 If there ever fingered in the mind of any skeptic doubt as to the appreciation of music by Birmingham citizens surely the splendid audience of 2500 people which packed the First Methodist church on last Sunday evening left no further uncertainty on the subject. Blrming- ham as a community loves music, and | loves the highest and best form of 1t. | The audience which gathered Sunday | night, notwithstanding the intense July l heat, atteSted this with the keenest ap- | preciation of the splendid programme, | which was rendered by many of the most gifted and accomplished of Birmingham musicians under the direction of Miss
 Belle Mccoy. The selections were all | very superior, and were admirably
 adapted to the different voices. The solos | and concerted pieces were beautifully | rendered, and Miss Mccoy on the organ | and MT. Seals on the cornet accompa- nleu the VocallStS With very me taste l and judgment.
 Mrs H. H. Sinnige and Mrs. Clara | Louise Fraley of Nashville charmed the | immense audience with the exquisite cul- | tivation of their beautiful voices. Miss | Lottie Coffin and Miss Ruffner added to | their well earned laurels, and MT. James | Bowron, MT. Orr, MT. Cartwright, MT. | w. II. Smith, with the other members of | the choir, contributed towards a rarely | delightful musical evening. There was great curiosity to hear Miss Ethel Houston sing after her years study at northern conServatorieS, and her friends were much gratifed at the progress she has made, and predict for her future of limitless possibilities after she completes her course of train ing.
 The quality, tone and depth of Miss HouSton'S voice is very unusual, and with her natural ambition she will cer- tainly accomplished much with the ad- vantages of study which are now hers. Miss Houston's friends feel the sincerest great things of her. Her singing Sunday evening gave very much pleasure. It Is to be hoped that Miss Mccoy will | arrange similar musical evenings during | the summer. She will certainly con- | tribute to the pleasure of the entire com | munity by so doing.
