THE CONCERT.
The commencement concert, the lead
ing attraction of the week, will occur at
the Congregational church on Wednesday
evening, beginning at s o'clock. The
class have spared no pains to secure ar
fists of recognized musical ability, and
it bids fair to be the finest musical treat
ever given the people of Middlebury
Besides Baisdell's celebrated orchestra,
led by Mr.. Blaisdell himself, the follow
ing artists have been secured: Miss Hell
enc Clarkson, soprano soloist of Boston,
and sister of the famous pitcher. In
der the headline, "GovernOr Ames De-
| lighted by Miss Clarkson's Singing" the
Boston Globe said of her part in recent
concert: "Miss Clarkson's singing was
ineXpressibly sweet, the charming caden-
ces of her voice leaving an abiding i'm
preston upon the mind" Mr.. j. H..
Ricketson, the tenor soloist, sang at the
Rutland Musical festival and delighted
large audiences. The Herald of May 10
said "Mr. Ricketson sang with true feel
! ing, good information, sweetness and eX-
preston and well deserved the liberal
applause he received" A most pleasing
feature of the entertainment will be the
playing of Mrs. George Dean Spaulding
harpist, of Boston. For number of
years Mrs. Spaulding has appeared before
large and delighted audiences in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia, and to hear
her alone is well worth the price of ad,
mission, which is one dollar. The sale
of seats began yesterday morning at
Earl's drug store. Parties out of town
can secure good seats by RENTING to A
+. Cushman.
Following the concert will come the
promenade concert at the town hall
Blaisdell's orchestra will furnish music
and supper will be served at the Addison
House. Hall bill, 50. Seats in the gal
lery are on sale at Earl's drug store.
