a thoroughly enjoyable aHair and one
which speaks much for the musical cul-

Il. Smoot, on Mangum street, the par
ticipants being the music pupils of Miss
Willie Smoot, nineteen in number and
representing every grade of musical de-

Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather, the limited number of i'm
mediate friends who were invited to be
present, arrived on schedule time, and by
o'clock, the hour named, the large par
lOr was comfortably filled.
Professor Middleton, of the Durham
Female Institute, entered heartily into
the spirit of the occasion and contributed
much to the evenings entertainment. He
not only introduced the performers as
the programme called for a vocal solo,
piano recitation or duet, but made the
speech of his life in the presentation of
prizes won by Misses Bradsher and
O'Brien, for practicing the greatest num-
/ =
surprise as much TO the young ladies
themselves as to the audience, and formed
link in the chain of pleasant incidents.
The following programme, with the
exception of the "Minuet," and Third
Meditation" the young ladies who were
to have rendered these being absent on
account of sickness, was so arranged that
} all pupils could have an opportunity to
show their friends what they were doing
in the way of musical progress and mus
ical development:

nature has endowed them in an unusual
= degree. The performances of Miss Nellie
,. Rawls, Celia Bradsher Bertie TOmIiuson
the boys and the little tots, were also
i highly creditable, and with the exception

part of few of the less disciplined and
> less confident beginners, the programme

audience with one of her fine vocal Sc
Il lections, which was much enjoyed and
L Miss Smoot gave evidence of her com
plete mastery over the instrument al
which she presided in a piano recitation

c and can not only direct but execute.

i yenir, and all voted the soiree musicale
