THE HENDRiCKSoN RECITAL

The recital given by the pupils of Mrs.
S. T. HepdTickson last evening was one OF
the most successful recitals given in the
city for some time Quite number of in
vited guests were present. The recital
was held in the spacious and elegantly
furnished parlors of the residence of DR..
Croskey on North Market street. At
o'clock the recital was opened with the
first number on the program, an overture
from Figaro, for four hands, which was
played in brilliant style by Misses Belle
Noble and Stella Wilson. This was fol-
lowed by selection by Miss Nellie Park
hurst and was nicely executed. Arrow
With the Bow" by JOSIE Kiefer, was well
received. The next number on the pro-
gram was guitar solo by Miss Agnes
Croskey Mrs Hendrickson teaches gui-
tar playing as we'll as the piano forte, and
her pupils reflected credit upon Mrs Hend
rickson as teacher. Miss Croskey has
good control over the instrument and
brings out good music. Cupid and the
Bells" was well given by Miss Rose West
gate. A schottische by Streabbog, played
with four hands by two little Misses, Lola
Kracaw and Ethel Woodcock was well re-
ceived. 1t was played with life and in ex-
cellent time. One of the most pleasing
parts of the program were the two num-
bers played by Miss Stella Wilson. Miss
Wilson played with an ease and elegance
that is seldom equalled by persons OF her
age. Her touch and time, the two great
elements which are necessary qualifica-
tions for a successful musician, are good

vitation to the Dance" by Weber, very
difficult number, was also well executed
by Miss Wilson. Her aspirations are to be
a piano forte teacher and under the effic-
lent care of Mrs. Hendrlckson, the young
lady will surely reeli her desires at a
not far distant day.
Ginning Bells" by Biehl was we'll
performed by Master Clarence Smith. Mas
ter Clarence succeeded in putting consid-
cradle feeling into his playing.
A waltz by Ethel Woodcock was the
next next number which received good
share Of the applause. This was followed
by another duet, and the Misses Avanel
Westgate and Lola Kracaw did them
selves proud in successfully rendering

young ladies' did exceedingly well, and
this duet was voted one of the best num-
beers on the program.
Il Think of Thee" was excsllently played
by Miss Carrie Weaver.
A selection by Hayden, executed upon
the guitar by Mrs. c. Keller, was a de-
lightful feature of the excellent program.
Avancl Wesugate played "Mgnonette"
with considerable grace and elegance, not
falling to observe the proper expression
and feeling which heightened the effect.
Fur Elise" by Beethoven, us played by
Miss Lola Kracaw, was exceptionally
well rendered. Only by combining two
things can beginner be brought to play
like this and that is by having a good,
thorough teacher and by honest and faith
full practice Miss Lolo has done good
work.
''Allegretto," by Hayden, was finely
executed by Miss Sue Parkhuurst. While
it is somewhat embarrassing for some to
play in public this way, Miss Parkhurst
shows good training and displays the fact
that she possesses good tempo.
Electric Flash Gallop for four hands, was
played by Mrs Hendricksou and Master
Clarence Smith. This was played with a
fire and dash that was refreshing and sue
ceeded in pleasing the audience immense
Iy. IL was one of the best numbers of the
evening.
One of Mrs. Hendrickson's most promis-
ing pupils, Hazel Smith, was unable
to be at the recital on account of
Last evenings recital was
very successful one and every one who
was so fortunate to be there asserted that
they enjoyed the recital ever SO much.
