The Cantafn.

Last Wednesday evening the Choral

the cantata, "Ths Hsymakers." In
this cantata the Choral Union has done
some Of the very best work Of its ixis.
tence. The music OF the cantata, es-
pecially that OF the choruses, is far SUI
perior in quality Of melody to that oi
other cantatas given, and is also far
more difficult, though the accuracy
with which it was rendered made the
difficulty an unknown quantity TO all
save the participants. The theme was
perhaps inferior to that of the other
cantatas, though it is OF so entirely
different q character that any compari-
son is out Of place. THE Haymakers''
is comedy and there is little gravity
in it. Its excellence is in the brightness
and beauty OF its music and the liveli.
ness OF its scenes. The players we're
srrayed in appropriate costume OF the
farm, and in motion, gesture and appro-
pirate pantomime throughout the play,
sustained the idea of lively band OF
haymakers, redeeming the cantata from
stiff and unnatural quality that must
otherwise have resulted.

time when she should come again TO visit
them.
After the conclusion Of the program,
refreshments Of coffee and cake we're
served and the evening was spent pleas

sadness was very evident, as the thought
OF Miss Robinson's leaving was upper

Miss Robinson took her departure on
Friday evening for Portland, where she
goes to make her home with her brother.
