One OF the most attractive features of the
Elks' benefit, given at one of the local thea
tres during the last week, was the singing
of Miss Nelly MacNulty. Miss MacNulty
makes speciality of1singing that class of
compositions known ase';coon songs" and
is probably one OF the best amateurs in that
line in the city. There, were several notable
numbers on the programme which were
contributed by local musicians. Miss Flor
ence Henri King gave three excellent violin
solos, and Miss Constance Hurworth as
tonished the strangers in the audience with
her remarkable double-note whistling. The
Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof
Santlemann, was also in attendance, and
played several selections, one of which, the
Admiral Dewey March," was the compost
tion of the leader.

MUSICAL NOTES.

The attention of all the local singers has
been turned to the Peace Jubilee by the
events Of last week. From the present out
look, 1t appears that an effort will be made
to get up such choir as has never been
heard in this city. Chairman Foster pre-
sided over meeting of his committee on
music Friday night to prepare plans for
the celebration. The portion of 1t to be
devoted to music is very large indeed, and
an opportunity will be given the singers Of
the District to demonstrate their ability
The fact that the matter of selecting the
program Is in the hands of Mr.. Foster as
sures most musicians that nothing but the
best choruses will be selected. Mr. Foster
trained the Moody choir several years ago.
and the organization was SO excellent that
1t was continued long after the Moody and
Sankey meetings had concluded. Choruses
were the principal feature of the repertoire
OF that organization, although there were
number Of excellent soloists included in
its membership. 1t is proposed to organize
the Jubilee choir on the same lines, and
all the singers in the city are interested
in its success.

some time, and expects them TO do great
things with the music that has been Sc

An excellent entertainment was given
last Tuesday at the Masonic Hall, Ana
costa. The Woman's Relief Corps held a
novelty tea during the day, and at night a
concert was given under the direction of
Miss MYRTLE Dexter, of the National Con-
servatory OF Music. Miss Dexter has had
much experience in the direction of con-
certs of various kinds, and has always ac-
quilted herself with the greatest credit
She is very familiar with the local musical
temperament, and knows what the people
Of Washington want to hear. The enter
tainment Tuesday evening only served to
add to her former successes, as 1t was
almost letter perfect in the matter of man
agement and detail. Miss Dexter did not
appear herself, but she directed the entire
performance, and the credit for the sue
cess of the affair is undoubtedly hers. The
programme rendered was artistic, and in
cluded two plano solos by Miss Smoot, So
prano solos by Miss Edith Potbury, Miss
Pearl Evans, and Mrs. Doyle, two selec-
tions from Quartette composed of Misses
Evans and Simpson, Messrs. Warner and
Atwell, duet by Misses Evans and Simp-
son, a bass solo by Mr.. Paul Cook, and a
banjo solo by DR.. Atwell. Many Of the
soloists responded TO encores.

Many of the persons who attended the
performance of 'TrilbyH,s at the Columbia
Theatre few weeks ago Were astonished
at the excellence Of the piano numbers
which Svengali is supposed to render. The
plano used on the stage did not give forth
single note and the playing was all done
behind the scenes by Angelo Fronani, one
Of the best known local pianists. Fronanl
has been playing in this city for some time
and has had several excellent engagements.
His touch was exactly the same as that
attributed to Syengali, and the music he
played harmonized entirely with the per-
formance on the stage. He has received
many high compliments from the Washing

the instrument on this occasion and he will
