The Till family have been engaged for
Middletown for Oct. 10th. The lovers of
good music have not had such an oppor-
tunity as will be offered to them on this oc-
casion. The following is one of the many
endorsements.
Ny DEAR MR. HALLIDAY: 1t must have
given you great pleasure to find that your
rec ommendation of the Till Family proved,
after the Concert in Plymouth Church last
Tuesday, to have been 50 worthily bestowed,
and | do but justice to my own feelings,
indeed the feelings of all the members of my
family who were present, when l say that
seldom have listened to an enter tainment
so thoroughly enjoyable, and of so refined
and elevating character and so lasting in
its sweet memories. First of all must men
tion the deep impression which was left upon
the minds of the listeners that in the Till
Brothers and Sisters they had before them
not only true artists, but also true gentlemen
and gentlewoman. Their unassuming,
modest manners were indeed their best intro
duction to Plymouth Church. From a
musical point of view their entertainment
was of most novel and interesting charac-
ter. The " Ringing Rocks the largest and
most prominent instrument, and entirely a
Till invention and combination, is certainly
o IculdIhdOlc pTOuuCtiOuj anu StLuCcS uu'
common patience, judgement and skill. But
of the many various instruments handled by
these artists l must give the first prize to the
Fairy Bells" Tor swinging zithers) and to
the Crystal Chimes" (or musical glasses
The former produces sound like the Eolian
harp, while the latter comes nearest the
flute, though no flute ever produced such
soft, round, sweet, spiritual tones. l have
never been SO affected by any music as when
Miss Till and her brothers played "Abide
With Me" on the Musical Glasses. and il
was very plain to me that to the greater part
of the audience were as deeply affected as
was. To bring tears to the eyes of the listen
er by simple instrumental music requires no
common instrument and no common per-
former. ish the talented family all the
success. and public support they deserve.
Whenever their performances are given
within reasonably easy reach, l shall make
it my business to attend theme. T. CHRIST
ENsoN, President Drexel L Morgan's Bank,
