The second musical entertainment given
by the musical department of the Baptist
Female College, under the charge of Prof.
Raphael Rooster, was given at the college
chapel. last Monday night.
The evening was not very inviting. A
March wind, wild as a hare, swift as a
jack rabbit, and as uncertain as the tenn
per OF a mule was wracking things, aud
gust after gust came sweeping up the
streets or whizzing around the corners In
a manner that was a holy terror to
~womankind and n constant menace to
men with hats on.
Notwithstanding the breeziness OF this
gentle March zephyr a large audience
was soon assembled, and ere long were
in total forgetfulness of the wind and its
bowling outside.
The first number on the program was n
piano duet, Symphony No. l, first move
ment, Beethoven. This was played by
Miss Birdie Wallace and Prof. Rooster.
1t was brilliantly executed and won much
merited applause.
Miss Lilly Hopper hen charmed the
a udience by singing, with good voice and
6ewitching manner, Heart Fancies, by
Thomas.
Number three was a Sonatine in G
NJ ajor, Beethoven, by Miss Maude Fulton.
TIL ia was played most exquisitely, and
won a hearty encore, which was responded
to by the temperance of the brilliant
young pianist, which only served to
increase her popularity.
Miss Kate Smock her favored the
audience with a violin solo, a Fantasia,
from Norma, by Winner, which was well
received.
Loves Dream was effectively sung by
Miss Cosette Keller, who is and forever
will be a great favorite with Lexing-
tonians.
Som nambula, Leyhack, was well played
by Miss Jennie Dysart,, who displayed a
delicate touch and good technique.
1.-THE f irst QUARREL recitation, was
happily rendered by Miss Winifred Lam
dis, whose Evolutionary training has been
most excellent. Miss Lands has a clear,
well-modulated voice and a high concep-
ton of her. study. These, with a very
handsome figure, and a beautifully poised
head, made an attractive number indeed.
Hearts Springtime, Wickede, was sung
by Miss Lizzie Vaughn, in a spirited
m amer, that won. for her a storm of APP
plause at its close.
The piano trIo,t''The Coming Spring"
Oesten, was beautifully played by Misses
Fulton, Brown and Wallace.
There are fewer &C mrositions that in
volve more hard work to get music and
harmony out off, them than Godard's
Mazourka, but Miss Annie Louise Hick-
man had it for the:.,tenth number and
brought all that was good out OF it. Miss
Hickman has bothltalent and persever-
ance and her playing OF this measure
indicated a vigorous use of both gifts.
The eleventh number. contemplated, a
violin solo by Miss Birdie Wallace, but
was changed to a rich, delightful soprano
solo by Miss Berta Richardson, who fairly
swe pit the audience off its feet with n OF
her CHI DIGEST selections. Miss Richardson
is always q favorite, and this time won
additional laurels.
Miss Bessie Wallace's Sunset, Dudley
Buck, was charmingly sung, n the
hearty applause at che close indicated the
high appreciation of her many admirers.
''The Fire at Nolan's," a recitation by
Miss Minnie Spurgeon, was one oil the
captivating numbers Of the evening. This
ne.elocutionist had studied her part well
and soon had the audience amused and
entertained. In vain the audience claimed
another, but Miss Minnie was polite and
obdurate, so the scene shifted to the next,
which was a sonata Pathetique, Beethoven,
played by Miss Veda Cunningham in her
best and most exquisite style.
A vocal duet "We'n go and seek" eau
pana, by Misses Sallie and Minnie Will
liams, closed the entertainment. 1t was
enchantingly done, n left n pleasant
feeling with all.
This much in conclusion. The music
department of B. F. G. is in good hands
and vast mnroyemen 10 hainp made
