A SOCIAL EVENT.
Features of a Delightful Musicale
| Given In This City.
| The musicale given by Mrs. Frederick
G. Earle Tuesday evening at the residence
of Colonel John E. Earle was one of the
most delightful events of the season. Mrs.
Earle was assisted in receiving her guests
by her sister, Miss Pauline Lyon, and Miss
Kate Percy Douglas of New York. The
entertainment offered was somewhat varied
from the usual and very much enhanced
by the quality Of talent which took part
Professor Ward of this city, both at the
piano in bis accompaniment and with the
cello in solos, performed with marked
good taste. Mrs. Thomas NJ. Prentice rem
dered her numbers at the piano with per-
feet finish, and expression The others
who made up the vocal portion of
the program were Miss Lyon,
Kellogg. Miss Lyons first selection
was an italian classic, difficult as it was
beautiful. It received in every way
treatment that impressed all with delight
full wonder at the range, control, method
and sweetness of her true contralto. In
her other numbers, too, song in English
and ballad, Miss Lyons even added, by
her graceful treatment of them, to the
proof that she is finished artistic.
Miss Kate Percy Douglas, the. soprano
who has for several years been known so.
favorably in New York city, showed that
her recent four years study in Europe has
much improved her voice because Of the
additional foreign training. Her part in
the program was very much appreciated
and enjoyed.
The most novel feature of the evening
was the work Of Mr.. Kellogg, production
of the voice, for the want of more ex-
plicit name, called warbling; but it was
not at all the sort of MARBLE university
town people are acquainted with, but q
kind of whistling, which, however, does
not depend on the lips to any extent for
aid, but is evolved from the vocal chords
and throat. The delicacy of the music is
remarkable; piccolo, flute and other reed
tones are readily produced, SO are the fine
bird like thrilling notes. Mr.. Kellogg, &C
companied by the piano, rendered two in
tricate selections with mastery precision
and remarkably pleasing effect. Mr.. Kel-
logg is to go to Europe soon, with the
world famous little bunch of jollity-Mar-
shall P. Wilder, and will prove valuable
addition to the little testers entertain
ments.
Among the large company present were
4 Colonel and Mrs. Earle, Mr.. Joel 4 Sper-
/ ~, wife and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
iamin r. English, General Ford and wife,
