A Delightful Y. NJ. c. A. Convention.
The Y. NJ. G. A. entertainments last
night at the Second Presbyterian Church
was not so well attended as it should have
been. Had the people of Jersey City
known what a rare and delightful must
cal feast had been prepared for them the
church would have been packed to the
doors. Miss Lily Runais, under whose
direction the programme was given, has
a magnificent soprano voice of wonderful
range and of 81 very sympathetic quality.
Every number she gave evidenced the
trained artist and the accomplished
singer. An almost faultless vocalization
aided the tenderness n beauty OF ex-
preston.
Miss Runals also exhibited her great
versatility in her recitations. The Rock
of Ages" as she gives 1t is one of the most
tender and touching compositions in u
language. The Relief of Lucknow"
with organ accompaniment, was very
powerful and sublime. Mile. Bertha
,Bronsil. the famous Hungarian violinist,
has u world wide reputation. b has
played three times before Queen Victoria,
by special request, and before all the
crowned heads of Europe. Last night
she was encored again and again.
Prof. Minor G. Baldwin is said to have
no living rival on the pipe organ. st.
Cecelian was magnificently rendered, and
his storm in the Mountains" was so ma
tural that the audience believed 1t real.
A number of persons drew their wraps
and cloaks about them to keep OH the
rain and wind. MIR. Crombie, as a hui
morous reader, contributed his full share
to the pleasure of the audience. Mr..
Arthur Lucas, secretary of the Z. M. G.
A, is entitled to great credit for his selec-
ton of artists to fill up the winter even
ings for his society.
