particulars a success. The bad travelling
and the Influenza diminishing the attend
ance somewhat; Mr.. Blaisdell, Mrs Shep-
ard, the members of the Blaisdell orches-
ira, Mr.. May, Mr. COnant and the star
singers advertised, being present. The
music taken up was of a difficult ORDER
and the drill exercises better adapted to
educated musicians than to common
singers. Among those who contributed
largely to the success of the convention
was a large number of fine musicians
from Sherbrooke. Most of the more
prominent singers of the county were
present. While free entertainment was
not advertised, large number of sing
ers were invited out among the people
The convention socially was very pleas
ant. The expenses were unusually heavy
but it is supposed the receipts meet them.
