I'm MUSICAL CIRCLES
Excellent Work Friday Night by Dr..
Bisohofrs Pupils
Conversational Church Crowded With
Their Friends-The Choral
0ociety's Plans.

Probably the First Congregational Church
never held q larger or more interested aud
fence than was present last Friday night to
listen to the annual concert Of DR.. Bischoffs
pupils. The program was quite a lengthy
one. embracing Twenty-Five numbers. and
was intended to present the best OF those
who had received their musical instruction
under DR.. Bischoff. The most OF them ac-
quilted themselves with great credit. and
the applause of the audience showed the
qualification which their efforts inspired.
There were three organ numbers. by Mrs.
Alice Kimball. Edna Fitch and Nellie King
which were extremely well given. and indi-
Gated on the part OF each an aptitude for
organ work. OF the female soloists the best
were Miss Dorothy Byrd Rogers. who sang
the Grand Aria from Der Freischutz' ar
tistically and effectively; Miss Cora Boyd.
the soprano Of the church. who sang three
ballads. one Of which was Mr.. d. @. Pfeif-
fer's Love Came to Me-" Miss Florence
McNelly. the contralto Of the church. who
gave the Russian Nightingale" In excel
lent style: Miss Reu Rueckert. who sang
"Rossinrs Una voce POGO Fa." and Mrs. H.
c. Browning. who sang the Grand Aria
from Verdfs La Traviata."
All the gentlemen sang WELL the most ef-
feetive. perhaps. being Mr.. Fred Brandt.
Mr. Gilbert A. Clark scored an encore in
Hatton' laughing song. Mr.. Elphonzo
Youngs. tr.. gave Dudley Bucks creole
lovers song In spirited manner. and Mr.:
Melville Hensey displayed a tenor voice Of
good quality in Mattei's Amo. Altogether.
the exhibition was one of the most salts
factory that DIR. Bischor has given. 1t
was proved by the fact that but few Of the
audience retired before the conclusion of
the program. which was not until after IL
O'Clock. Regret was expressed at the nom
appearance of Mrs. Shr-Clir, who was
suffering from a sore throat and could not
sing. .--.I

arranging TO take that opera to several

most confidence that the opera will meet

derstood that Baltimore. Philadelphia and
New York Will. at least. be tried.
