cert which was Il gem in its way. The Sec
ond Baptist church choir rendered four ora
tario choruses I'm manner which reflected
great credit upon it and its director, Mr..
Walter {. Mercer. The choir is composed
of forty voices, tie parts being well bal
anced. They sing with precision and a
degree Of expression which rs surprls NJ,
considering they have been rehearsing but
a short time.
Mrs. Mauuder. who has become favor
ite singer. rendered two numbers with her
sweetness, and was compelled
To respond to encores. Mr.. Gordon, though
suffering with q cold, sustained his ieputa-
ton MS popular tenor. Mr.. Marshall. who
isWcil known as musical director, showed
that he was equally gifted rs vocal
ist. lie possesses a rich baritone voice,
which he uses very effectively. The So
pranO OF The evening, Miss Berger, was
warmly received. Her voice is highly
cultivated and OF great power and compass.
She is valuable addition 10 lichmonds
musical talent, and will undoubtedly be-
come popular. Mr.. Herbert l.. Rees PLAYED
