The musical convention held at the
Town Hall last week, although not a
financial success, was, as anticipated,
feast to all lovers of good music,
and credit to the managers and all
concerned. The programmes were
admirably arranged and all the differ
ent parts were executed in so excel
lent a manner that it would be impos-
sible for US to mention any one to the
exclusion of others without manifest
injustice. Messrs. Cornell and Hum
phrey deserve great credit for the ex-
cellent manner in which they arranged
and conducted the convention, as well
as for the parts they performed on
the programme. Both of these gen.
tlemen made many friends here and
will be warmly welcomed should they
again appear in this vicinity. Mrs.
Martha Dana Shepard, the pianist, is
too well known to require mention at
oar hands. Suffice it to say that she
sustained her we'll earned reputation
as the leading chorus pianist in the
country. Miss Fannie P. Lemon, So
prano, Miss Mary Phinney, contralto,
Mr.. F. W. Bancroft, tenor, and Mr..
H. H. May, baritone, were all most
excellent in their several solos and |
merit a more extended notice than |
our space will permit. The male
quartette, consisting of Messrs. Hum
phrey, Cornell, Bancroft and May,
was one of the features of the Friday |
evening concert and was well received !
by the audience. Mrs. Hazen, of St. |
Johnsbury. also took prominent part
in the programme. Mrs. Andrews
and Mrs. Fisk, OF this place, and Mrs.
Croft, of WolcOtt, were among the
local singers who took part in the solo
work. As whole it was truly fes-
tival of music and deserved a much
better patronage than it received from
our citizens. As we said before, we
can make no comparison, as each ex-
celled in their own particular role and
all the parts excellent in themselves
combined to make up one harmonious
whole. The chorus. though not large,
received much well merited praise.
This community doubtless under
stands that the new M. Z. church in
Morrisville is approaching completion
and some of US begin to feel little
anxious in regard to the financial out
come of the enterprise. Some parties
outside of the society have very kind
" assisted US, either giving US money
or subscribed, while others have said
they should pay something, without
naming the sum others still have
given limitations that they intended
to help us. We do not quite like to
90 to these parties and ask again for
help, but if they will kindly come for
ward and give US what they are dis
posed to, or name the sums they will
give us in the near future we shall be
very much obliged to them. 1t means
something for a comparatively weak
society to build meeting house, even
though the cost may not go far INTO
the thousands, and since evangelical
churches are supposed to be benefit
to communities in more than one re-
spect the friendly and benevolently
inclined are mostly disposed to help
us q little. w. II. HUFFER.
