singers, who had promised to be present,
nor did the much smaller audience than
they would otherwise have had, depress
them for they sang with ell their accus-
toned power to please. Their songs were:
"Kings of the road, /" by R. W. Reynolds,
and 'He was a prince" by Mrs. II. NJ.
Chase. Mrs. Chase and Mr.. Reynolds
sang a duet, "I'L live and love thee"
The audience received all of these num-
beers with marked enjoyment. Miss Ella
Welch was the accompanist. The read
ings by Miss Coe of Meriden, Conn.,, were
also much enjoyed. In those displaying |
deep feeling such as "The switchman's
story" and s'Lilly Servosse's ride" she was
at her best and in the opinion of many
excelled all Others whom they had heard.
