Mt. &c Onhnta. a pIVSIommo VI unuoe"'
merit was rendered by the pupils Of that
Institution in manner worthy Of con-
cert room, and chained the attention Of
those present with unfsgging interest.
First upon the list, Miss Nellie Gannsn.
of Atlanta, Ga, sang The Sailors Invita-
tiou," by Oberthur, with much taste and fn-
isl. Her voice, like herself, is petite"
but it is sweet toned and her improvement
marked.
Miss Mai Forbes, Of Elm Grove, has
made considerable progress in her vocal
music since we last heard her, and "The
Tear" by Sigelli, which she sang very
we'll on this occasion, displayed to advan'
tape the fullness of her low notes.
A vocal duet, The Rose and the Night
ingsls." by Abt, was very well rendered BY
Miss Nora Kerrisk, of Bermuda, and Mis-:
Mai Tyler, of Elyria, Ohio. Their voices
blended admirably, while the shading and
expression gave evidence Of attentive study
Miss Marie Hauil, Of New York, SANG
Come bello," By Donizetti, with smooth
ness and finish which displayed csretn
training, but she did not catch the spirit o
her song, and tailed to give the effect shs
is thought capable of producing.
"Impatience,". by Schubert. was sung re
marksbly we'll BY Miss Mary Tully, of Par
kersburg, who combined lightness and ease
Of style with much animation, and won tol
herself unanimous applause.
The English school was represented By
selections from our native poets, and com
positions by the pupils OF the Academy. o
the former, Miss Minnie McGraw, Of Graf
ton, read Virtue Alone Beautiful, BY
Whittier, very distinctly and intelligently
and she gives promise Of making gooc
reader.
MISS Flora Buhoup, Of Chicago, whose
voice showed careful culture, read "Pris
cilla's Answer" selection from Lougfellow
with expression and spirit.
"Caprices Of the Wind" written and
read By Miss Rose Mc1raw, Of Grafton
gave us in a well connected, familiar style
various phases of the wind g capriciousness
The composition evidenced much reiec
ton aud some imagination, and was read
with good infection and modulstion.
Mss Bee Clifford, OF Clarksburg, also
contributed to the entertainment a compo
sitian on Smoke" which was carefully sno
thoughtfully written. Miss Clifford made
some good points in comparing smoke with
human lives. Her voice, though not clear is
lull in tone and her reading was creditable
A trio for the pisno-"The Young May
Queen" by Louis Meyer, was the first in
srumental effort of the evening. and was
played vepy nicely By the three little ladies
in short skirts, Misses Mamie and Annie
Brennan, of New York, and Emma Kerrisk
of Bermuda.
Miss Mai Tyley played "Ths Brooklet,
by Spindler, in a very creditsble manner
Her touch is clear and her pleasing anC
shading good. 49,
The piano quartette from "Tapczedi
(Rossini), played by Misses Anna Ions
and Anna Reyuann, at the first piano. snc
Miss Julia Doran and Teresa Msser at tn,
second, was most enjoyable number, ont
was given with much spirit and in excel
lent time.
To distinguish between the two remain
ing piano selections would be hardly just
as they were so totally different as to rem
der comparison out OF the question
Schubert and Beethoven-ths King o
Song and the Genius Of Harmony-wert
here presented to a delightful audience
and formed the climax TO the evening
pleasure.
Miss jamie Quinn gave Lisz!l
Transcription of Sohubert's match
less "Erl-King," In a style worthy o
maturer years, and those acquainted with
the vocal score, followed with eager inter
est the whole legend of this most dramatic
song. Miss jamie Humes, of Abingdon
Va. played Beethoven's Sonsta-op u
No, l, and 1t is not too much to say thai
h=r Interpretation was worthy OF the sub
ject. To great finish of technique, she
added power Of expression which left
little to be desired in the way of character
and depth Of feeling. The restless melody
here and there falling into p!aintive sad
nees, and underlying the wonderful har
monies Of the great master, carried the
music loving sog! beyond the sordid cares
of earth, and babe it never rest till, puri
fed from all worldly .dross it might lie in
bhssful alteration o. the feet Of its
Maker.
