UIso, the great v~iolinist, III whose company
she first achieved success. Three years ago

ing in praise of the gifted artist. Mr.. Miller,
Miss Hubbard, and Mr.. Mccall are all ar
lists of rare ability. 1t is evident that the

entertainment in every respect, and, aside
from the merits of the concert, the. cause for
which il is given will appeal to all and a
good sum be realized for the lib AIRY.
