Mrs. Geo. B. Allen last Saturday.
Sewel, there is loud clamoring fo1
you. Have you been exterminated?

Miss Leila Whittemore entertained
her school friend, Mi S Grace Nc
Farland of Hyde Park, at her home
here over Sunday last.
A SUCCESSFUL CONCERT.
The Concert given by the North
Hyde Park Chorus in the Congre-
gational Church at that place un-
under the direction of Parker Leach,
was a success both unsteady and in
attendance. The church was very
we'll filled and the audience was so
well pleased with the good work
done there that they were not back
ward in expressing their satisfaction
by applause and demanded several
encores.
The soloists, who are pupils of Prof.
Leach, were Miss Grace Mcfarland,
Soprano; Mrs. E. G. Page, Alto; Mr..
M. o. Heath, Basso and the "Arion"
Male Quartet. Mrs. Geo. B. Allen
was organist. 1t was the first APP
pearance on the concert platform of
Miss Mcfarland and the Arion."
They were both well received. Miss
Mcfarland has a very flexible So
prano voice, and later on we may
reasonably expect to see her take
front rank among our best Vermont
vocalists. She sang three numbers,
There is Green HILL" Gounod,
Butterfly Cay" Wetherby, and
the solo obligato in Bishops Chorus,
Daughter of Error" This solo is a
most enacting one, aud in it she
showed the range and fexibility of
her beautiful voice as we'll as her
dramatic power and perfect enunci-
alton. Mrs. Page sang two songs
and in a duet with Prof. Leach. She
was in excellent voice and received
well merited applause.
Mr.. Heath the Basso, sang an
Irish love song in good voice and
style, which evidently pleased his
hearers. The "Arion" Quartet is
composed of R. L. Mudgett, list
Tenor, F. P. Hill, 2na Tenor, Prof
Leach, LIST Bass, M. 0. Heath, End
Bass. They appeared four times on
program and gave the following:
Where Would l Be-" ZolIner, =" The
Three Chaffers," Truhn, q" She Said
That She'd be NV Bride" Per-
kins, and The Tickling Trio,
Martini. Taking their performance
as whole it was pleasing surprise
to their friends for it was in the
point of finish and shading far supe-
rior to that of most of the PROBES
sional quartets that visit us, and
they may be sure of a good reception
wherever they appear. One OF the
pleasing incidents of this concert
was the work of the younger mem
bers of the chorus, and the fine
singing Of three numbers assigned to
them was a credit both to them
selves and their instructor. They
will be valuable additions to the
choirs in the different churches where
they reside.
At the general rehearsal Saturday
afternoon, the 9th instant, a Central
Lamoille Valley Musical Association
was formed, and bylaws adopted,
with the following as officers: Presi-
dent, B. B. Blake, Eden Vice-Prcsi-
dents, F. P. Hill, HYDE Park and
Mrs. Geo. B. Allen, North HYDE Park;
Secretary, Mrs. E. G. Page, HYDE
Park; Treasurer, F. B. ODER, Tohn-
son; Executive Committee Mrs H.
c. Fisk of oMrrisville, Mrs o. A.
| Mcfarland of Johnson, Rev. Benz.
Dean, Rev. Daniel Gregory and Ira
| ODER of North Hyde Park. 1t is pro-
posed to hold musical festival nm.
der the conductorship of Prof. Parker
Leach, assisted by good solo talent
early in une, at some central point
in the Lamoille valley, and it is to be
expected that every public spirited
musician in this locality will assist
i'll supporting this laudable enter
prise. l.
The model for the statue of Gen
P. H. Sheridan, which is planned
does not meet the approval of Mrs
Sheridan.
