ability. Miss Hawley, always a great
favorite here, rendered Millard's 'sWatch-
ing" with great effect. Miss Jennings,
in the ANGELS Serenade' and the duet,
s"The Flyaway Birdling,' showed a
voice of unusual sweetness. She has
contralto voice Itch In quality and depth.
Miss Leayenworth sang pretty ballad
from manuscript, composed by Miss
Moore, very sweetly. Mr. Hawley, in
the 'Old Guard sang bass solo in
voice only possible to but few. His
compass of voice is unusual and very
full and deep, lower c being taken with
ease. His masdolin solo was one of the
best numbers on the program. Mr.
Montgomery of Yale has full baritone
voice and sang his selection with effect,
giving much expression to the words.
In the bass solo, Calvary" P. Evans of
Yale won much deserved praise. He
has fine, clear and deep bass voice of
rare purity. The solo. though quite
difficult, was beautifully rendered and
will not easily be forgotten. The male
quartets were very pleasing and, with
out respect to the suggestion that en-
cores would not be in order, the quartets
were called out after each selection. In
the readings by Miss Bronson of Bridge
port, the audience were treated to the
work of an artist. So easy and grace
ful in her movements, foreible and effec-
tive In the recitation, she must always
est criticism. After the concert, those
taking part and their friends were invit-
ed to supper in the church parlors,
which was very bountiful and ''highly
interesting" The net profit of the con-
cert will be nearly 800, which will be
given to the ladies' aid society and as
sist them in their proposed plan of fres-
Going and otherwise improving the inter-
ior of the church. To those who so
generously lent their aid, by means OF
their advertisement upon the program,
we Trust our many friends will give a
good amount of their trade. Many
thanks are due Mr. Ripley for the pretty
souvenir program SO elegantly designed.
