PROF PLATES MUSICALE.
Proceeds for the Benefit of the Library. The Program in Full.

The annual musicale of the piano pu- pills of Prof C. $. Platt occurred at the Town hall on Tuesday evening of this week. It took the form of library ben eft, thi4 year, as the public library Is in need of new books, and Prof and Mrs Platt, always interested in this cause, did their utmost to make an enjoyable evenings entertainment. They were as- sisted by Miss Mabel Cummings and l.. F.. Vaughan, and the work of these art ists was of a high order and won merlted applause, proving the most interesting feature of the program. The attendance, about l7J, was not as large as 1t seems as if it should have been, when MT ana Mrs Platt had worked so hard, and for a public good. The program (which was lengthy one, and no one can say they didn't get their moneys wOrth), opened with An artists dream, an artistic and very tastefully arranged group of statues represented in an artists studio, where the sculptor was at his work. It was an excellent representation. lnterspersed with piano solos, Mr Iumlin made quite a hit with his school, Miss Mabel L.. Cummings gesture work and club swing ing were of the highest order, the Bella my .quadr,lle created quite ripple cf mcrrinenU with their faces on their backs, the little Japs were too funny for anything, and the male quartet compos- ed of Messrs Tomlin, Rodgers, Beers and Hall, rendered two very excellent selec- tions. Arthur |. Platt rendered very pretty violin solo and the work of Leslie E. Vaughan on the violin was par-eXcel- lence. He was repeatedly encored. Of the work of the pupils of Prof PlaUt, con sdering that most of them were very young and the difficult music they labor ed with, they did very well. Of the ad- vanced scholars, Misses Bessie Jonas and Fannie Scudder, played two very pretty selections. The evenings entertainment closed with short farce entitled "A premature proposal" after which an in- formal dance was enjoyed by number of the young people. Following is the program in fuli:
