Miss Kate Dsegan, OF Benwood, W. Va,
who made her debut Gs pianist, render
ed Messonier's "Petite Histoiretts" in
good style, showing improvement in touch
and finish.
Miss Adelaide Proctor, OF Gilmore, ILL.,,
also a debutante, played with good taste,
evincirg in her touch and technique care
full trailing and application.
The R4vcrie, by Wolf, was played cor
rec,ly and with good phrasing, by Miss
Mamie Healy, OF Wheeling, W. Va. Her
touch is a little hard, but this defect can
be overcome by application and pelsever-
ance.
Miss Nora Keryisk, Of Hamilton, Ber-
muda Islands, who possesses sufficient
talent to make good performer, did not
do herseli Justice on this occasion. She
began Heler's Evening Song" with con-
siderable style, but being overcome with
embarrassment, failed to complete the
performance to the satisfaction Of her
hearers.
Miss Jane G. HGmes, Of Abingdon, Va ,
gave Caprice OF Hummel-op. 40. Last
year occasion arose to speak OF this
young lady's performances, and she still
shows the same untiring application, and
gives promise OF becoming brilliant per.

Ohio, sang smoothly, with ease and self.

continued application she will make q
good singer. Miss. Flora Buhoup, Of Chi
csgo, H., gave LoRgtellow's "Rainy
Day" in a style which displayed consider.
able abandon. Her information is some
what defective, while her enunciation is
rather too marked, which, however. Is a
fault ION the right side" Miss Robinson,
OF Lake Village, Arkansas, sang a very
pretty ballad by Abt. She has great
volume OF voice, which will, however, re-
quire careful training and persevcring ap-
plication to develop its sweeter qualities.
Having been agreeably surprised by
Miss Tully's improvement, displayed al
the opening musicale OF the year, her
audience was much pleased to note the
continued progress manifested at the en-
tertainment q Saturday evening. Her
voice has gained much in softness and
sweetness Of tone, and thereishope she will
make fine vocalist. Miss Donahue's
full, rich voice was displayed 10 great adj
vantage in the graceful melody by Can.
cone. Combining in her voice unusual
volume and compass, she commands
more than ordinary repertoire, and she
steadily improves in finish Of style and
mellowness OF tone. The latter quality
was particularly noticeable in the Greg
Cendo passages, where it was never lost in
power OF sound.
The literary selections, which form an
important feature Of these soiIees, were
both entertaining and amusing. Miss
Mamie Brennan, OF New York, read Tai
IMAGES Ghosts" distinctly aud with an
imRtion and intelligence, while Mis-
Mamie Kennedy, Of Wheeling, after giving
the opening verses Of the poem in
clear, full voice, entirely suCcumbed to
stage fright and withdrew preCipitately,
carrying with her the sympathy OF the
audience. Miss Fay Collins gave her
German Recitation" in a bright, amin
ated style. Her pronunciation ia excellent,
aud TO those among the audience convers-
ant with the German language, her per-
Torrance was entirely satisfactory. The
beautiful little poem, 1.-THE Wind and The
Stream" by Hunt, was delivered with
much appreciation by Miss Flora Buhoup.
aud formed marked contrast to the
anglo Dutch" selection which followed.
In this, Miss Anna Mccullough, Of Ale
gheny, Pa, displayed much humor, COM
bined with marked power OF imitation,
and held the interest Of her audience, even
to the "little ones" Of six, who laughed
heartily over the mishaps Of "HGns,"
while "huntipg the wood.Chuck." JudG-
ing by the applause which followed each
effort Of the evening, the entertainment
in question may he considered worthy OF
its place in the records OF the year, and
the audience dispersed, anticipating still
greater pleasure in the concert to be given

of music, the great St. Cecilia.
