Pupils OF Texas Female Seminary
Hold the Boards.

"A cTOWu seEonu AA size OAdAf ~
that present Saturday night wit
messed the recital at the Chautauqua
auditorium last night given by the
pupils of the Texas Female Semin-
ary, Of Weatherford, ard tho audi
ence left with nothing to complain
.of in the way of entertainments.
Good music, good recitations and
good vocal solos made up the even
ing's entertainment and each num-
ber was creditably rendered.
The exercises were opened by a
quartette, ~ Would that My Love-"
sung by Misses Mary, Lucy and
Bessie Baker and Marcelle Eubank.
A piano solo by Miss Lucy Baker
was well rendered. Miss Baker has
free and easy touch and her exeeu-
ton on the keys was quite good.
The vocal solo of Miss Bessie
Baker was pleasingly sung.
Miss Mary Baker favored the
audience with violin solo. Her
notes were soft yet full of tone and
she handled the bow quite cleverly.
What was clearly the hit of the
evening was the recitations by
Miss Grace Holland. She was on
the program for three numbers and
In 1.-THE Story of Joseph" from
"Helen's Babies, afforded a
splendid opportunity for the display
OF her elocutionary power.
Miss Marcelle Eubank sang two
vocal solos. She has deep, rich
baritone voice and she sings with
| remark able clearness.
The violin solo by Prof. A. C.
Reichert won well merited recalls.
Prof. Reichert is director of music
| in the Seminary and is a musician of
considerable ability.
That the entertainment was thor
oughly appreciated by the audience
was attested by the spontaneous ap-
pIause with which each number on
the program was greeted.
The rain this morning resulted in
light attendance again today.
The work today was devoted to a
study and discussion Of topics per-
talng 10 the Sunday school. Ad-
dresses were made by. w. p. Ma
loney, of Wolfe City, and DR.. 5. L..
Hornbeak. Mr.. Maloney spoke on
the Organization of the Sunday
school. ~
The subject Of DR.. Blacks lecture
this morning was the Trial Of our
Lord" 4" This was one of the most
interesting lectures delivered by DIR.
Black at this session Of the Chau-
tauqua.
IN the afternoon the Teachers
Meeting" was thy subject Of very
interesting address by Rev, b. A.
Hodges.
AT $3.50 the Wise Orchestra enter
tanned large audience with spec
ial musical program. A rich
treat of music had been anticipated
by the people and in this they were
not disappointed. The members of
this company of artists have been
the recipients of many enconiums
and i'm the entertainment this after
noon they won new laurels. We
would like to give each member of
the orchestra an individual mention
but space forbids. However, we
cannot afford to miss an opportuni-
" for eomplimenting Miss Lena
Williams, of Oak Cliff, for the gem
eral excellency Of a recitation with
which she favored the audience.
Miss Williams is u graduate of
schools of oratory in New York and
Boston and is an elocutionist Of
splendid ability, In "Ursus and
Auroehs," from Quo Nadis she
achieved an unquestioned tria mph,
and the verdict of the audience was
aceentuated by absolutely spontan-
eous applause.
