The rector. Rev. Dr. E. s. Lines, presided. The most import ant matter was the election of the war; dens and vestry for the ensuing year. Those chosen were:
 Senior warden-John c. Hollister.
 Junior warden-Benjamin R. English.
 'Clerk-Charles F. Curtiss.
 Treasurer-Robert R. Foote.
 Vestrymen-George s. Barnum, Eu- gene A. Beecher, Amos J. Beers, Her. bert F. Blogg, Edward E. Bradley Friend E. Brooks, Charles F. Curtiss, Robert R. Foote, John w. Hut, Seth G. Johnson, Henry w.

blended we'll in the quartette ''To the Nightingale" and the last number, while the duetts between soprano and also were artistically rendered
 The song programme which followed served better to present the qualified tions of the singers. Mrs. Roulston has fine quality of tone, but lacks enunci- ation. Mrs. Warwick, who has been heard here almost each preceding year of the festival, proved herself the same sincere artist, but her former rich tone, it is to be regretted, is now not what it once was. MT Buckley, the tenor, did his best work with Oudin's "Moorish Serenade," presenting pleasing voice with some good high notes. He con fines himself to his notes too closely to be easy in stage appearance,
 Had a Horse" translation of an old Hungarian Folk song, is a fine com position, but MT. Kenyon was hardly equal to 1t. He apparently was not in his usual good voice.
 Miss Ruth W. Wood, the violinist of Manchester, assisted. Her tone is small and not always true, but her technique is well grounded and she promises well to become a player of prominence H.

OBTTU1RY NOTES.
George Hosmer.

| In the death of George Hosmer, which I occurred yesterday afternoon at 2 | o'clock at the residence on Eld street | New Haven passed away. Had MT
 Hosmer lived until the 29th of next Oc- tober he would have been eighty years of age. MT. Hosner was taken about two weeks ago while overseeing some work in his garden. Pneumonia de- veloped and at last resulted in his death.
 The deceased wac a native of South Windsor, of this state. He removed to this city when twenty-two years of age and had been employed at his trade of
 carriage making ever since. He was a
 valued employe of all the firms for
 which he worked, among them being
 the Lawrence & Bradley Co.,, the Hub
 bell & Morton Co.,, the Crockett X Tut
 tie O., and the Holcomb Co., MT. Hos
 mer continued with the latter company
 until the time of his last illness. His
 wife, who died six years ago. was Miss
 Harriet Parker of Wailingford. MT
 Hosmer was one of the oldest residents on Eld street, having resided on that
 tiipl puEuidit LOT HDOul I1Cy years. lie
 was one of the two surviving original members of St. Johns Protestant Epis- copal church and was elected vestry- man at the formation of the church as an organization holding that office until his death. He was reelected at the annual parish meeting, held on Monday evening, pr. c, A. Lindsley, chairman of the state board of health,s is the other original member of the church, and it was he who attended Mir. Hosmer in the latters recent illness.
 MT. Hosmer resided with his daugh- ter, Mrs Samuel Tyler, for years. He Is survived by his daughter, one son.

invalid. The care of her husband and the anxiety connected herewith, to- gether with her advanced years, un- dOubtedly contributed to her demise, Mrs. Bishop being a sufferer from heart trouble and other malades Deceased whose age was seventy-fve years and six months, was born in Guilford and was the daughter of Captain Lyman Fowler, her mother being before mar riage Miss Mary Griffin, also of Guil- ford. Her entire life has been passed in this community where she wes we'll and favorably known; her kind and sympa- thetic disposition endearing her to all. Besides the bereaved husband above mentioned, she is survived by several step children. The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends. The floral tributes were beautiful and eX- pressive She was a sincere Christian lady, being for many years an earnest member of the Third Congregational church. The Rev. George w. Banks, the former pastor of that church, and the Rev. William G. Andrews, rector of Christ Protestant Episcopal church, were the officiating clergymen. The in- terment was in the family lot in Alder brook cemetery,

il O'CLOCK CONCERT.

The ii o'clock concert was bit un-
 usual in that superb vocal and violin
 recital preceded the reading of Enoch Arden.
 The vocalist was Miss Blanca Hol-
 ley of New York city, who has been
 the recipient of many very flattering and wholly deserved notices for her
 many appearances recently. The
 promise of a rare treat was entirely
 realized and fulfilled and Miss Holley
 although she confessed to slight cold
 rendered the several numbers on the
 programme with an artistic grace
 which was quite resistless Miss Hol-
 ley's petite and pleasing voice was 1 heard for the first time in this city. 1 Her two German songs were finely 1 given, but her magnificent rendition of l the English songs, "The Song Fairy"
 and Love Song" fairly electrified the audience and sch was vocferously ap- plauded. Miss Holley's stage presence is easy, unassuming and entirely pleas ing with the result that she and her audience felt quite at home with each other from the moment she made her initial bow. Professor F. A, Fowler of this city, who is organist of a promi- nent church in New York city, played her accompaniments in a faultless manner.
 Rae Thornton La Wake of New York city, accompanied by Waiter R. Cowles of this city, gave two violin numbers. MT La Wake is a pupil of Professor Isidore Troostwyk in the Yale musical ,J Df liant successes of the festival Youth full and quiet in appearance, he drew from his violin wonderful eoul-stirring tones and played on the very hearts of his hearers Added to the charm of tone, his execution was finished and the intense interest and gratifying ap- preciation of the audience evinced a musical assembly.
 The Strauss melodrama, "Enoch Ar den," was given before a large audi ence and was full of dramatic power and exquisite pathos as read by Miss Mae Jean Colt and played by Max Dessauer. Words and music both told the same tale, and the beauties of Tennyson's fine poem were brought vivid1y to the audiences attention. In the death bed story of Enoch Arden the most sublimely pathetic heights were attained and voice and music thrilled with sadness.
 Miss Colt is one of New Ravens most charming and accomplished readers. She possesses personal at fractions and unconscious simplicity of manner which makes her work ire sistible The dramatic interpretation given that rare old poem, both by the | reader and the pianist, was excellent. 1 The absolute stiffness of the listeners and the fact that scarcely any one left until the last plaintive word was | spoken, the last thrilling note sounded, | even though the hour was long past | noon, gave it's own eloquent tribnte to | the perfection of the work of both ar lists.

Grape-Nuts Food Gave The Strens

Grape-Nuts Food Gave The Strength.
 It is good thing to know of food that will add volumes to ones strength, for the strong can do things and accomplish work in this world while the weak must stand to one side.
 A woman in Toronto writes: "I was in very poor health a long time and got so weak and run down that I would often stop at the root oI the stairs and won der how could get to the top.
 I began using Grape-Nuts and in a very short time that weak, broken down feeling etirely disappeared. l had form erly been forced to give up my break lasts in order to give my stomach a rest, but when 1 got hold of Grape Nuts l could eat breakfast for the food seem- ed to help digest other foods and soon l began to gain in weight and strength.
 I regularly use fruit and Grape-N Nuts for breakfast and can work harder and for longer time than ever before" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

 SARGENT
 The death of Mrs. George Lewis Sar- gent, which occurred late Monday night, although not unexpected, was an sad and mournful event and caused a shock to a host of sorrowing friends. She was a woman of singular ly attractive and beautiful character, a devoted wife and mother and one who adorned the circle in which she moved. Comparatively young in life and with family of seven children, the oldest fourteen years of age, her departure is a break in the family circle which will bring grief to many hearts The beauty of her life will always be a happy re- membrance to all her friends as they look back upon the constantly increas ing number of those who were and are not.
