As previously announced
through the columns of the BEE,
the citizens of Washington are
making elaborate preparations to
hold q vocal anu instrumental
concert at Metropolitan church on
the evening of the 18th of Febru-

citation of the services OF Mai ,r @.

The committee in charge, of
which DR.. Shadd is chairman are
in receipt of letters from nearly
all our prominent musical people
rendering their services to assist
at the testimonial. Among these
may be mentioned Mesdames

Corps Band, Metropolitan Church
choir, Ameteur Glee Club, the
High School Cadets, and others.
Such an array of musical talent
has never appeared before Wash
iugton audience and it is no ex-
sggerstion to say that the propos-
cd concert will be the grandest
ever given here. The gentleman
In whose honor this concert is 10

mendation from us. His whole
life has been devoted to doing
good unto others. In q Later issue
we will take occasion to speak OF
some of the public services rem
dered by Major Fleetwood.
The concert itself, independent
of the object for which it lie given
will be rare musical treat and
in our opinion Metropolitan church
will be crowded to its utmost
capacity on the night of February

1t affords us much pleasure to
see the interest that the Reys.
DIR. Chapel and Father Mackin
of st. Matthew church have taken
In one of their colored Catholics.
This goes to prove that it is not
only the priests of St. Augustines
church who take an interest in
the members of their faith. What
ias called forth these remarks is
that we see that Mr.. Surgeons
lecture on Antigua British Islands
in the caribbean Sea that is to
come off on the 4th of FEBRUARY,
is under the distinguished patron
age of the two above named priests.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Chapelle and Father Mackin do
not belong to the Catholic Church
in this city, and this goes to
prove that both of these reverend
gentlemen are tree from that
selfish principle which prevade
the minds of most of the people
in this place. This act of DR.

will reclaim many TO that Christ
