A Musical Treat.

The concert in the Christian church Fri
day evening more than fulfilled its prom
ise Of rare enjoyment TO the lovers OF good
music OF whom about three hundred as
sembled in the large auditorium.
There was much regret that illness pre-
vented Miss Anna 4. Treat OF New Haven,
Conn.,, from singing, as was expected, but
extra numbers by the other soloists were
given to allay the disappointment felt and
make good the vacant place upon the pro
gram.
Charles e. Wood, a salaried singer in
the Cong'l church OF Woburn, Mass, de
lighted the audience with the full, round
tones OF his magnificent tenor voice, whose
charm and quality are not TO be gainsaid.
His solos were features OF the program and
were received with enthusiasm. His tai
ented wife, Mrs. Gertrude Seavey Wood,
was the yiolinist OF the evening, playing
with exquisite taste obigatos for the yo-
calists, but showing the fineness OF her art
more particularly in a solo.
Miss NJ. Blanche Sparhawk, whose pure
soprano voice seems TO grow daily in rich
ness and power, was never heard to better
advantage. Her smooth, liquid notes
flowed easily and had a range and volume
of sound that suggested the possibility OF
limitless flights OF song. Her brother, Rev.
W. r. SparhaWk. who has but lately re-
turned from California, gave hute solo,
with violin and piano aocompaniments,
that was very much enjoyed.
The melodious soprano OF Miss Grace q.
Lamson rose sweet and clear in selections
that showed the compass OF carefully
trained and very beautiful voice. She sang
with much expression and won hearty
rounds OF applause.
Miss Edith A. Marcott, whose skillful
touch lets loose the imprisoned music in
piano or organ, proved herself an excep-
tional pianist, and IN her pipe organ solo,
"March OF the Magi," stimulated the
imagination with an Oriental tone picture.
Miss Mary Il. Lamson, also clever pianist,
filled the role OF accompanist exceedingly
well.
Miss Josephine A. Hodges OF the Center,
a graduate in the first years course or
National School OF Elocution in Philadel-
pha was the reader, and "AuX ltaliens"
by Lytton, pathetic selection. was given
by her in a finished manner. For an en-
core, she appeared, in lighter vein, as
Japanese maiden with coquettish Ian
and a musical background in a piano ac-
compartment by her sister, Mrs. Alfred
Wells.
The concert, under the management of
Miss Annie Walsh, proved success, not
only from an artistic, but financial,
point OF view, the receipts amounting To
$50. The program follows:-
