Lexington weekly intelligencer., 1886-06-05

At the Baptist Commencement, Tuesday
night, Miss Josephine Hoogs sang the cele-
brated aria, "Batti, Batt," from MoZarrs
Don Giovanni, with great credit. Miss
Hoogs has voice of remarkable purity and
clearness. and sings with that ease, finish and
grace which so distinguishes all the pupils
of her famous tutor, the late Mad. Ruders-
lorff. In response to an enthusiastic triple
encore which would not be satisfied, except
with another song, she gave verse of the
old fayorite, "Comin' thro' the Rye" in eX-
quisite style.
