The concert held last week In the Con-
gregational church was favored with
fine evening. The house was filled and
quite large number gathered outside.
The concert was delayed somewhat on ac-
count Of two of the singers having to go
away to attend funeral, but the audi
ence waited good-na turedly. During this
time Mr.. Fullerton sang his first number
on the second part of the program. The
rendering of the cantata was highly ap-
preciated by the audience. The numbers
of the second part of the program, select
ed from the works OF the great COM
posers, we're received with evident salts
faction. The members of the quartet, In
their duets, trios and quartets, manifested
the unity, harmony and finished execution
for which they are noted. Their solo
work was all exceptionally good, espec-
tally the rendering of Gas the dawn" by
Miss Dickinson. The singing by Mr..
Fullerton was very well received. His
voice is pure tenor, under perfect con-
troll, and manifesting remarkable ease
throughout its entire range. This, with
his perfect pronunciation and interpre-
tation, makes him most entertaining
soloist. His rendering Of 'Loch Lo-
mond'' held the audience spell-bound to
the hearty applause that followed, he re-
sponded with an encore. Miss Lulu
Sachett of West Springfield, Mass, acted
as accompanied. These artists were very
kind in giving such generous programs of
the very best music. The expenses this
year were heavy, and the rain interfered
with the attendance Tuesday evening,
$62.47 remaining after all expenses have
been paid. Part of this was handed in as
gifts. After deducting one-fourth of the
profits from the concerts, which is to go
to missions, we have $52.47 for famine
relief. The ultimate success of the con-
certs Is due to the attendance of the pub
lie, for which we desire to express our
thanks. The following is fist of the
names of those who have given additional
sums for the famine fund: Ed. Swift 81,
Thomas Richmond SOC, Mrs. Glare Le-
Monde SOC, Rev. and Mrs. H. M. Vail
SO, Rev. J. A. Solandt $3.O7. The fol-
lowing persons have given additional
sums for famine relief: D. J. Glazier
$3.50, Mrs. D. J. Glazier 81, G. D. Gla-
