evenings program with the following
appropriate remarks:
The Concert proper was preceded by recita-
tous, songs. dialogues. etc, by the younger
pupils. who knew their parts thoroughly and
gave them to the audience i'll fine style. FER
formances by little children are always inter-
esting and attractive. and Monday nights eN-
ercises were no exception: The musical part
of the entertainment consisted oil piano SOLOS;
duets and trios, and vocal solos and duets and
chor:lses by the class. All indicated careful
instruction. commendable degree OF industry
and application and reflected credit upon the
teacher, Madam Ruhl, and upon the school,
The selections were rendered in spirited and
attractive manner, and the hearers were en-
thusastic and even vociferous in their demon
stratious of approval. The gipsey scene, IN
which number of young ladies appeared in
costumes most becoming and strongly suggcs-
tive of a gipsey camp or bandana campaign.
was extremely effective, and the audience for
got entirely the discomfort of the summer
night and crowded hall. Appropriate songs
and choruses heightened the effect of the
charming scene. We recall the following as
participants Misses Maud Griffith and Minnie
Lockwood. duet; Anna Mason. solo; Bertha
Ruhl and Alice Farmer. duet; Fannie Camp
bell, solo, with tambourinc; Annie Aisquith
| and Anna Belle Mason. duet. Chorus with
bells. etc. This was followed by Calisthenic
exercises under the leadership of Miss Bertha
Ruhl. 1t is rumorcd that the local military
company will be melted to fresh endeavors in
the directionof drllperfection by the precision
with which the young ladies of the class per
formed the difficult movements of their drill.

temporary pertinently says: The
order of the evening was q concert
by Prof. Max Brownold's class in in
strumental music, interspersed with
vocal selections by pupils of Madam
Ruhl, and reading of several of the
prize compositions-followed by adj
dress and awarding of medals, certiti-
Gates, etc. Prof. Brownold's emf
nent ability as a music teacher led
the hearers to expect great things of
his pupils, and their expectations
were more than realized. Indeed
the brilliant performances of the
