 Notes.
 The entertainment given in the chap el of the Grand avenue Baptist church on Tuesday evening was patronized by a good sized audience considering the threatening weather, and much appre- citation was manifested in the really fine work of the participants. Miss Grace M. Bristol introduced the pro- gramme with a selection in G minor by Leonard for the violin. This talented young lady, pupil of Professor Franze Milcke, shows much skill in her work, and gives very pleasing renditions. Ger tainly her playing was greatly appreci- ated Tuesday evening. Later in the evening Miss Bristol and Miss M. Lou ise Gallagher with her harp, rendered in a very fine manner Handeps Largo and responded to a hearty encore. In the second half of the programme Miss Gallagher played Schubert's Serenade unaccompanied. Miss Gallagher is cer- tainly fine performer on the harp and her excellent work as well as her rich toned instrument received the applause they deserved A musical critic has spoken of her as having no superior in New England with the harp, which is difficult instrument to play. Miss D. Gertrude Duell, the contralto at Grace P. E. church, sang Victor Harris "A Madrigal' and responded to an encore. Both numbers were excellently render ed. Nellie Meickle, eight years of age, daughter of MT. and Mrs. William Meickle, gave several songs, Scotch song in response to hearty encore having been particularly well received. She has a very strong voice for a girl of her age; is true to the key, enunci- ating clearly and having quite range for one so young. She comes of nlu- sical family her mother having been a choir singer of much merit in Scotland and has also done choir work in this country. Little Nellie's uncle, W. How ard Wiltshire, is bandmaster of Lan- cashire regiment, and 8 granduncle is retired bandmaster of British cav airy regiment.
 MT Robert c. Hart interested the au- dience as he always does in elocution- ary work, giving in costume the char acter sketch, ''The Tramp's Story" the audience demanding a return. His 1oJ cix of o era two recitations in her usual charming manner, responding to hearty encores with songs. In her first recitation, Money Musk" she was accompanied on the piano by her sister, Miss Mabel. For one of her age this child shows wonderful talent.
 The pleasing farce, "Bridget's Invest ment," closed the programme. The characters were impersonated by Mrs l.. c. Goodrich, Miss Pearl A. Taft, MT. R. c. Hart and MT. c. Bertram French. Mrs. Goodrich, who took the leading character, Bridget, delighted the audi ence, as she always does, with her truthful conception of her work. Miss Taft did good work as Mrs. Morgan, the gracious mistress. Mir French was the clever dapper agent who swindled Bridget, and his work was natural and realistic. The accompanists, Miss Har- riet Bristol, Mrs. William Meickle and MT. s. R. Bishop, did very pleasing work
