ORGAN RECITAL
A large audience was present at the second
organ recital given by Prof. VIM. H. Clarke on
the organ at Plymouth Church, yesterday after
noon, and was highly entertained and delighted
with the performance. Professor Clarke gave
an interesting description of each piece and it's
author, and plainly illustrated the different
thoughts expressed in the music With these
explanations it was easy to distinguish the diff
ference between classic and common music
The programme consisted of classic selections
and operate effects, ending with the overture to
"Stradella," in which the dramatic effects were
wildly brought out. These recitals promise to
become very popular and instructive, being
given every Saturday afternoon at
o'clock, the object being to ere
ate an interest in organ music and to
enable the public to hear such music played on
an instrument that was built to give special con-
cert and orchestral effects.
The Musical Society, also under the direction
of Prof. Clarke will hold it's regular rehearsal
on tomorrow evening at Plymouth Church. and
full attendance is desired, as matters of interest
are to be discussed The society will produce
two part songs at the concert on Jan. 20. The

be held on Tuesday evening and also on Friday
evening at the hall in Plymouth Church. The

eral young lady players in its membership. which
