The Salisbury Orchestra delighted
good sized audience last Thursday
evening in the Central Opera House. 1t
is not often that musical organizations
of this class visit this city and one may
indeed feel fortunate in hearing an Or
chestra of this kind. The program con.
sisted entirely of selections by the or
chestra and vocal numbers ty Miss Abb
bic Rose Wood. The latter was enthu-
siastically received and was obliged to
respond again and again. Criticism of
the orchestra would not be justified. Its
music was excellent and 1t kept perfect
time and harmony. The descriptive
selections were particularly praisewor-
thy.
The Boston Ladies symphony Or
chestra gave the initial number of the
Y. M. "A. Star Course in the City Hall

consider themselves fortunate. The
City Hall was filled to its utmost ca
pacity and we venture the assertion
that not one person went away disap-
pointed in the evenings entertainment.
The company is composed of twenty
ladies, Master Harry Dolan, the boy
soprano and the director. Everyone
seemed an artist and their perform
ances were received with a storm of
applause, which demanded repeated
encores. The orchestra work was per-
feet and of the soloists those who seem
ed to be the favorites with che audience
were; Miss Mabel Beaman, violinist,
Miss Elvira q. Atwood, harpist, and
Miss Lizzie Banks, cornetist.
