MUSICAL -Sarepta Hall was crowd sd last
night upon the occasion OF the fifth compli-
mentsry rehearsal of the Alexandria Musi-
cal Association. Waite the renditions of
reed and brass were fair, the music was not
equal TO that of some of the previous re-
hesrsais. The orchestration WAS marked by
precision and the selections were good. The
association vas assisted by Miss Molly A.
Byrne, of st. Aloysius church choir, Wash
ington. This Lady sings soprano clear and
full, and in response to very hearty encore
sang the Lullaby from Ermine in splendid
voice. The piano solos rendered by Miss
Katharine Meyrer are worthy of special
mention, as they were certainly beautiful.

gest Conservatives of music In Germany,
and is certainly q flashed artist. The
