THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC. 90,
When all the ~visitors were seated, the
entrance march opened the programme,
with four performers at two Concert
Grands. This was executed In grand
style, and with such perfection Of meas.
ufement and tempo, as made the four
young ladies appear to DO animated with
one soul directing all their movements.
The "ROndo CspriCiosa," by Mendels.
sobn, is the very essence Of that sweetness
with which all The harmonies OF this great
master are permeated. Miss Doran proved
herself q skilliul interpreter OF the work
in Selling the real spirit, and, by the del
,iCACy OF her touch, Contrasted with its
power In the "fOrte" passages, gave great
effect to its light and shade. In the parts
where q pleading tenderness Is required,
she was equally successful. Miss Doran
has, evidently, marked musical talent,
and reflects great credit upon the institu'
ton.
Miss Annie Lang, Of Wheeling, played
her harp solo with a brillianCy and finish

she will become an accomplished harpist,
for there Is no doubt oil her possessing dc.

The Overture 10 Figaro" by Mozart,
was rendered by the young ladies named
on the programme in a manner worthy OF
their theme. 1t is full Of life, and they

Mics Jane Hunes, Of Abingdon, Va,
Is a very fine performer and played
Ohopin's PolOnaise, Opus %, with all the

The composition Is al admirable
specimen Of Chopin's peculiarly original
style, OF which Miss Humes Ii q faithful
interpreter.
"Rhapsodio Hongroise," No. II, by
List, is q wild Hungarian melody, with
the musical aud national characteristics
skillfully combined. ItS weird strains
blend with the rush OF Instrumentation
for which List Is so noted, and Miss Jane
Of Sandusky, o., did 1t ample jus.
tlce, for she mingled fire and great power
with delicate shading, while her execution,
throughout the whole, was marked with
rare finish. Indeed the three principal
OF Mt. de Chantal might take pre-.
cedence anywhere.
THE VOCAL Music.
When a bevy Of fair young girls, with
fresh, sweet voices, present themselves,
and give q choice selection OF solos, trioB,
luartettes and choruses, there is so much
10 charm and excite admiration that
criticism shtinks out OF sight, aud we can
10 nothing but applaud.
For the last thirty years Mt. do Chantal
has been famed for It's music, and 1886
bears ample testimony to the fact that II
