ance, and IL Is not too much TO say that
TO her individual credit should be plac-
ed a large percentage OF last nights do
nation 10 the school cause, 1t IL sim
cerely TO be hoped that she VIII not lose
by her generosity when she sings on
her own behalf. Prior to her appear
ahce last night, MIR. Harris read a
statement from Drs Wilcox and Stauf-
fer, In which they said that they had
strongly advised Miss Ramsey that she
sang at her own risk, and that her
throat was In a serious condition, Her
determination, however not TO dsap-
point the public, had induced them TO
compromise BY allowing only one light
number to be rendered. She. therefore,
gave Dudley Bucks beautiful song,
Fear Not Ye, o Israel" Making all
allowance for the condition of her
throat, II was plain TO be seen that she
has a wealth OF beauty In her voice.
Her tone quality is rich and velvety,
and her style shows that she has had
the rarest sort OF schooling. Her range
Indicates that she Is mezzo soprano,
but both her upper and lower notes are
equally rich. Any opinion as to all that
she Is capable OF must, OF course be re-
served until she has been heard In a
round OF varying selections. The i'm
preston she made last night, however,
was unmstakable.
The choir, In Randegger's noble an
them, did beautiful work. Mr.. Kent
gave a ringing and feeling rendition OF
the Cambrlan war song and was yoci-
ferously applauded Held's Military
band did number Of selections, some
excellent and one on two rather UNI
even. but was heartily applauded. Its
best work was "The, Dawn OF Love"
Miss Fisher had royal reception, and
her beautiful, clear, high soprano voice
reached every recess Of the vast build
ing. Her charming song was also i'm
mensely applauded, Prof. Radcliffe's
two numbers were greatly appreciat-
ed, especially the variation on "The
Swanee River" which was admirably
done The Euterpe quartet did some
rare work, especially In us hrst num-
Der, and showed that II Is one Of the
strong factors In our music circles.
Master Peterson the boy violinlst. had
the real ovation OF the night, and his
wonderful execution OF De Berots
beautiful twelfth air. showed astonish-
ing progress. He was exeellently sup
ported by his father, Prof. Peterson.
1t goes without saying that Prof. Me-
Clellans rendition OF the always tender
"Andantlno" was everything 1t should
have been. He. too, had telling re-
ception. The Orpheus club sang a
selection in charming style.
AT the close, Prof. Stephens waved the
baton over the organ, band, choir, and
and all united In giving an
uplifting rendition of America" The |
master of ceremonies was Mr.. Harris, |
who offioiated with his customary tact. |
