The cantata by the children's class in sing

very prettily sung , and the little fairies look.
ed sweet and cunning in their airy costumes.
Miss Atkinson, who took the part of the
queen. has one of the most promising voices
in The school. An interpolated solo of dim
execution was beautifully sung and
showed 1exibility of voice astonishing 1 a
pupil of only five months.
The Tampa overture was given with all
the care and precision which marks the DO
duction of such works by Prof.. Gfm5el's
pupils, and was listened to with marked in.

Miss Maud ~Brown:sang Millard's "1eturn"
with more success than any other one of the
many who have attempted this composition.
Miss Brown has a noble voice of rare sweet
and depth. She received a rousing
double encore, but declined to sing again.
Indeed Theodore Thomas rule of no encores
was the order of the evening. Nothing but
bows. We're given.
Miss Ella Bedford has a very full soprano
voice of extensive compass, and sang the
composition Of Meyerbeer with great
She received a warm encore.
The Wollenhaupt Gallop was gracefully
by Misses Dale and Avery, who both
show marked and satisfactory:progress in their
studies. .
Miss Carrie Kerr sang her solo, the beauti-

Tor the tenor Castle. with much feeling and
expression, and was heartily applauded.
Mr.. Smith sang one of his best known and
most favorite selections, the "Warrior Bold"

as no other n has ever sung it to our
The audience was 10th to excuse
him from nm encore, but after three or four
recalls and bows, gave it up.
The kowalsH quartette, which we believe is
entirely new here. is a fine composition and was
excellently played by the Misses Dale, Webb,
revis and Chrisman.
Misses Bedford and Cameron sang their
,oquettish duet with "a great deal of spirit,
with nicely of finish. Miss Dame
ron is one of the coming contraltos of Miss
class, and with study will make her
mark.
Eckerts "Echo Song," which is Carlotta

Gently sung by Miss Lula Martin, her tone
and execution are as near perfect as are ever
heard in d singer except on the professional
i'll artists of the first rank. She was en-
Enthusiastically applauded.
Liszts difficult arrangement of the quar-
tette from Rigoletto, was finely PLAYED by
Miss jamie Webb.
Miss Ella Pitts was evidently the ~favorite
with the audience, and this favor was won by
her unexceptionably fine voice. She has a
rich, dramatic high soprano voice, has been
careful and diligent in her vocal studies,
and sings with intelligence and expression.
Her "Arline" in the Bohemian Grip given
in April thoroughly established her in the
hearts of Lexington audiences, and the ap-
ofthe charming little donna will al
ways be welcomed. She declined a double
encore with bows.
Miss Martin and Prof. Gimbel played the
Liszt-Bulow "Fantasie" with great power.
brilliancy and expression, and had the bes.
compliment that could be given it, it
was listened to by the audience throughout
with an attention that was remarkable, con-
sidering the extreme length of the piece.
The "Good-night' quartette from Martha
closed the programme, and the tapping of the
city bell during the singing was a curious
coincidence, and gave u strangely realistic
effect to the music.
President Lanneau had procured a new
Steinway square grand piano for this concert
but it did not arrive in time to be used, which
