Music perhaps reaches more people and proves pleasurable to them than any other class of entertainment that can be devised, ,and especially music of the first order in mer- it. This is the kind of music which this company give. They have sung at many great conventions and have always at these awakened great enthusiasm, notab. ly at the Music Teachers National Asso- citation held at Saratoga Springs in the summer of 1894. Here, aU ong the sever est critics in their art, this company scored a real triumph. Among the many words of praise afterwards received were such as these: "Their singing was one of the most enj ,yable features of the meet ing" ''rhe company has good ensem ble ot fresh, well balanced and thorough ly trained voices; their enunciation, phrasing and shading are excellent, their repertory large and varied" "For per- feet blending of voices, precision of at tack and musicianly Interpretation have never heard the equal of your associa tion." This same company, too, sang for 10 days at the Connecticut Valley Chau tauqua in 1891, and ''did not tire the peo- ple." That could be said of few musical nr roa n iz tinpa in tbia oouptrv A oo,, mercial traveller, happening in Newtown the other day and hearing that the New York Male Quartet Company were soon to give concert here, said that he had heard them and could vouch that they gave splendid entertainment. With the quartet is Miss Nellie Nichols, reader of exceptional ability and success. The management say these things, not be cause they wisr to catch the people, but because they sincerely believe that they Lave rare entertainment in store for the audience at the Town hall on the evening of January II; if the concert does no meet the idea here given, no one will be more disappointed than they.
