GRAND CONCERT.
The Grand Concert given by the
students Of Central College is always
the GROWING event Of the year. 1t
Is on this occasion the finished work
of the college is presented TO the
audience, the programme being ex.
ecuted by the senior members OF the
different departments. Young ladies,
who several years ago n%ervously per-
formed simpler numbers, after hard
study and patience and perseverance
under competent direction have
learned to execute the most difficult
compositions with all the ease and
accuracy Of an artist.
The programme Monday evening
was quite in keeping with the ones
we are accustomed to expect when
Mr.. Conrad has the arrangement
thereof. 1t is entirely unnecessary
TO say complimentary things of Mr..
Conrad's ability as director of the
School of Music. His students each
year speak for that in a most en-
phatic and satisfactory way,
The young ladies whose names
appear on the programme and whose
homes are not in Lexington as we'll as
those who live here are known to
Lexington audiences through previous
with programmes given
by the college, so they were all greeted
Monday evening as friends in whom
we feel special interest.
