20 Italia" Donizetti
1t needs but a glance at the above
programmes to prove the musical
merit of the entertainments. The
way in which the chorus rendered
such selections as "The Heavens are
Telling" Damascus March, Cru
saders Hymn, To Thee, o Country,
and Italia was especially inspiring
while the quieter chorus numbers
were given with creditable regerd
for shading and expression and
the effect of the grand combina-
ton of voices and orchestra was ad-
mirable. The trio i'll the first named
chorus was sustained by Mrs. Silsby
of Littleton, Mr.. Fleetwood of Nor
risville and Mr.. Foster of Woodbury..
The presence of Mrs. Silsby, Mrs.
Parker and Miss Parker of Littleton
added not a little to the quality OF
the programme; their trios, their
quartettes with Mrs. Humphrey,
and their quntette with Mr.. Silsby
were among the finest features, and
Miss Parker's solo singing was
thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Graham
of Brooklyn has a flexible voice OF
clear quality and her solos merited
the encores they received, The re-
appearance of three members of the
Ceciian Quartette with Mrs,
Humphrey was pleasure to the au-
dience and their singing was cor
daily applauded. Miss Shufelt and
Miss Penniman sang with plea sing
effect, and were each obliged to re-
spond to encores. Miss Trainor's
clear soprano voice is not often
heard in public here, and her solo on
this occasion was enjoyed.
The Mahogany Quartette were
down for two numbers, but their
more taking selection, the Tiger oil
Tangaree, unfortunately had to be
omitted their "Bugle Song was
nicely given. Mr.. Fleetwood inter
preted "Genevieve" pleasingly
Messrs. Foster and Pollard have
good bass voices, but hardly did
themselves justice in their solos on
this occasion.
Mr.. Young handles the bow with
remarkable skill for so young play
er, and his violin solo at each con-
cert was given very appreciative en-
core. Miss Eaton's graceful per
formance on the piano, Mrs. Harris
excellent Interpretation of "Ernani'
and the piano duets by Mrs. Frost
and Mrs. Stanley and Miss Stone
and Mrs. Mackinnon gave a pleas
ant variety to the programmes and
evidenced great deal of skill at the
keyboard. The duet by the Messrs
Atwood at the matinee was well
sung and the audience called them
back.
Mrs. J. w. Sault presided at the
piano in all the chorus work and ac.
companied also the violin solos and
several other features of the pro
gramme. Mrs. Harris, Miss Ely O.
Barre, Mrs. Stanley, and Mrs
H. S. Dole of Danvile also appeared
as accompanies at the concerts.
