MT. DE calNTAI,
Tho Closing Musical ReCitals of tho ses-
sion ut the Mount,

| Ahu NAuhluE IhAuhlttlA AsoeAhtAhh OF tllN Heh
sion ut the Mount,
1t is with feelings Of mingled regret
and pleasure that We record the success
OF the last two musical rccitals ut Mt. dc
Chantal; regret that they are the last OF
the term, pleasure that they may be
cldssed worthy OF that distinction.
In the first Of these Miss Ida Wernet
made her debut as u pianist, and PLAYED
very well. Misses katherine Stephens
and Annie Moran deserve special men-
ton for the taste with which thev rom
dered their piano selections. Miss Lille
Snyder read a poem bys Longfettow with
evident appreciation and in full, clear
voice. Miss Edith Scott read an original
essay on Mile, Montpensier, and de-
serves much praise for both reading AMI
composition. And Misses Emma Lyons
and Eugenia Schmidt won very hearty
applause for their vocal solos. Miss Katie
Hdgan was the violinist OF the OCCASION.
She has naturally II strong, clear touch
and played without hesitation; but her
tones were, at times, rendered very de-
fective by the agitation incident to such
an ordeal. Miss Kate Decgan has i'm
proved greatly in vocal music. Shesang
with much taste and finish, and well dc.
served the eneomiums bestowed upon
her. This recital took place in Passion
week, and Miss Glare Hale recited
poem most appropriate TO tue season,
presenting to her audience wierd pic
ture OF the Mother Of Sorrows contem-
plating the sutIerings her Divine Son was
TO endure. While her words still linger-
cd in our ears, the fearful tones OF Ann-
dePs Messiah broke the silence, AMI
spell bound we listened to the prophets
ldment.
"He was despised and rejected OF
men u man OF SORROWS and acquainted
with grief. He gave his back to the
smiters, and his cheeks to them that
plucked off the hair: He hid not His
face from shame and splitting"
1t is no easy task to interpret such
selection, yet Miss DOnohue succeeded
admirably and the merits Of her effort
were attested by the breathless interest
with which it was heard. =
At the second of the recitals the fol.
lowing programme was carried out:

from the Messiah.
Misses Mary DOnohuCan Kutc DGCEHn,
As will be seen, the violin was quite
prominent on this occasion. Miss Fan
ME Sullivan failed to do herself Justice,
but Miss Lizzie Moore did very well.
Hcrtouch is firm and clear and herwaltzes
were most pleasingly executed. Miss
NJ. Hamilton played her overture with
much spirit and neatness Of touch and
scored n marked success for herself
The readings were fewer in number
than usual, but were quite entertaining.
Miss Nellie Flynn amused her hearers
with very good imitation OF the Afri-
can tongue, and Misses Julia Neely and
Sadie Robinson read imprcssiyely and
well.
Miss Teresa Mascr, in her piano solo,
brought out Schubert's lovely melody
very well. She has improved much
both in touch and execution and should
continue her studies on the piano.
The vocal music was particularly
pleasing. Miss Eugcnia Schmidt sang
simple little ballad; but it was given
with such style that all are convinced
that she will one day become fine vo-
catist. Miss Mary Kcnnedyts beautiful
Cradle Song" was sung remarkably
well. Miss Kennedy's voice is rich and
mellow, her enunciation good, and she
has gained greatly in smoOthncss and
truth OF intonatiOn. The vocal. duet,
owing to Il slight mistake in time, WAS
not SO satisfactory. Somebody's Darl-
ing" is song which requires rarity of
expression, and Miss Hagan did it full
justice. Her voice is sweet and clear
and possesses sympathetic quality
which renders il very attractive. The
romance from In Favorita was univer-
sally admired and was sung by Miss
Donohuc, with more spirit, taste and
finish than she ever before combined in
one song.
Thus closes q series OF delightful reHn-
ions whose aim has been ''to charm, to
strengthen and to teach, and whose re-
suit has cquaIed the desire Of those who
have labored SO untiringly to produce
it. REp.
