Several Thousand People Enjoyed a
Feast of Music

Feast or Music.
Tho concert given at the Auditorium last
night was veritable feast OF music, and
reflected much credit upon the the local
talent, and upon the method OF training
practiced by Mr.. II. W. Porter the d.
rector.
There were about five hundred voices In
the chorus. a large majority Of them
being female. and they were secured
from the various church choirs IN Rich
mond and Manchester. together with a
number Of singers who do not belong 10

proud and the music rendered by II has
never been exceled in Richmond az any

throughout without a tremor Of hesitation
or uncertainty.

number in the cantata, when some Of them
hesltaungly got up and walked out 50

The elevated stand. upon which the
chorus. the soloists and the orchestra
sat. was a typical bower Of beauty with
It's combination Of female loveiiness and
SIS gay decorations. The entire hall pre-
scented a scene TO be remembered. and
