The Lost Chord as a qua'tette was the
opening number where The harmony Of
voices of Mrs. Ferguson, Miss Wagner,
Mr. Harris and Mr. Wagner was very
pleasing. then followed Mis-; Spencer and
Miss Presley in Sohubert's Military March

the audience in the song fDo you Rem
ember" as few had before heard Miss
Face or realized the pleasing tones Of her
voice, the Misses Cora Robiason and Nab

harmony Of voices. The Blight Spanish
Dances Nos. | and 2, by Misses Wilson

Ferguson, as one Of our appreciated voices
in the city always pleases, as she did in
the solo, "A Rose in Heaven" Miss Camp

skill and appreciation of the subject in
hand, Mr. Wagner deserves especial men,

rich in tone, Miss Ireland next on the pro-
gram is one of our young musicians OF
much ability and both in her piano sole
and as accompanist she contributed much
to the success Of the evening Miss Weeks

solo. 81 loye you and Miss Stall, surprised
the audience iE her beautiful rendering OF
the solo IF we're a Rose, Misses Fisher
