A Night of Pleasure.
TIE BAPTIST CHURCH PRESENTS
A CREDITABLE ENTER.
TAINMENT.
The Participants Acquit Themselves
Admirably Before a Good
sized Audience.

An entertainment was given Mon
day night at the Opera House for
the benefit Of the Baptist Church,
in which the best musical talent OF
our city regardless of church lines
or religious convictions participated.
The beauty Of Mexico's musical
talent, art and oratory is, that all
join heart, song and sympathy in
anything that contributes to Mex
ico's prosperity or her peoples
pleasure. The musical part of the
programme was under the direction
of Prof. w. NJ. Treloar, the veteran
vocalist, musician and manager of
musical society. When the joyous
entertainment closed. it was a query
which had contributed most to the
heighth of our happiness the melody
of music or the grace, elegance and
eloquence Of Miss Sara Greenleaf
| Frost's Rotations. Miss Frost is
the gifted teacher of elocution at
Hardin College, and her graceful
carriage, modesty Of manner and
perfection in her chosen pursuit
shows plainly on the young ladies
OF the college who are her pupils.
She is certainly gifted. She moved
the vast audience at will.
The first number on the pro-
gramme was a chorus of fourteen
voices, which set the high musical
standard for the evening.
The second was a quartette. How
the memories of many musical treats
came trooping up when Mrs. Hen
rietta Gooch-Voorhies and Mrs.
Mary Guthrie Evans and Mrs.
Beulah Williams-Jesse appeared in
song, chorus and solo as the pro-
gramme proceeded.
Mrs. J. C. Allendorf sang a beau
tiful solo, "Sing, Pretty Birds" and
rivaled the merry songsters of the
grove in the clearness of her tones.
Miss Pearl Williams played a
violin solo with her sister, Mrs.
Jesse, at the piano. They each
played with their usual ease and
composure.
One of the very prettiest things of
the evening was the solo, ga Pretty
GIRL" by Miss Flora Ringo. Miss
Ringo is one of Mexico's favorite
musicians, and the vivacity of her
sweet voice always calls for an en-
core and prolonged applause.
Mrs. A. X. Yancey gave us "An
Angels serenade" with pretty Miss
Patton accompanying her on her
violin. Miss Patton plays with
grace and accuracy and shows decid-
ed talent. She is a student of Prof.
Kuemmel, who is one of the most
proficient of the many must
cal directors of Mozart Conservatory
of Hardin College.
Miss Mabel Hord came before the
foot lights amid a most hearty ap-
plause. She has often. captivated
her hearers in the realm of song and
is very graceful. She suffered from
sore throat last night, but acquitted
herself with honor amid the ap-
plause of a crowded house.
If we knew how to describe the
effect of Miss Frost's recitation upon
the audience we would try to tell it,
} but we cannot. She is the most
perfect elocutionist who has ever
taught in our city. She depicted
at her will the emotions Of love,
anger, ambition, merriment and
| jealousy and made her audience
feel them all. Space will not allow
the names of many others who per.
haps are equally gifted in song as
those we have named. 1t was q
grand entertainment for a good
cause and the Baptist people and
the public return thanks.
d The entertainment cleared about
S45 On.
