The music at First Presbyterian
church on Sunday last was furnished
by a quartette consisting Of Miss Lydia
Sailer, Miss Lille Josephs and Messrs
Abrahams and Richards, and the se-
lections were rendered In commendable
manner notwithstanding the short no.
tice upon which the quartestte had been
formed. One week from tomorrow
Prof. John #. Watkins will take charge
or the music at the church and will
be the director until after Easter Mr..
watkins will organize and drill a double
quartette which will render the Easter
programme. His engagement, however.
Will only be temporary as he expects to
60 abroad few weeks hence.
Mrs. G. Du b. Dimmick, who has for
several years been recognized as one
Of the leading sopranos of the valley
has been mentioned as the probable
soloist In the new otlartette at the, First
Presbyterian church Mrs. Dipnmick
was for some time solo soprano at the
Second Presbyterian church and has
been favorably known in concert work.
OF late she has been a member OF the
quartette at Dunmore Pre- sbyterian
church. Mrs. Dmmick will no doubt be
heartily welcomed upon her return to
the musical coterie OF Scrant ,n where
her clear, sweet soprano voice has ever
been admired.
Last Saturday afternoon the former
choir Of the First Presbyteria an church
sat for group photograph ct Grif-
ms and they have secured most per-
fect picture. The choir met last even
ing In Mr. MorgAns room in the Young
Mems Christian association buiioing,
and organized into a glee so,,iety, and
VIII meet at the same place every Fri
day evening for rehearsal under the
direction of Mr.. Morgan. Th,, choir is
too good an organization to disband,
and the public will hear some fl ne music
from them in the near future.
Miss Elsie Van De Voorti SOLO con-
tralto at Elm Park Methodist church,
will be among the vocalist D who will
take part in the benefit co acert to be
given for John T. Watkins n February
q. Miss Van De Voort's magnificent
voice has been greatly slinired in
church work during her eng n ngement in
this city. but has never be, m heard to
good advantage in the ligh ter concert
selections. 1t Is probable that Miss
Van De Voorf's solos will be among
the most delightful nimbe rs upon the
programme at the coming concert.
