Miss Maud Stevens returned Tuesday
from Pttsford, where the festival chorus
which she directs in that town gave a
concert before an audience of 300 people.
The chorus numbers 80 persons. Miss
Elizabeth Burritt of Burlington was the
accompanist. The chorus was also as
sisted by Miss Fanny Crandall and John
Brownell of Burlington. The first
number was by a class of children. The
Rutland Herald speaks in the highest
terms of the work done by Miss Stevens
as conductor of the chorus, as well as of
the concert. Mr.. Brownell and Miss
Crandall are to assist the chorus at Proc
tor tonight. The interest in the Bur-
lington festival is apparently on the in
crease, and new hall built especially
for musical festivals In Burlington,
together with the large sale of members
tickets, makes the success of the under
taking a certainty.
