and professor of music both at Mount
Holyoke and Smith colleges. AS Mr..
Hammond is very busy man Stafford
is exceedingly fortunate in having the
opportunitay to hear him, and both
lovers of organ music and those who
are more partial to other forms of
music will heartily enjoy this con-

Mr.. Hammond's concert last week
was keenly appreciated by a large
audience. Miss Donnell, the Boston
reader, who assists, has been heard
here before. She needs no recon-
mendation, as the skillfulness and
piquancy of her work is too we'll
known and appreciated. Her appear
ance here is awaited with eagerness.
