MUSIC ARD DRAMA.
ORGAN RECITAL.

ORGAN RECITAL,

Congress square church Saturday, drew the
usual large and appreciative audience. The
soloist of the recital was Mrs. Charlotte
Kennara of New York. Mrs. Kennard

less been long trained in church music. The
| lady was evidently suffering severely from
the nervousness consequent on appearing
before strange audience and impaired a
very unpleasant tremoto, at the same time
that 1t seemed to affect her singing in other
ways. She was very pleasantly received and
her first number was encored, the lady re-
sponded with Thy Will Be Done" MIR.
Duncan's playing showed all those qualities
OF which we have before spoken. His rem.
dering Of the anddnte from the Beethoven
fifth symphony, and the little Thomas qarotte
were especially pleasing and the latter was
encored. During the recital Rev. DIR. Blan-
chard said that those who desired a repeti-
ton OF any number at a future recital could
notify Mr.. Duncan at Bath.
Miss Florence 81. Knight, soprano. and
Miss Eva Goodwin. violinist, will appear
next Saturday.
