ST. JOHNS EVE.

On Tuesday evening the university
school OF music gave the annual con-
cert. These annual EXAMINATIONS OF the
musical season are the most popular
OF all the university numbers only ex-
cepting the commencement exercises.
Mrs. p. V. NJ. Raymond, has trained
a chorus which this year numbered l33,
90 that it sang with one voice, the mel
low. sprightly music of the cantata, St.
Johns Eve! The fine soloists were ap-
preciated and applanded, but the noble
song of the chorus, its unity, strength,
sustained sweetness Of tone and its
perfect blending and obedience to the
direction OF the conductor was surpris-
ing even TO an audience accustomed to
Mrs, Reynolds choruses.
As a conductor, Mrs. Raymond's work
is admirable. As the trainer OF a Choir
US capable of rendering an oratorio or
a caDtata with equal brilliancy and
finish, she has a unique reputation
among professional musicians in this
country. She is devote of the loftiest
music and every member of her chorus
classes learn from her eventually much
more, oh very much more, than how to
sing this or that oratorio or cantata.
The eoloists were Miss Helen F. Smy-
ser soprano, Miss Grace Reynolds alto,
Mr. W. F. Hypes tenor. and Mr.. G. W..
Kettering bass. Miss Symser's pure
soprano. sureness and Catholic culture
was apparent. Mr.. .Hypes, the tenor,
had the. same mastery OF his work.
The duet at the close of the evening
was artistic and pleased a rather I'M.
demonstrative audience. Miss Rey-
nolds and Mr.. Ketteripg though the one
lie still student and the other is not a
professional. were in admirable voice
and sung with no whit less feeling. com.
prehension and artistic effect than the
foreign singers.
The ensemble effect of the chorus,
was most picturesque with the men on
the highest seats on the background,
the women in front in white and the
light feminine shades of blue. yellow.
green and pink, with the orchestra and
their shiny instruments in the middle
foreground and the soloists and the
conductor in the foreground.
The orchestra Was trained by Mr.
August Hagenow. Here toe, there has
been great improvement. Violinists,
cellists. cornettists.sand "tympani" per-
former, remembered their place as &C.
companists and that they were parts of
composition. AS accompanies on
string or brass they entered into DO
rivalry with.throats but took the second
place and the satisfactory result was
due, in part, to their moderation. Miss
Stuart was the piano accompanist. She
played with verve. sympathy, and mu-
sicianly understanding.

The program WAS 30 long that indi-
vidual criticism is impossible. The
bearing of the pupils was composed and
their accuracy in rendering the works
of Chopin, Schumann and Schubert
Liszt was noticeable. Their ipterpre-
tations, although characteristic of the
student, were not without promise,
which in some cases was brilliant and
guaranteed fulfilment.

teen graduates appeared upon the stage

soned traveller than she was at her
starting out. When it is realized that
every dollar of the money needed for
the untold expense of her journey has
been earned by the intrepid worker,
the nature and difficulty of the ire

Miss Alderman bore the banner of
the w. c. T. L. in all her travels, and
much of her labor was carried on UNI
der the auspices of the good tcmplars.
To Alaska. the Sandwich islands. New

the Transvaal she has gone, wearing
the knot of snowy ribbon. She has
organized societies, held Gospel and
