PROFESSOR OBER's singing-class held
musical convention at the town hall on
k,
closing with concert on Thursday evening.
There was full chorus, and large attend
ance, considering the travelling, which was
very poor The exercises were conducted
in an able and skillful manner. The class
was one of unusual perseverance and
prompt attendance. AS a result of the
singing-school the choir ought to be greatly
benefited. The singing of Mrs. Ila Marsh
johnson deserves special mention. The
professor introduced her as Ila Marsh, the
little singer of quarter of century ago,
who sang the Red, White and Blue at
our war meetings. Although twenty-five
years have elapsed, the clear bird-like tones
of the sweet-voiced singer have not ceased
to please and thrill all who listen to her.
Miss Bertha ODER sang " Returned in a
pleasing and artistic manner, showing great
ability and skill. The singing by Mrs.
Royce and Miss Nettie Sterling was especi-
ally fine. The Whippoorwill " by Miss
Josie Boyce a little girl of twelve years, was
rendered in very interesting and pleasing
manner. The male quartettes and songs
were very good. Miss Genie l.. Boyce and
Miss Nettie Sterling presided at the organ,
doing themselves much credit.
