-
ciennes lace, nosornaments.
Miss Foster sang very beautifully for
the piece that she sang. which was not
adapted to her voice, which is very sweet
and powerful. She will probably be one of
Names great singers if she only has the right
instruction, which we all hope she will have.
was glad to see that Miss Foster received
her share of the encores. She wore white
muslin with crude roses. This lie her first
appearance in public.
Miss Hatch is very fine singer, but has
not ate mpted such instructions "a the tour
above named persons. She wore white
muslin, with light blue silk overdress, pink
rose buds at the neck.
Any ore could see that when Miss
Rackus of Hyanris, Mass, took her place
at the piano, that she was its master, and
could carry out anything she under
took to do The audience was just carried
away with her art of making the piano
talk. She wore a white muslin, finished
with white satin ribbons. Miss Sturtevant,
the accOmpanist wore a handsome white
nunsvaling with rose buds at neck.
Mr.. Sturtivant's cornet solo was good and
enjoyed by all.
Mr. Center is also a fine tenor singer, and
one who has given us lots Of pleasure.
SIR Goritz is well posted in the musical
line and can tell when any thing is done well
as he is considered quite critic.
