The lecture committee have completed
their list of entertainments for the season
of 1883, and the course opens Nov. 18th
with a concert by the Boston Artists
Quartette. In this company are four ia
nous soloists, well and favorably known
to st. Johnsbury audiences: Mrs. Jennie
Patrick Walker, Miss Gertrude Edmunds,
George j. Parker and d. NJ. Babcock.
This quartette will give the new song cycle,
''In a Persian Garden" This is classical
production with the words from the Ru
baiyat of Omar Khayyam. This will
cupy about an hour, after which the solo
lists will give music of a more popular
character. The committee also hope to
secure for this concert the nine year-old
cornetist, Marion w. Story. She will be
sure to please as she is a musical wonder.
The patrons of the course will be glad to
learn that Rev. DR.. Edward Everett Hale
of Boston has been secured for Nov. 18th.
