The Star concert given in the Young |
Mems Christian Association Hall on |
the evenings of the oath and 18th ult |
by the Bethel A. VI. +. Church was |
the grandest event of the season The
star OF the occasion was Miss Annie
Fisher, of New Bedford, whose superb
liz, rich soprano voice excelled any
that we have heard in this city lately.
So highly pleased were those who
heard her on the first night that they
we're more than anxious to hear her
the second time, and many regrette d
/ that engagements compelled her to
leave on the 18th.
! On the second evening Miss Fisher
was presented with a boQuet of flow
ers. Professor and Madame J. T.
Godett delighted the audience with
several of their choir Duets. The
Duet entitled Sinking Ship" sung by
the professor and his wife was roundly
applauded. Mr.. G A. Weems also
won for himself an eviable r putstion
as baritone as did many OF the other
artists. In fact. the whole of the en-
tertainment was grand success.

on the 10th, on her return from Balti-
more.
