The Easter musical entertainment
given at the Catholic church last Sun
day morning and evening, exceeded all
expectation. Peters Mass was very
creditably rendered by Messrs. Bur-
oage and Wolff, Mesdames Krentz and
Burke and Miss Cavanaugh, with Miss
Bertha Krentz at the organ. One of the
very important features of the pro-
yramme, however, was the rendition of
Weigands famed save Maria," by Miss
Rose M. Kelly. Mr.. Joseph Kfentz
played a violin accompaniment, and
Mrs. James Burke presided at the or
gan. This selection was most favora-
oily received by the audience, and was
repeated in the evening, by special re-
quest. Miss Kelly possesses beauti-
ful and wonderfully distinct soprano
voice, which two qualities always guar
sntee success to the vocal performer.
The "Regina Coeli," sung by the choir
IN the evening was we'll received, like
wise the soprano aud bass solos.
