| Those who love music enjoyed treat on
| last Friday evening at the Y. Nj. G. A. Au.
ditorium, when Mr.. E. Baxter Perry ap.
| peared and gave one of those splendid reci-
tails to which Stanton audiences have
listened On several previous occasions,
There is charm about the person. an intel
ligence in all he says and does that is abso-
lutely facinating, and no one can hear him
without being instructed and delighted.
Music which may be styled melted poetry,
when understood has charms which not
only sooth the savage breast but elevate
the more civilized soul, and music rendered
by this remarkable man imparts fresh
charms to every listener. As we have stated
MI. Perry is not stranger here, and some
Of the numbers rendered have on several
occasions been heard, but each rendition has
added charms.
The lecture with which he prefaces each
number, is in keeping with the music,
chaste, sOnorous, classical, and admirably
prepares his audience for what they are to
hear. He tells of the inspiration under
which the number was composed, the sur
roundings, influences, motif of the compos-
er, which enables one to follow and COM
prehend the detail Of the composition with
raptuous delight. The program of the even
ing included selections from Beethoven.
Chopin. Wagner. List, and two works by
himself. Mr.. Perry is totally blind, but
be is so highly gifted, both intellectually
and muslcally, so refined and cultured that
he at once ELECTS the sympathy and admit
ration Of his audience. His technique is
simply wonderful, and his mastery of the
piano forte revelation to those who have
never seen him.
large and appreciative audience greeted
him, amongst which was nearly one hun
dred young ladies from our female semi
naries.
