Miss Ezollingsworth's Concert.

all of this place.
MISS Holllngsworth having, like al
most every other, contracted the pre-
yailing cold, was too hoarse to follow
the programme which had been laid
down. Other choice pieces were suug
by her which largely compensated those
omitted.
Our local artists are always kind and
prompt In giving their assistance on
such occasions, for which they deserve
and enjoy the thanks of this commu
nifty. In point of talent, they compare
fayorabiy with those of other towns
and villages. On the occasion here
spoken Of they acquitted themselves
with credit. Prof. r. Mayer is foo we'll
known as an artist to excuse indulgence
in encomiums. Miss Hollingsworth had
been fatteringly heralded by the press
from our principal cities, where she
had appeared, and the reading public
were quite prepared for just what they
heard
We would say she is distinguished
by one feature, which we do not often
discover in an artist. 1t is an indivil-
nality peculiarly her own, and which
il noticeable in The high pitches of her
voice. They are reached By her with
astonishing facility, and when reached
are sustained with faultless melody
and purity until we are absolutely as
tonlshed. Her modulations range with
admirable discrimination aud adapta-
ton to the inspiring thought, ftom the
falntest whisper to the swelling and far
reaching current of of.melody. In short,
we must add that, according to our
conceptions, Miss HollIngsworth is an
artist, we will not say such as Patti, or
sontag, or Jenny Lind, but of great
merit, and distinguishing individuality
--an individuality which we have not
seen in others, aud which crowns her
with the halo of admiration among all
who really appreciate sweet singer.
Miss HolliDgswortli donated gener-
GUS share of the proceeds to Fire Co.
No. !, and in response to suggestion
cheerfully signified her Willingness to
sing here again and donate half the pro-
ceeds to the public school building fund.
This she did last night, and IN the
name of all our people we tender her
our warmest thanks.
