The Organ Recital.

All lovers Of music who were present
at the Presbyterian church Friday eve
ming, enjoyed q rare treat in the recital
given by Miss Bertha Foster of the
Florida College for Women, assisted by
Mr.. ]. A. Turner of Tampa, who per-
formed on the violin.
Miss Foster is a graduate of the Gin
cinnati College of Music and came to
this State from the Lucy Cobb Insti-
tute, Athens, Ga. Mr.. Turner is said
to be the finest violinist in the State.
Both Miss Foster and Mr.. Turner are
artists of the highest order.
The first number on the program was
the 'Hallelujah Chorus" from Handles
Messiah. The first time the Hallelujah
Chorus was played before King George
l. in i784, the audience rose involuntar-
lily to their feet and remained standing
throughout the entire performance
from whence originated the practice
still prevalent of standing during the
playing Of the Hallelujah Chorus. The
second on the program was the Spring
Song" by Hollins, which was brimful
Of good cheer and suggestive of the
glad spring time.
Next came the Gothic suite by Boell-
man, consisting of four parts.
The fourth number on the program
was a violin solo by Mr.. Turner, A
Romance from the End Concerto, by
Wieniawski, followed by short inter-
mission.
Then came the most difficult selection
of the evening, a Fantasia in G minor,
by Bach, which was rendered by Miss
Foster with great skill.
After the Fantasia was "The Swan"
by Saint Saens, consisting of q series
of wave-like undultations reminding one
of the rise and fall of the swan upon
the bosom of some placid lake.
The Funeral March and Angels Ser
enade, composed by Guilmant, was
the next on the program. This numerr
was remarkably we'll executed. It is
designed for an orchestra. Miss FOs-
ter initiated the drums by using the
pedals, playing the accompaniment |
with her hands, One almost fancied one
could see the funeral procession clad in

mortal remains Of some beloved chief |
