MUSICAL NOTES.

One of the most pleasing features of the
Centennial celebration at the Academy OF
Visitation during the past week was the
musical programme rendered at the various
meetings of the graduates and the several
religious services held. This part of the
programme was entirely in the hands of
the faculty of the academy. and they ac-
quilted themselves with great credit. The
pontificial high mass which was celebrated
Tuesday at the Church of the Holy Trinity
by Cardinal Gibbons was one of the great
est events. in musical sense, in the his
tory of the academy. The choir, under
the direction of Harry Wheaton Howard,
was assisted by the best vocalsts in the
city, and an orchestra of fourteen pieces.
The order of the music was as follows:
Professional, Priests March," from
"Athalie," Mendelssohn, orchestra; Gou-
mods "Messe Solonelle." "St. Cecilia"
trio chorus, orchestra, and organ: "Veni
Creator" bass solo, at the offertory;
'Jubilate Deo." Diabelli. soprano solo and
chorus; after the mass, "Hallelujah Choir
u.s. from The Messiah Handel; reces-
sional march, Die Folkunger," Kretsch-
mer. orchestra. The soloists for the occa-
Armand Gumprecht, Mr.. William McFar-
land and Mr. James Nolan.
Wednesday morning at a reunion OF the
alumnae of the academy another pleasing
musical programme was rendered. The
concert on this occasion was under the di-
rection of Miss Isabelle Smith, and the
chorus which assisted was composed of 200
pupils of the academy. The programme in
cluded a number of solos and several
choruses. and there was also a great deal
of instrumental music.
The last recital of the season OF the Ma
tional Conservatory was held Friday night
at the rooms of the National Conservatory.

from the florist and arranged to form
an artistic background. A little house
made OF boards and overlad with bark
represented primitive dwelling. The
slopinE roof was covered with cotton
and glstening silver thread was drawn
out over the caves to look like icicles.
Within this house, open in the rear, a
small organ was stationed, together
with a quartet of vocalists. who sang
Christmas carols of the good old fash
toned sort at intervals during the even

rated the wall back OF the platform. A
sleigh drawn by a couple OF artificial
deer (thesc were hired from a shop
where such figures are sold for the
decoration of lawns) stood near the
house. In the sleigh santa Claus can
