excellence, has never been surpassed.
There have been many musiceles in
the large school room of this grand
old institution, but all previous ones
were eclipsed by the rendition of the
superb program prepared for Thursday

arranged the program, and to her too
much praise cannot be given. From
| first to last it was rare artistic per.
formance, calculated to please all
lovers of really fine music The young
ladies and gentlemen taking part in
the entertainment deserve praise for
the fine manner in which they carried
out their parts, which bore evidence
to excellent instruction in this high art.
Misses Wainwright and Rhoades
opened with a piano trio, Marriage of
Figaro" by Mozart. 1t was exceed
ingly well rendered, and deserved the
! applause which followed. The Fay
OF the Woods" vocal duet, was next
in order, sung by Miss Parker and Mr..
Buck. The applause which followed
was very decided, and showed that
the audience was anxious to hear
more. An encore was given. Miss
Lizzie Ware skillfully performed Tha1-
6erg's Romance Variee," a superb
piano solo, and was followed by Miss
Dawson in reading from Iennyson' S
Maud" The young lady captivated
the audience with her superb elocution
and dramatic force. One of the finest
parts of the program next followed-a
vocal solo by Miss Carmelia, s'Tell me
my Heart by Bishop. The clear,
sweet soprano voice of the fair young
lady was heard to the best advantage.
and every note was listened to atteu-
lively. An encore followed, and Miss
Carmelia sang a pretty little song
about a rosy apple, which was very
pleasing. Another fine bit Of the pro-

cuse," by Gottschalk, superbly rendered
by Misses Dawson and Campbell.

not to please the musical ear, but give
a recitation from the pen of Mathison.
entitled The Little Hero Master
Sharp was attired in the costume of a
man ofwar. The story he told, was a
pretty one, and when it was finished
the audience at once decided they had
not heard sufficient from him and he
was called back to tell IA perfectly,
awfully, lovely story" which was hui
morons and evoked many merry
peal of laughter. Mr.. Buck sang Pin
snta S solo, Il fear no foe." The deep
clear bass voice never was heard at a
better advantage, and an encore was
demanded and given.
The program announced Miss Daw-

the ear of the audience They were
as still as the tomb and anxious to en-.

sketch entitled Cups and Sau-
GERS" from Gr0sSmith was next given
by Miss Manning and Mr.. Ireden This
bit of nonsence developed from the
two participants, some fine amateur
acting, which greatly pleased the audi.
ence. Miss Manning assumed the role
of -HrS. dorchester, and Mr.. Iredell,
that of General Delloh, both maniacs
on the subject of rare china. Some of
the ware they produced was truly
wonderful and some of it came from
the "Bank(S Of Commerce street"
The little sketch teemed with local
hits and school jokes, proved all too
short for the delighted audience A
fitting finale for an entertainment of
this high character, was the piano
quartette, "Willam Tell," from Ros-
SIM, by Mrs. Garrison, Misses Camp
bell, Rynich and Haywood.
