MISS SMITHS MUSICALE.

By far, the most representative audi
ence OF the season, greeted Miss Smith on
Monday, February I, to enjoy her must
Gale that had been announced for that
occasion. Teachers from the colleges and
the very best of Lexington's talent kindly
assisted her in making her evening a sue
cess.
Mr.. ChiIes was called upon to make the
disappointing announcement, that on
account of severe h-oarseness, Miss Criley
would not be able to give her solo and
that Prof. Ritcher wss detained at home
by illness in his family. Despite this
detraction from the ogram MissiSmith's
musicale was one of the most enjoyable
ever afforded the music loving people of
this city.
Among the numbers of the program,
two quartettes, ''Hail ,,Smiling Morn" and
"Lo! The Morn is Breaking" by Misses
Criley, johnson, Messrs. Chiles and Smith
were we'll given and highly appreciated
by the audience.
To those who know anything of Lex
ington's musical talent, Miss Schaffer-
meyer needs no introduction as she has
long since won for herself an enviable
reputation as an unusually fine pianist.
On this occasion. she Played "Kamennoi-
Ostrow," by Rubinstein, with her usual
ease and fine conception.
Mrs. Buck, of Baptist college, and Miss
Mister, of Elizabeth Aull, each played
beautiful solos Mrs. Buck was the
accompanies of the evening and she GER
tainly won laurels for herself in this
capacity.
"Non Destarmi," Il would linger) from
"Romeo and Juliet"-Gounod-was beau
tifully given by Miss Smith in her own
sweet and natural manner. Miss Smiths
voice is exquisitely clear and beautiful
and under perfect control, but this is no
less a charm than the easy and natural
rendition of all her numbers. Her encore
was a "lullyby," sung as only she can
sing it. The other numbers she gave
were: (a) "Rosemonde," (b) "Entreaty,"
(c) "Hush-a-bye, Sweet My Own" and
save Maria" from Cav alleria Rusti-
In the last she was
accompanied by MI. Starke with a violin
obligato and each number was equally
beautiful.
No number on the program was more
anticipated than Mr.. starke's
"Fantachi," OPP. 1OO-De Beriot-and h.

ence. with his violin, of which he is so
good a master. He responded to a very
