St Dominic's Choir.
The concert was in every respect de-
cided musical success and was received
with marks of the greatest satisfaction
by the very large body of listeners. There
were many notable features and the work
of the mixed chorus of IS voices which
make up St. Dominic's choir, is to be
warmly commended. Their voices blend
cd tremendously and rang out in good,
tuneful volume. Miss Twigg, the leading
soprano of st. Dominio's choir, rendered
Singing OF YOU" very artistically and
surely won her encore. MIR. Coughlin sang
in good voice, and the mandolin duet was
II very pleasing number. MIR. Welch's
resonant voice never sounded better than
1t did last night and he contributed ma
terially to the enjoyment Of the evening.
The drum solo and banjo specialties were
novel and entertaining, and Miss Mo-
reau's piano solo was effectively executed.
The ROTATIONS were happily chosen
and were given in a manner indicating
good Evolutionary talent Mrs Lena Pearl
Scott carried tho alto part most satisfac-
torily and need of the greatest praise
is due Miss Fannie NJ. Egan, who was
aocompanist and director. 10 her is due
the excellent training OF the chorus and
in very great measure the success o.
what was a genuine musical treat.
A word of the warmest commentator
should be said for Mr.. John Ii. Dooley,
who secured the talent and assumed
general management in arranging the
preliminaries of the entertainment.
