YOUNG MUSICIANS ENC0RED
Many music lovers missed very real

Many music lovers missed very reai
and enjoyable treat in the programme
CT instrumental music which iofH1eu
part and was the notable feature o. sls
commencement exercises of the RichHoii ',
Female Seminary. held at old Ali-SaihlS
Church last night.
The proficiency of fair young graduates
in many studies was accepted upon the
testimony Of their teachers. put III us
case OF the young ladies VINO played SO
creditably and so we'll last ngnt the as
suraoces of instructors and music masters
we're unsought. and unnecessary.
The playing of Miss nlSien 1iiiesp!e'
the graduate of the institution. III i.au-
sic. was a splendid demonstration alike
~ III. character of the instruction in
music received at this school. and OF the
natural Gifts and accomplishments or
this really talented young musician inc
playinr of Miss Lucy Shelton and MISS
Catherine Henley. in duet, wasIpecuiar-
Nv beautiful and winning. Miss Owens,
Miss Carter and Miss Hargrore, IN quar-
tette, with Professor Reinhardt. were not
g difficult piece.
The feature OF the music Of the eve
ming, however. was the playing of Miss
Mary Carter, of Loudoun The older
young ladies OF longer experience and
practice generously in their comments ac-
corded to this nfteen-year-old young lady
the position Of especial honor and distinc
ton. Although her place in the pro-
Eramne of exercises came late after the
audience was possible a little waeried,
Miss Carter had gained but little head
way in her piece before she had won
the closest attention and interest of those
who heard her. Her touch and technique
were peculiarly pleasing and gave large
promise of the highest musical excel
1ence. At the conclusion of her piece
she was accorded applause as general and
spontaneous as the most ambitious lnu-
eicians Of longer Years and experience
might desire. And the applause continued
until the little musician modest1y came
forward to render second piece in a
style as winning and artistic as mat
which marked her earlier playing.
Every one present agreed that the must
cal programme was one of notably high
order of excellence and promise.
