It would be difficult to decide which
department Of the above was most inter
esting. The reading was intelligent and
viyaci0uS, and the music varied and de-
llghtfal,
France" was very nicely delivered by
| little Miss Mcllwaine, who retired
amidst hearty applause and laughter;
and "They Say," containing lesson Of
kindness, was distinctly and intelligent
| " read by Miss Ida Wcrnet. Miss Sadie
Robinson's composition expressed great
admiration for Miss Proctor's poems and
gave evidence ofcareful and appreciative
study. "St. Huber's Last Hunt" given
by Miss Nellie Cannon, was read with
such earneslness and feeling as to hold
the interest of the audience to-the close.
Miss Ruth Richardson read an Impress
i've and appropriate selection entitled,
excepting the Fast" and all were
charmed with her full, clear, voice, her
animation, and her graceful delivery, as
well us with the beauty OF the sentiment
conveyed in the poem,
Three instruments figured in this even
ing's entertainment, md first on the list
came the violin selection by Miss Fan
ME Sullivan. This little lady seems
hardly more than three feet high, but
she advanced upon the stage with u
courage and spirit worthy OF more adj
vanced debutante, and as she drew her
bow across the strings with ease and de.
cision there was universal murmur Of
satisiactian. This number was played
to the end without hesitation and the
diminutive musician retired in state Of
delight with hcrSelf and the world ut
large. Miss Teresa Lyons deserves much
credit for her harp solo. Her touch is
sweet and full, and her selection was not
without its difficulties. In spite OF the
nervous trembling OF her hands, visible
ut some distance, Miss Lyons accom-
plished her task in q most pleasing man
ner and won round OF applause. A
second violin solo was rendered by Miss
Lizzie Moore, another debutante OF ten
der years, and all were delighted with
the smoothness of her playing, the firm
ness of her touch and the ease with
which she managed so difficult IN in
strument,
And now how shall we tell the fate Of
the piano Duet? Alas! the treble and
bass ran race, and the bass won, but
beinga generous victor, waited for the lat
ter to catGh up with it, so that the final
chords were struck in unison and har-
mony. Let us hope that on some future
occasion the same young ladies will favor
US with more successful cttort-tor it
must be understood that stage fright
alone was responsible for the above men,
toned peculiarities, nthe "Song With
out Words" Miss Deegan appeared
absorbed in her art, and played with
such delicacy, spirit and artistic finish us
TO excite unusual admiration. Although
more difficult and classical numbers have
been given this year, none have merited
greater praise.
The vocal numbers were by no means
inferior to those already noted. III
follow thee" was very well sung by Miss
I,ottie Warehouse. Her voice is weak
and somewhat husky, but her singing
gives evidence Of careful study, and what
she does is well done. The vocal trio,
though simple, was bright and pleasing,
and being sung with spirit, was cordially
received. Miss Mascr sang her "Talacca"
from II Puritani" correctly, but failing
to give out the full power Of her voice,
did not do herself justice. Miss Dono-
hue's selection from "The Messiah"
was very fine. Her voice, being exceed
ingly full and mellow, is especially
adapted to oratorio, and her first attempt
ut music SO elevated was most encour-
aging. Miss Donohue should continue
TO study, her voice possessing capabilities
OF high order.
The absence Of our honored Bishop
somewhat married the pleasure OF the
evening, but the presence OF Mongignor
Sullivan aud Very Rev. II. /. Parke
was fully appreciated, and the kind in
terest and cordial approval expressed by
them gratitied the hearts OF both pupils
and teachers. y,
