MUSICAL ITEMS.

SlStCu DCl lVAChSAs AnAS S' ~' in playing the accompaniments to Mir. Apmadoc and to the as sembly chorus.
 It has been highly gratify- ing to the Musical Director, Chorus, Band and Wagner Quartet to have large and ap preciative audiences at each of the ten concerts given.
 Mrs. Lea and Miss Ethel Thompson, pianists, have made for themselves reputation worthy of their talent and cul- ture. Director Apmadoc paid both earnest and eloquent com pllments.
 The Springdale band has been complimented highly by Director Apmadoc for its into nation, mellowness of tone, and for more lights and shades than is generally observed by brass bands.
 Miss Helen F. King, of Springfield, Mo-, will be a wis itor during the last week Ot the assembly, and will sing at the Saturday night concert. She is a pianist and vocalist Cf much culture.
 The exhibition of talent shown in all concerts proves that Springdale ought to have a well organized musical socie ty-one that would be backed by our most intelligent citi- zens, and one that would be a blessing and inspiration to all. Mrs. Johnson and Miss Johnson, pianist and violin ist, have made all their friends proud by thei r arility, and contributions to the many programs, and Miss Clarke's soprano voice was heard with excellent advan- tage in the song "Calvary" during the first Sunday.
 The impromptu address of the musical director last Mon- day morning has been pro- nounced as one of the most de lightful talks on an art that is not sufficiently studied, that has ever been heard from a Chautauqua platform. Col. Bain said: That gentleman Is an orator, poet, preacher and teacher. His speech was the most classical l have ever listened to-
 The class of young students in music numbers about 15 voices. Spr'ngdale parents, evidently, have been very neg lectfnl of their children in mu sical advantages. This is to be regretted. It doesn't speak we'll of the heads of families tO allow such opportunities to pass without using them. It is not often that special in structor can be had without costing 9 cent to the students The assembly chorus should be 100 voices at least, instead of bout 30. The chorus has received notable lessons Tn mn sical rudiments, theory. and in reading music. July 18th. the chorus had an hours lesson ID the composition and form off the major and minor scales, with a little of their history among oriental nations. ItI would do the citizens of Spring l dale good to hear the members | reciting the lesson, and singing the major scale, and the harmo | ic and melodic minor scales from a basis of intelligence
