The ball club of Western Maryland College
is prepared for the seasons contests, and the
boys have, club that they believe is little
stronger than any the college has ever had.
Frank W. Storey is the manager, and games
have been scheduled as follows:
SCHEDULE OF GAMES.
April 2l-Maryland Agricultural College,
at College Park.
April 2S-Pennsylyania College, at Gettys-
burg, Pa.
May 5-Johns Hopkins University, at
Westminster.
May 12-St. Johns College, at Annapolis.
May l9-Kendall College (mutes) at West
minister.
May 26-Maryland Agricultural College, at
Westminster.
June 2-Kendall College, (mutes) at Wash
ington, D. c.
June 9-Pennsylvania College, at West
minister.
June lest. Johns College, at Westmin-
ster.
The citizens of Westminster should take
an interest in the college club, and encourage
it by attending the games and applauding
their good work. Every other town backs
its college team, and Westminster should sus
tain the Western Maryland Club.

Choral Recital.

The monthly musical recital at Western
Maryland College, on the afternoon of the
18th inst, was one of more than usual inter-
est, four of the seven numbers which the pro-
gram comprised being given by the Choral
Glass. Fifteen sopranos, fifteen altos. hive
tenors and five bassos made up harmonious
company that poured forth melody in I'M
stinted measure. The Conspirators Chorus,
"Hence, Now Away from the opera, La
File de Madame Angot," rang out so clearly
and crisply as to prove the class in excellent
training and led one to anticipate still greater
things further on in the program. Miss
Blanche Murchison, of La Grange, N: T.,
played Mozart's Fantasia in d. Minor. This
young lady combines with her artistic con-
eeption of selection a technical ability that
makes her playing far above what one usually
hears from an amateur. The next chorus was
PinS,ai's "Spring Song, the poetry for which
he borrowed from the "After- Glow" but 1t
is very beautiful musical embodiment the
composer has given to the poets charming
little verses; and the choral class brought out
in full all the music there is in it. Miss
Lewis sang ''Knowest Thou The Land, from
Mignon, a selection that appeals strongly to
all lovers of vocal music, and Miss Lewis
sang it as she sings everything beautifully.
The chorus, 'The Bee and the Dove" was
followed by a piano solo, Wagaer- List
transcription, played excellently by Miss
Westlake. But the best number was reserved
for the last 1t was the Bridal Chorus, from
the Rose Maiden. This was sung superbly,
and the audience were so enraptured they
could not be content until they had heard it
second time.
