dred voices did very pleasing work and
showed excellent drill. The concerts of

we would mention the male quartette of

ed two very difficult soprano solos, show
ing voice of clear and pleasing quail
ties. Mrs. III. w. Buchanan's songs,
with banjo accompaniment, We're heartily
encored and added much to the enjoy
ment of the occasion. Mr.. Nav was
present and sung in his usual pleasing
manner Miss Maud Murkland of Bar
ton, was present and took part in the
evening concert, much to the pleasure of
all. Miss Murkland has a voice of rare
and wonderful richness, brilliancy and
execution, seldom seen in one Of her age
We predict successful future for Miss
Murkland which will place her as one of
New England's best artists The cornet
solo of Mr.. Batchelder, and the readings
by the Misses Paddock helped to make
the occasion one to be remembered. The
committee report all bills paid and $50
