RANDOLPH CENTER.

The sixth and last entertainment in
the course at Randolph Center was
given by the Arthur F. Nevers Con-
cert Co., and proved an evening of
rare enjoyment. The people antici.
pated the pleasure they had in listen
ing to Mr.. Blaisdell and Me Nevers,
having heard them before, though per-
haps special mention should be made
of the first violin solo by Mr.. Blais-
dell and one hymn rendered by Mr..
Nevers, of which some said that alone
paid them for coming. Miss Shaw
proved herself perfectly at home as
accompanist. Miss Brown in her
pleasing and unasSuming manner gave
several songs and very kindly respond
ed to the hearty encores she received.
Her voice is clear, pure soprano and
she sings with such ease one feels she
simply opens her lips and the melody
comes. The committee appreciate the
fact they received fully as much and
even better talent than the manager
promised both for this evening and
the other entertainment he furnisht d
us, which proves bis method of doing
business.
