THE PHILHARMONIC RECITAL

 The music loving world of Easton en- joyed rare treat. Wednesday evening, listening to the Easton Philharmonic so- ciety's recital, consisting principally of home talent, which did itself great credit in the 26 different exercises of the even ing, showing much study and careful preparation. The first recital proved both socially and financially success. Many of the members were in full dress, adding to Natures beauty. Several en- cores were cheerfully responded to. The quartets were under the drill of Walter Haywood of Bridgeport. The Weber pi- ano was rented of Alfred Fox of Bridge port and reasonably moved by w. H. Latin, truekman, to assist the cause: The Congregational church was hand somely decorated for the occasion the arch was festooned and arrayed with potted plants and hemlock boughs. The chandelier and gallery sides were neatly festoon with daisies and, in the back ground, were large letters E. P. s. Af- ter the recital all were invited to ice cream and cake at academy hall. The cash receipts were over $l00 and will probably net about $60, much to the sat- isfaction of all interested.

This arrangement was manipulated by a
