Thursday. Capt. Brooks was a mem
Der of the Bradford Guards during it's
first campaign in the war of the rebel
ion and was captain in the 4th Ver-
mont Regiment, later. After the war
he went through college at Dartmouth
and studied law with Gov. Farnham.
He has been in Syracuse for more than
twenty years and is among the leading
men of that city.
The ladies of the Congregational
society propose to give another first
class entertainment at the church, Fri
day, August 10th. The entertainment
is styled an organ recital because one
of its main features will be the play
ing of the organ by Prof. Charles Ell.
Morse of Brooklyn, N. Y, organist
and musical director of Plymouth
church, formerly Henry Ward Beech
er's church, in that city. Prof. Morse
was formerly professor of music and
director of the college of Music" at
Wellesley, Mass, and organist at Ire
mont Temple, Boston, and for seven
years was the director of the North
western conservatory at Minneapolis,
MINI. He was president of the New
York Music Teachers Association
which lately met at Buffalo, and is
well known author and composer. He
has received the degree of Mus. or
Bachelor of music. We speak of these
matters so that our citizens may under
stamp in advance to some extent, how
great treat they are likely to enjoy i'll
listening to Prof. MOrse's wonderful
playing upon the grandest mu steal in
strument-the organ-and the one that
has the widest range of expression and
makes the strongest appeal to all the
emotions of the human heart when un
der the touch of a master hand. We
promise an entertainment of the very
highest order not only from Prof.
Morse but from the other artists who
are TO take part in the concert. Our
musicians will remember Prof. Morse's
fine playing upon the organ here few
years ago. Miss Julia F. May who
sang SO charmingly last Friday even
ing will add by her fine voice to the
delight OF the occasion. Some of our
readers already know and others will
be interested to know that Miss Nays
early home and birthplace were less
than six miles from Bradford and that
she is the youngest child of Hon. Elisha
May of Blood Brook valley, West Fair
lee, for many years leading and infu-
entail man i'll eastern Vermont. To
those who have heard Miss May sing
on the two occasions when she has been
here before we need not say anything
in praise of her fine voice and brilliant
execution. To those who have not
heard her we will simply say that she
is member of the quartette choir of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, was pu-
pill of the New England Conservatory,
Boston, and later of the greatest bari
.one this country has ever produced,
George Sweet. Miss May has won
great success in opera and oratorio
The St. Paul Globe speaks i'll the fol-
owing high terms of praising her sing
ng in that city.
"To lovers of the centralto voice the |
inging of Miss May must give almost COM
,lete satisfaction. With tones of great pu.
ity and notes of liquid sweetness she com
lines spontaneity that is delightful: she
ings as though fairly Overlooking with
music, but withal she displays a thorough
of her powers, evidently
moving their limit and not approaching
90 near it. Fortunately training and study
ave not made her mechanical in her meth
DIS and her hearers thus have the full ben
fit of singularly sweet voice unhampered
y professional tricks"
Besides the two artists named Mr..
Walter A. Low of New York, former
' a member of the Amherst College
flee Club, and member of the choir
f one of the leading New York church
5, will add the rich melody of his
owerful voice to the enjoyment of the
ccasion and Miss leila Pauline Blake
, will contribute the vivid notes of
er violin that together with her mod
IT and ladylike bearing always so
harm her audiences in Bradford as
ell as in New York city. That the
may be complete and
lily rounded out to the entire salts I
lction of all who listen Miss Edith
3. Jones will give two of her charac
,ristic recitations. We hardly need
" that Miss Jones is the Youngest {
aughter of the eminent homeopathic I
hysician, Julian III. Jones, NJ. d and
rs spent considerable Tina in train {
g in her art.
