Morgantown people have bec0me
somewhat accustomed to rare musical
treats in recent years, but no assem-
blaze of her people has been more
honored than were the members Of
the Fortnightly Club Friday night in
hearing the vocal selections sung by
Dean Sydney Lloyd Wrightson. He
never sang better, or with more SYM
pathetic sweetness. To those who
have heard him, and like his singing,
this will be recognized as a very high
tribute.
The evening was given up to Mr..
Wrightson, and his program OF selec-
lions from Strauss, Schubert and Alex
ander Won Fieliuz.
A sincere request was made that
there he no encores, or the Dean
might have been kept singing TIL
morning. so charmed was the large
company that bad braved the wealth
er to get out and hear him.
The accomplishments were played
by Miss Mabel Foster, who is an ar
fist at the piano. She plays witt
the greatest ease, and touch that S
tender as true. A vote OF thanks
was rendered by the Club to Mr..
Wrightson and to Miss Foster for this
rare musical treat.
Miss Brock gave a review Of the
last meeting of the Club, four weeks
ago, In her inimitable style.
A prominent visitor last night, one
OF the charter members of the Club,
said that one hundred and twenty
five dollars could not be better ex-
pended than 10 publishing bound vol
umes of the reports of the Secretary,
Miss Brock.
The Club was loyalty entertained by
Mr. and Mrs. Fraser in their hand
some new home in South Park. A
number of their friends were invited
to .enjoy this treat with the Fort
nightly Club. Most of the visitors
and members were taken over to the
Park 10 the new South Park bus, by
the hospitality OF Mr.. J. w. Wiles.
The night continued SO rainy that he
and the hosts could not be persuaded
from providing free carriages and bus
to bring the whole party back home
after the meeting. The thanks of all
those who were so highly favored are
extended to Mr.. Wiles and his COM
pany for this most agreeable courtesy
on a very dlsagreeable night.
Dean Wrightson gave most inter-
esting historical sketch Of some Of the
great composers as an introduction to
his program of selections from their
work. At the close, he announced
that Mr.. Max Heinrich can be per-
suaded to return here and give his
last concert In this country, before
his return to Europe. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wrightson would give their home for
the entertainment, and the cost
would thus he reduced to $3.50.
Twenty-Five dollars of this amount
had already been subscribed, so that II
the club will contribute $l25 to hear
Mr.. Heinrich again, be will come and
sing till morning II the audience de-
sire it. Mr.. Wrightson is very enthu-
siastic over his masters talent and
culture In music.
1t was decided to hold the next
meeting on Friday evening Of next
week, at the Ladies parlor at the
University, If no other place is pro-
vided. DR.. st. George Tucker Brooke
will read his enterta lining paper
which was missed two weeks ago, be-
cause no meeting place had been Sc
cured.
Prof Patteson presided in his ac-
customed graceful manner last night.
He created great deal of merriment
by his humorous way of announcing
subscriptions open to the proposed
musical concert.
