1901. Every performer engaged is a
finished artist and the best that money

been SO arranged as to embrace not only
numbers from the classics but also those
that for years have been known as favor
ties and enjoyed by all regardless Of
musical appreciation. The quartette
singing in past years has delighted. and
entertained but this year the manage

thing better than ever before. A
glance at the following list OF musicians
will prove that this years assembly will
present the greatest musical combina-

The sweet young lady singer, who last
year delighted the audiences by her
clear enunciation, her heart to heart
pathos combined with the charm of
youth, freshness of voice and purity Of
tone. Miss Lindsey is a North Dakota
girl, recently removed to St. Paul,
where here ability is recognized and ap-
preciated as one of the most gifted
artists of the day. Her temperance
at this assembly will be hailed with de-
light.
MISS ALBERTA FISHER
OF Minneapolis is soprano who will
be present one week, beginning June
28. She has filled engagements in the
largest New York churches and has APP
peared before the most cultured audi
ences in America. A Brooklyn paper,
in speaking of her, says: "The engage
| ment of Alberta Fisher as solo soprano
of the Memorial Presbyterian church,
Brooklyn, is triumph of which this
young may we'll be proud. In compete
ton with numberlcss other sopranos,
some Of them singers of long standing
and reputation, she won the prize by vir-
tue of her fresh, lovely voice and her
earnest simplicity of style. Miss Fisher
recently came to New York from Min
neapolis and to so quickly secure such
an important position is matter for
congratulation."

entertainment so distinctive from any
heretofore presented in musical way,
as to render it unique in character. They

the popular songs of the day and are

METROPOLITAN MIXED QUARTETTE.
Comprising two ladies and, two gen.
tlemen, will be with the Chautauqua
July S, 6 and 2. The quartette was or
gained by Mrs. Jane Huntington Yale,
which fact alone is guarantee of its
excellence. The musical critic of the
st. Paul Globe echoes the press of the
country in the following notice: "The
Metropolitan Quartette realizes per-
fectly the artistic ndeal Of voice ensem-
bic. The appearance as quartette Of
the four representative singers of st.
Paul has served to give to the Twin
Cities. (for these singers are the lead
ing soloists of the best choirs in both
citics) such perfectly balanced vocal
instrument as they have not previously
known. Its parts are perfectly attuned
II resembles in its faultless blending of
tone, a string quartette. which is the
favorite ensemble of the instrumentalist.
Only soloists who are finished artists
can so color their tones as to produce
the perfect voice companionship, for
which the Metropolitan Quartette is
notable. Its execution is as free and
spirited as if but single voice were
singing, while it has the splendid re-
sources of great chorus.
Miss PAGES indescribably sweet, Tyre.
like voice which becomes at the sing
er's will full dramatic organ, is only
equalled in its fascination by the sing
er's wonderfully attractive personality.
In striking contrast, yet perfect har-
mony. is the rich and vibrant speech of
Mrs. Yale's contralto. The timbre of
the voice is ccllo-like and her finished
art enables her to Use it with great de-
scriptivc power.
