MUSICAL.

The concert given last evening at the
Carroll Club auditorium, by Miss Leo
nora jackson, violiniste, Miss Joheph-
inc Elburna, soprano, and Mr.. Seldom
Pratt, pianist, was a f1attering success,
both as to the rendition of the various
numbers and in the size and character
of the audience, and the Woman's
Musical Club is again to be congratu-
lated upon an artistic triumph achieved
under it's auspices. The audience wa
made up of the most noted lovers OF
music in the city and vicinity, and they
gave a deserved welcome to the distin-
guished trio of %virtuosi..
Miss Jackson demonstrated amply
her claims to unusual distinction. Her
abilities are undoubted. Technique,
tone and breadth of treatment alike
show her complete mastery over her
instrument, and the numbers falling to

of a carefully trained voice, of wide
compass and decided sweetness, and
met with the approval of her hearers.

ly satisfactory, and contributed not a
little to the success of a most delight
full musical evening.
