Mr.. Psrmenter, editor Of the Troy
Press vas present Al the concert recently
held and sent the following notice to his
paper. We give II - coming from an M.
prejudiced and competent critic: 1.-THE
concert opened with . brilliant piano Duet
we'll played by Miss Burgess and Miss
Bowman. This was followed by Miss Cola
G. johnson with q fine recitation OF the
poem ''Archie Dean Mr.. Ed. Long. OF
Boston, recently Of Bennington. then sang
The sailors grave" aud won . burst OF
applause that WAS continued until he sang |
for encore "WheFc is heaven?" and was
agsin raptuously applsuded. DIR. Geo. h.
Swift then gave . cornet solo. Last
Night" was then sung by Miss Stella Bur.
CESS OF Factory Point. in a remarkably
pure voice and in manner denoting high
musical culture. The sad tale OF willie
Baird" was recited by Miss johnson. Miss
enhood." She has q marvellous voice for
strength and compass and sings with an
easy flow aud plenty Of go" She quite
took the house by storm. and sang TO the
encore. When Jim comes home from sea,
in quite mstchless style. Schubert's 'Sere-
made with cornet obligsto, by Miss
Burgess and DIR. Swift, was beautifully
rendered. Mr.. Long then sang. WAS it
for this?" and was again encored. Miss
Bennett sang Hush thee. my baby and
fer encore. II gather them io.' The last
selection was not In good taste for clos
ing song. Miss Burgess and Mr. Long
then sang oh. that we two were Maying,
and the concert closed with The old
folks At home" sung by Miss Bennett.
Miss Burgess, Mr.. Long and Mr.. Bentley,
OF Factory Point. 1t would be bard to
say which 10 the better singer, Miss Bur-
Ress or Miss Bennett Both are admirable.
Miss Benefits style ia more popular, but
Miss Burgers voice 10 OF rather finer
quality perhaps. II il very unusual that
such singers can be found ia the country.
They are both young and with proper 1
training would make very extraordinary
singers" +
