FoWLER.PoRTER CONCERT.

A greater array Of local talent than
that produced last Monday night at
the First Baptist Church has not
shown in Nashville for long time.
The concert was under the manage
ment of Profs. Fowler and Porter. 1t
had been we'll advertised and many of
the lovers of high-class music were
present to witness the occasion. 1t
was here that the old school and the
new school met, both serving on the
program. The pastor, Rev. Ellington,
was assisted in making the occasion a
joyous one by Rev. Townsend, pastor
of Spruce Street Baptist Church, and
Rev. James Bond, pastor of Howard
Congregational Church. Although it
was $3.50 before the program began,
each number was well rendered and
highly applauded. Special mention is
due to the selection played by Miss Liz
zie Allen while Mrs. Josie Hender-
son and Miss Mary Reed made the
night joyous by singing "Tell me, mer-
ry birds of Spring" Mr. Thos Clay
Moore, a favorite son of Nashville,
sang the armour Song" Then came
the long expected and anxiously await
ed soprano solo, "For All Eternity" by
Angelo Mascheroni, sung by Mrs.
Georgia Taylor. 1t was this number
that united the singers of the seventies
with the singers of to-day. While Mrs.
Taylor was one of the original Jubilee
Singers of years ago, she still retains
the charms, the sweetness and the mel.
ody of old, as was demonstrated by her
Monday night. The address by Law
yer Mayfield was short but to the
point. Miss Mamie Perkins read two
qmusing selections from Dunbar tt
the delight of the audience Mr.. FREQ
Work sang and was encored. The last
number, Deep in the Mire," by Jude
was sung by Mr. Frank Fowler, who
was continuously applauded for anoth
or selection.
