THE ORGAN REcITAL.

with the organ recital at the Calvary I Baptist church. With the business
 meeting earlier in the afternoon only the great minds of the association are
 at present concerned. What destinies
 these fates will weave us will be divug-
 ed later, The intention is to make the
 standard of the concerts a little higher
 each year until they become like the
 Worcester and Springfield festivals
 The programs are excellent this year,
 and great credit is due the officers who
 had them in charge.
 The organ recital was very largely .I attended. People stood in the aisles and at the back of the church. The performers should feel the compliment that this implies. Among the perform
 CTS our own Harry Jepson deserves the al greatest credit His playing of the Bach and Guilmant selections was per \ fectly satisfactory In point of view of 4 technique, registration and conception. I This was also his first appearance as ,l composer. His Minuet is a charming work. The theme is bright and sponta- neous, and is carefully developed. It is one of the prize compositions of which we shall hear more tomorrow morning. Willis IT. filling played his two selec- tipns we'll. He has improved under s. 1 P. Warren's teaching and is gaining a certain repose which is absolutely nec~' essary to perfect playing The last movement of the Rheinberger Sonata might have been little clearer, but 1t is fugue that bothers the best. MT Charles Fl. Johnson is well known as a reliable organist, s. Clarke Lord ofT Hartford gave fine rendition of Lem mems "Pontifcale." The march was perhaps little too choppy. The solo, ists were Miss Ellen Hofer and Miss Treat. Miss Hofer has beautiful voice and is one of Madame Bjorksten's most' promising pupils. Miss Treat sang charmingly, the Schumann Lieder be-1 ing particularly good. MT. filling wass the accompanist. No one who either' plays or teaches the piano should miss Mr. Parsons lecture tomorrow morn ing.
