Music Club Reorganized.

The music club that was source Of
so much pleasure to many of our peo-
pie for several years has been revived,
and its first meeting was held Tuesday
evening at Bellevue, the charming
home of Mrs. Minnie Shepherd. Al
though the recent reorganization of
the club had permitted little time for
rehearsal. a very enjoyable programme
was rendered, consisting of selections
by the orchestra, piano solos by Miss
Lalla Reynolds and Miss Anna Wool
cry, two songs by aquartette composed
of Miss Bulloch, Miss Wingate, Mr..
John Byers and Mr.. Fl. L. Snyder,
with Miss Titus as accompanied, and
vocal solos delightfully."- rendered by
Miss Emma Bulloch, soprano, and Miss
A. Salome Wingate, contralto. AT
the conclusion of the programme re-
freshments were served and the social
features of the occasion thoroughly en-
ioyed. The first meeting of the club
was voted an entire success, and its
fortnightly gatherings will, we are
sure, be a source of great pleasure to
the members of the club and their
friends. 1t is proposed at regular IN
tervals to have meetings TO which gen.
eral invitations will be given.
