The concert by the Lowell string quar-
tette on Thursday evening, the 10Th, was
quite musical success, but the atten-
| dance was not what 1T should have been.
The quartette has worked hard this win
ter and is making a commendable effort
| to improve the standard of musical taste
in this community.
The numbers rendered by the quar-
| tette were well received BY the audi
ence and showed great improvement ov-
| er what they done in former appearance
| es. The singing of Mrs. w. Fl. Litch-
! field must have been highly satisfactory
to her friends and an agreeable surprise
| to such of the audience as had never be-
| fore heard her. Her rendition of Tosti' S
| 'Beauty's Eyes" was credit to herself
| and pleasure to her listeners. The
violin obligato by Mr.. Lowell added
| greatly to the enjoyment of this number.

encored. She is but 10 years old and yet
