THE SECOND ORGAN RECITAL.
Mr. Holloway Pleased Large Audience Al ST.
Anne's Last Night.

The second of the Lenten organ re-
citals in st. Anne's Church upon the
recently rebuilt organ. was given last
night. The organist was Mr.. Lorraine
Holloway. a Fellow Of the Royal Col
lege OF 0rganists, England. He is af
present. organist and master of the
choiristers al the Church Of ST.
Michael and All Angels, Baltimore.
Assisting Mr. Holloway was Master
Causey Polk, soprano soloist.
The recital was varied and not too
long, lasting about one hour and a
half. II opened with Deshaye' Grand
Chorus in y and ended with Gull
mant's March in T. fiat. 1t included
two Andantes, one in 4 by Smart
aud one in A flat BY Delbruck. The
Funeral March by Chopin, common
ly played by the Naval Academy
Band, was one of the NUMBERS most
admired. The two selections by Bach
was marked contrasts and followed
each other. My Heart Ever Faith
full, charming song without words,
and his renowned 81. AIMS Fugue.
To introduce this latter Mr.. Hollo-
way played the hymn tune, so named,
which the great master of organ music
used for thesbasis OF the fugue. The
tune is usually sung to the words
20 God. our Help in Ages Past, = a
hymn more popular in England than
in the United States.
I Among some OF the minor compo-
sitions mention should be made of
Gounod' S 'Bercense" and Lemaigre's
Capriccio. The programme included
besides these an Allegretto by Sem
mems, a Meditation by Boellmann,
a concert fugue by Gilmant and Hes
etts Lieberlied. Mr.. Holloway is an'
artist of such ability it is difficult to
say which compositions are best rem
dered by him. Among organists lac
takes easily foremost place. Before
coming TO Baltimore he had charge of
the music for the Cowley Fathers at
the Church of ST. John the Evangelist.
Boston. Previous TO this appointment
he had served in the English Church,
where he was trained in a Cathedral
choir, first as boy, then an adult
chorister and lator assistant organ
ist.
The next recital. upon the coming
Thursday at p. M, will be by Mr..
II. ID. Phillips, Professor OF Organ In
strnction at the Peabody Conservatory
of Music, Baltimore. lie will be as
sisted by Prof. Bart Wlrtz, cellist,
Niolincello Instructor nj the Peabody.
These Lenten recitals, though de-
parture from the usual church life
and work al st. Anne's 5, have proven
very popular and cannot but be bsn-
eficial. one is Better spiritually for
them, and musieally taste is culti
waited and information disseminated.

"SEIDMORE" ESTATE SOLD.
Wealthy Louisiana Planter Purchases land
0n Chesapeake Bay.

Grant Parish, the Washington. n.
&. real estate operator in country prop
critics, has just sold the colonial estate
known rs "Skidmore. T" located about
six miles northeast Of Annapolis, ON
| Chesapeake Bay, TO GEN :. W.
I.abort, wealthy planter of Louis
lana. The property contains lSS acres.
The consideration paid for the estate
has not heen given out.
"Skidmore" adioins The historio
grounds with the old colonial mansion
known as whitehall" " the property
of Mrs. Story, Washington, and also
adjoins the Haekett Point estate, which
Mr.. Parish sold several weeks ago to
J. ;. $. Remsen. of Chevy Chase.
The 'Skidmoro'f estate is about
thirty minutes by water from An
nanolis, and possesses one of the lin
est salt water frontages OF any prop
erty on the Chesapeake. Ii is the in
tentoin of the new owner 10 spend
large amount of money in improving
this large tract Of agricultural lands
and make il one of the show places
among the country estates in Mary
land.
Mr.. Parish is much interested tn
Annapolis, and after operating i'm
the surrounding section for several
years, predicts that Mary lands capital
city is destined 60 become n second
Newport, and that at no distant data
the enyirons OF the United States
Naval Academy will consist OF largo
estates with palatial homes owned by
representative people from all parts
of the country.
The salt waters of the Chesapeake.
AIagothy, Whitehall and Round Bay
and the Severn, South. Rhode and
West rivers, with deep channels, mako
the locality especially attractive to
wealthy owners of ocean going yachts.
and the passing of the lands into
the hands OF this class of buyers Is
thought TO be the natural result.
Tho close proximity of Annapolis
10 Washington and Baltimore, together
with the completion of the electric
railroad now in course OF conslruc-
tion, will result in closer rslation-
ship Of the old aud quaint capital
city OF Maryland with the outside
world, and especially with the city
of Washington.
MIR. Grant Parish was in Annapolis
for several days during the past
week closing negotiations for another
important sale.
