GREENFIELD HILL.

Attracted by the excellent musical program, the merits of which were well known and still further allured by the clear, bracing atmosphere and glorious moonlight of last week Thursday, com pany of nearly 300 gathered in the Con- gregational church to listen to a soiree musicale given by pupils of Miss Louise Plumley, with Miss Plumley's cooper ation and under her direction. Although several vocalists who had been confident ly expected to appear were confined to the house by sickness and it had not been easy to fill their places, the entire musi- cale passed off with success, reflecGing credit alike upon teacher ane pupils. Miss Plumley herself found it necessary to take the part assigned to Miss Susie Beers, who was attacked by sickness on- ly short time before the entertainment. Of the individuals, it would be almost impossible to speak in full detail and yet special mention should be made of sing ing of J. J. Hayes of New York, who kindly volunteered his services and ad- ded much to the enjoyment of the even- ing; also to Mrs E. M. Carr, who favor ed the audience with second selection. The piano trio by Misses Eleanor Beers, Bessie Archibald and Fannie Downs was prettily rendered.. The concert grand piano used at the concert was kindly loaned by Chickering & Son of New York. Of the recitations, it is only nee essary to say that they were exceedingly well rendered, ''Catching the Mouse" be- ing particularly pleasing. The receipts were for the benefit of the fund for re- pairiug the church and amounted to over $50 net. The program: | Piano Duo, La Polcherina, Fradel, Misses Louise Plumley and Eleanor Beers.
