The Teachers Association Concert.
One of the largest audiences that ever as
sembled in the Town Hall was present, on
Thursday Light of last Week, to attend the
concert and recitation which closed the enter
tainments of the Teachers Association. The
receipts of the evening broke ali previous
records, amounting to $l22 so. The night was
close and suitry, and within the hall was reu-
dered more oppressive by the fact that every
window-sill was utilized for seating purposes,
thus preventing any relief from without. The
musical ability of Miss Clara Ascherfeld and
Prof. Gaul were severely tested, but proved
fully equal to the demand. Miss Ascherfeld's
charming personality adds much to the enjoy
ment of her sweet music, and in responding
to the frequent encores, she gave some choice
morceaux which will long haunt the memory
"Lullaby," By Mordaunt.'
Prof. Gaul's violin solo "Reverie'' delighted
the audience, and the closing ''Fantasy by
Faust" received the commendaton SO well
earned by the accomplished violinist. Mr..
Harry Smiths songs were well selected aud
well rendered; his iich bass voice was heard to
advantage and gave much pleasure to lovers
of sweet melody. The chief triumphs of the
evening were achieved by Miss Beulah Gilbert,
who is wellknown and greatly admired in
Hartford county. The charms Of Miss Gilbert's
reciiationsi is her perfect naturLlness. Sheha
none of the staging artiiicialily Of the ordinary
elocutionist, SO opposed to true culture. Her
rendition of "Aunt Tabor at the Op ra, was
rewarded by the unusual tribute of a triple
encore. In response to the last encore Miss
Gilbert told the audience story of Il very re-
markabe fish, which ''grew and grew" in a
phenomenal manner, but which was not unpre-
cedented, since several gentlemen in the
audience had evidently caught just such fish
and wondered how the story had gotten out.
