Mr.. MACNICHOL'S RECITAL.
An Evening Of Rare Pleasure for Musi.
Lovers.

The pupils recital given, last even
ing at Music hall. by j. Francis Mac
Nichol. called together a goodly number
Of Au;,usta's music loving people, and
afforded them an evening Of real pleas
uTc.
The program was furnished entirely
by pupils of Mr.. MacNichol, the par
ticipants being Misses Mary Coughlin
and Mcrtie Lunt OF this city, Fred
Bates and Herbert Goodwin of Hallow-
ell, and Miss Ella Wise of Gardiner.
The Program was well chosen and ad-
mirably rendered. though some of the
selections were very difficult. Miss
6'oushlin's rendition of Gounod's ave
Maria" was exceptionally fine Her
singing showed purity of tone and
great range. Miss Lunt, too. was very
pleasing in her number. lullaby from
Jccelyn. The song runs high and is diff
ficult, but Miss Lunt sung it easily and
swcctlv. She has Il remarkable range.
and Il voice that is almost bird like i'll
its higher passages.
Miss Wiss sang Hearts Delight
very sweetly. This young lady possesses
Il voice of much power. and is Il singer
OF 4 great deal of promise. Mr.. Good
win had two numbers. Sword of Fer
rarar." by Bullard, and Allah" by
Chadwick. Mr. Goodwin is possessed of
a bass voice that is richness itself, and
of ample volume, and his singing was
much enjoyed.
Mir. Bates is Il baritone. and his num-
Der. Il selection from the oratorio Of
Elijah, furnished Il good opportunity to
display the possibilities of his voice.
He was like the others. generously en-
cortd. The affair passed off very pleas
antly, and the excellence with which
the program was rendered was IL credit
to the instructor, Mr.. MacNichol, and
to the pupils.
