Rare Treat.

The elecution. recital and concert
given at the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall last night,
a programme of which appeared In yes

of merit the success OF the season. Miss
Leahy, the elocutlonist OF the evening,
and one of Richmond's fairest daugh-
ters, is one of the most finished artistic
that Norfolk has ever seen. Her dialec-
tic work, consisting OF Italian. German
and darkey representations. drew forth
tremendous applause, while the more
dainty recitations, such as the MAR
riagc of the Flowers" and numerous
encores. were rendered in thoroughly
artistic style. The closing piece, Miss
Leahy mpersonating Mary Stuart In
the VI. scene of Schiller's great tragedy.
was the masterpiece of the evening, and
was rendered in Il queenly manner. Her
facial expressions were indicative of the
soul thrown into the work. Miss Leahy
is an honor to her profession and old
Virginia is proud to claim such an ac-
complished daughter Miss Mamie Ma
gee, the soprano of the evening, render
cd several beautiful selections. Her
voice is full of pathos and sweetness.
Miss Pattee the pianist, scored quite a
success. Frank Cunningham, Jr, of
Richmond, contributed to the vocal sue
cess of the evening.

Boy Singer" has in him the making OF
Il beautiful tenor voice, and his selec-
ton, THE Church Just Over the Way
