rious institutions and commissions created
for the benefit of our people and the perti-

Greensboro Musical Convention.
The Caspian Lake Musical Association, of
which Rev. r. j. Barton is president, held a
musical convention at this place three days
last week, which was in every way
success. There were about fifty in the
chorus, This chorus was made up of
singers who were capable of executing
difficult music. All the parts were well
sustained and ualanced. Some of the
prominent chourses taken up were, "The
Grenadiers by Schuman, 'PilgrimiC Chours"
by Wagner, Schubert's "Who is Sylvia"
and others. Charles s. Conant, the con-
ductor, was first class in every. way, and
drilled his chorus to high degree OF
efficiency. His beautiful rendering OF
Schubert's "Serensde" and his own LEAD
Kindly Light" were highly appreciated.
Among the soloists we mention Mrs. G..
E. Howe of Williamson, Mass, whose
beautiful voice was displayed at great ad-
vantage in Allitsen's ''Song of Thanks
giving" Miss Alice Sanborn of Boston
sang, ''Donald Blair' by Henschel. Harry
MAY of Concord rendered the ssBandolero''
by Stuart, in his usual dramatic manner.
