| charming and effective bit of writing, | Arthur Foote's B flat "Pastorale," and as closing number the Pilgrim Cho- rus' from "Tannhauser."
 | The organ numbers were interposed | with vocal selections by MT. Kenyon | of Hartford and Miss Fanny Olmstead | of Stamford. Miss Olmstead's selec- tions were i'll chosen for organ accom- paniments, but she has a pretty voice and some ideas about style. The effect to the sensitive ear would be more | pleasing if her interesting wanderings, both above and below the key, would | by way of further variety sing some i times on the key. She would then have three places for pitching her voice. She was accompanied by MT. Alexander Gibson, the well known organist of Danbury, and prominent member of | the association.
 MT. Kenyon of Hartford sang Hon or and Arms" from Handel's Samson" !" | Mr. Kenyon is a young man with a pleasing and promising voice. When he is older we shall look for a more even production from man who has so much to work with. Yesterday he was trif1e overweighted.
 THE PROMENADE. The promenade concert held by the association in the Hyperion in the eve- ming was in every way a success, more successful in many respects than the | promenade of last year.

There were on the program sixteen dance numbers, but by encores this was increased to twen- ty-one During each intermission the Yale Banjo club, seated under the pros cenium arch, played selections, each of which was received with prolonged ap- plause
 The decorations were in every way artistic and harmonious, pink and white being the predominating colors, which were draped in bunting along the box fronts and the gallery rail. At the back Of the stage a large piece Of scenery formed pretty background, against which was hung a large na- tional flag.
