Too much praise cannot be spoken
of the manner in which Mr.. Monte
Moore and MIR. Arthur Middleton &C.
Quilted themselves. Their parts were
rendered with beauty and force of ex-
preston, which has added to their al
ready well deserved fame as tenor and
bass singers of high order. That the
audience appreciated their artistic
skill, and the spirit in which they
sang, was shown by the hearty encores

of the evening we're easily accorded to
Mrs. Snyder and Miss Chapman. Sci.
dom has soprano singer appeared
before Mo. Valley audience with
more difficult task to perform, than
was that which Mrs. Snyder
took upon herself IN the rendering of
her parts in this wierd composition.
But she proved herself to be mistress
of the task. Her sweet, clear, beauti-
full voice filled every nook and corner
of the spacious auditorium. She had
perfect control of her voice and was
en- rapport with her subject, so that
without any apparent effort she
reached the highest notes in perfect
ease, without break in the continuity
of tone, or harsh cadence falling on
the ears of her auditors. Frequent
encores told how highly she was sp-
prectated for her splendid artistic
skill and her personal worth.

ficiently appreciative, the splendid
manner in which Miss Chapman car

: highly educated artist, but that
which no education and no artistic
T finish can give-her whole soul. She

with great power, and even at the risl
