The Los Angeles University.
There was very large crowd in the
assembly hall of the Los Angeles uni
yersity, on Monday evening, to hear the
annual recital given by the musical de-
partment of this institution. Congratu-
lations should be rendered to the Misses
Rider for the excellent way in which the
pupils equipped themselves, the exer-
cises throughout showing excellent taste
and careful training. The only talent
not belonging to the school were Mrs.
BeesOn, who sang two selections, and
Harry S. Williams, who sang "Creole
Lovers Song" to which he was COM
PEELED to answer with an encore. Mr..
Williams has just returned from New
York, where he has been studying
music, and although previously having
an excellent voice, he has very much
improved. The programme as rendered
was as follows:
Fantaisie de Mozart, hands (Czerny)
Misses Flora, Brock and Burton; piano
solo, LIE Reveil du Lion (de Konski)

alton (Boekelman), Mr.. Warren, Miss

ming Song (Wagner-Liszt), Miss Kate
Rider; Finale des Frieschutz (Weber),

The rendering by the Misses Rider OF
Mozart's concerto, Op. 83, was enough
to displace any doubt that might be
held as to their capability in the pro-
fession. Miss Phelps in her execution
of "Le Reyeil du Lion'' showed herself
to be pupil OF great merit and ability.
Miss Overton and others did well, and
the musicale was a decided success.
