The concert and pianoforte recital at
Park Congregational Church, Thursday
evening, was fitting grand finale to
| the Colwel midsummer festival. An
! immense audience was present, not
outstanding the sutfocating heat. The
program was opened by rendering of
| Wagner's "RlenZI' overture. on two
pianos, by Mrs. Phelps and Mrs. Sick
etee, Misses Smith and HOyt. THIS
WAS considered the instrumental
piece of the evening. The other
| instrumental numbers especially
notable, were the "Tarentelle," 10y
Brull, played by Misses Nellie Carroll
and Jennie Pond; LISTS "La Gondoli-
era" and Prudents' Ecu Follet,"
played by Mrs. Pearl White; the pipe
| organ'solo "Otfertoire de st. Ce:ilia,"
by Batlste, played by Miss Lizzie
! Schuster, OF Ionia, and Hummel's
Rondo from Sonata op. 90. played by
j. w. Phelps and Mrs. j. G. Steketee,
with organ accompaniment arranged
| by Prof Colwel.
The piano quartette, "Bolero Fan
fare" by Van-Calt, played by Misses
Hattie and Blanche Orser and Misses
Pratt and Bixby, at one instrument,
was novel featgre and was we'll rem
dered. Miss Schuster proved herself
promising young organist; she handled
the great organ with skill. The other
| iRstrumentaIistS of the evening were
Misses Sophia Am5erg, Clara Pound,
Rosie and AddIe Lean, Lulu Owen,
| Allie Holt, Maud Tucker, Daisy Wag-
4 ner, Maud Cary and Marguerite Col
well. The younger pianistes all made
their debuts with assurance and grace.
Miss Marie Noble, the brilliant young
soprano, distinguished herself IN three
solos, the Flower Song" from
Faust" Mcclure" by Chadwick, and
81 Wonder" by j. Francis Campbell.
These three pieces gave her Il chance TO
display her naturally good voice and
fine style. Mrs. ReubenlPeterson who
is better known to Grand Rapids music
lovers, also sang three songs in her
usual pleasing manner. She filled one
number in place OF Il. A. Benekcr, the
tenor, who was too i'll 10 be present.
Clarence 4. Cotton. the young basso,
| who sings at the Westminster Presby-
terlan Church, was kindly received by
an enthusiastic audience. The hearty
applause can De passed as a criticism on
| his singing. He was the only sOloSt of
the festival, who was received with ap-
plause on appearing, with the excep-
ton Of l.. =. Eddy on Monday evening.
On ascending 10 the organ loft for the
last number, Mrs. j. O.. Steketee. on
behalf of the pupils, presented Prof.
COlwell with an elegant and costly
basket of flowers, whereupOn the APP
plause was loud and long.
