| filled last night with friends. and among them

in; Miss Angela Maxwell: recently of
city. Miss Maxwell played exquisitely
and entirely from memory several OF
the most difficult OF modern piano-forte compo
sitions. She possesses an admirable technique
and plays with an ease and grace
delightful to witness. The first number on
the programme WAS a waltz of Mozkowski's,
and its various intricaeies peculiar to that com.
poser were well brought out The Album
Leaf" aud Eau Toilet two selections written
by Emil Liebiing, the celebrated teacher. plan.
ist and composer. of Chicago. whose pupil Miss
Maxwell ia, followed. In tho Gext number, the
andante and polonaise in L fiat, by Chopin, the
pianiste showed her most brilliant work. A
piece not often found in artists programmes
was played with the same finish and delicacy.

be called a criticism. is. she does not possess the
reduisite physical power for a com.
position OF such a nature. The last group
included La Polka de la Refine q beautiful
and dainty number by Raft; Waener's celebrated
Spinning SONG from the "Flyinc Dutch
man." Mendelssohhs 'Song without Words,
one equally we'll played as the other. Miss Ida
| Sweenie assisted vocally, and rendered 1.-THE
Lady Evsline' and Last Night by Kjsrulf,
charminely. being heartily applaudsd for both,
and recalled; Miss Maxwell is an ACQUISITION e
local musical circles. and her fine playing will
secure for her a desirable class of pupils, as she
will add her name to the list OF teachers.
