ROWLAND HALLS CONCERT
PERFORMANCE IN FIRST CON-
EDUCATIONAL CHURCH.
Young Performers Acquitted Them
selves In Very Creditable Man
ner-Medals Presented.

At no time in the history of Rowland
hall has commencement week been
more suspicious. The scholarly bacca-
was followed last evening by the clos
ing concert given by the piano depart
ment under the direction of Miss Ora
tia Flanders.
! The audience last evening at the First
Congregational church was a select
one. While there was no marked dem
onStration by the hearers, it was plain
ly manifest that all were delighted
with the skill of the performers.
Much disappointment was expressed
that Misses Susie Sawyer and Flor
ence Stevenson were unable to be pres
ent by reason of illness, and that Miss
Sophia Contain, one of the graduates
of SO, was detained at home on account
of the recent death of her father. In
the first two instances, Miss Flanders
filled the vacant places. while Miss &C.
neva Ellerbeck, a favorite before Salt
Lake audiences, took Miss Conhaims
parts.
The programme was announced by
Bishop Leonard. An attraction that
ELECTED much favorable comment was
the playing of the Robins Lullaby"
by little Miss Dorothy Leonard, aged
years. and a daughter of Bishop
Leonard. The skill which the child
showed after but four months of train
ing by Miss Flanders, was marvellous,
and the little girl is certainly prodigy
in music.
The programme opened with the
''Marche Celebre," in which appeared
Miss Dora Daily, Miss Grace BurreI,
Miss Florence Wines and Miss Elan
ders. This number was skillfully
played.
