land OF gay costumes. crumbling

A Choice Musicale.

Lovers of good music enjoyed rare
treat at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. John
G. Clark on Friday evening. where about
100 gathered to a musicale. Our St.
Johnsbury artists did themselves great
credit and it was frequent remark of
the evening that few towns of this size
could be found where there is so much
promising musical talent. The musicale
was given in honor Of DR.. George r.
Clark of Boston and he was enthusias-
tically received when he rose to sing. Bv
request he sang as an encore to his first
selection "The Ninety and Nine" of his
own composition. and it is also of
interest to know that his last song was
dedicated to him by the author. DR..
Clark's voice was never in better condi-
ton and he possesses remarkable range
and has the voice under splendid control.
In one OF his selections he reached B fiat
