last week called out large number of
musicians from this part of the coun-
ty,and proved a very profitable meet
ing. Mr.. May of ST. Johnsbury, who
was advertised as leader, was taken
sick the last of the week and could not
be present. The managers decided to
invite Mrs. Causbrook, who had been
engaged as pianist, to lead the con-
vention, and she surprised everybody
in the ability shown. She proved
thoroughly competent and most eff
Gent. She is not only fine pianist
and musician, but lady and direct
or who ranks superior to some who
have led conventions of more preten
sions. The chorus was large and en-
braced many of the best musicians in
the county and vicinity. The orches-
ira consisted of Mr.. Kline, cornet;
Mr.. Blair, clarinet; Ned Young, Mr..
Shaw and Mr.. Chamberlin, violins;
Mr.. White, bassviol; Mr.. Carpenter and
others and rendered valuable assist
ance both in chorus and in solo parts;
Miss Ruth Colby of Newport presided
at the piano and did the work most
acceptably. Mrs. Newland of New
port, soprano soloist, added to her
reputation as a fine singer. Special
mention should be made of Miss Lena
Dewey of Barton, who read several
pieces much to the pleasure of all
present. Mrs. Shaw, Miss Ethel Bick-
| ford and Florence Tower, also of Bar
/ ton, were complimented for their
was very pleasant and useful con-
vention The local musicians, who
were instrumental in getting it up,
may take much pride in it's success.
