evening was great success, "Our Air" " | by Miss Gaffney was then rendered and | received quite an ovation from the
 large audience whom she quite capti-
 vated by her singing of within 8 Mile O Edinburgh Town" She had to reap | pear, and was the recipient of hand some basket of flowers. Miss Horlocker, who is quite favorite here, also and
 she, too, received a warm welcome, and
 more than charmed all by her rendering,
 accompanying herself on the piano, of | Sweet GenevieVe." Miss Mary Dudley Burke is entitled to more than pass | ing remark for the masterly manner in
 which she executed Burns Address to
 a Haggis." Her impersonation of the | broad Scottish doric was indeed won | der, and showed that she must have given Burns and the Haggis" more than the usual rehearsal required to the ordinary recitation pieces. Miss Bertha Behrens, violinist of New York, made her first bow before a New Haven au- dience. She is tall, stately and
 pleasant looking young lady, and to use her own words. is a true American bred and born. The audience was more
 than delighted with her playing, and
 as she played Bessie, the Maid of Dun-
 dee," her hearers were so attentive that
 he proverbial pin could have been heard
 had it fallen. Her playing might have
 been summed up as follows: Intonation
 good, lowing excellent, tone full and
 round and expression exquisite. Of the
 two male artists MT. Reiger and MT
 Miles little need be said. The former is
 well known in New Haven as a tenor
 of the first class. His rendering of the
 Scotch melodies last night made him
 worthy of place amongst the expo- nents of Scottish songs. His rendering of 70 Sing to Me the Old Scotch Songs" and Mary of Argyle" were almost per feet. MT. Miles, who brings with him first class reputation as a baritone, clearly showed his claim to that title and we have no hesitation in saying that he will be warmly welcomed to New Ha- ven again. MT. Richard T. Percy of New York. and late Of New Haven, was an efficient accompanist. The con cert proceedings was brought to a close by the large audience singing Burns world wide song, "Auld Lang Syne."
