4 most successful musicale was
given last night at 81. Mary's Hall
under the direction Of Prof. Charles
A. zimmerman, for the benefit of ST.
Marv's Church. The audience was
large and included many distin-
guished people, among whom were

man. Admiral James II. Sands, super
iutendont OF the Naval Academy and
Mrs. Sands. the Misses Sands. Lieut..

Mrs Clark and many others.
The music-loving audience was en-
thusiatsic and gave the singers, espec-
tally the bass soloist, MIR. Harry
Montaudon smith, of Baltimore, an
ovation. All the numbers on the pro
gram werA OF high order and were
exceptionally we'll rendered, and il is
inyidious To particularize. The fol-
lowing was the personnel:
Iyra Quartet Elizabeth kilian Ros-
omer. soprano; Martha Washington

Cox. contralto; Elizabeth Hammond

Montandon Smith.

Sims, bass.
Violin Quartet Herman Holden,
Charles a. Zimmerman, Henry A.
Schreyer, Adolph Torovsky. Accom-
anist, Charles A. Zimmerman.
A violin quartet was something new
for Annapolis, but its part in the pro-
gram was a striking feature and high
ly pleased the audience. Their rendi-
tion of sPraludium and Rondo, by
Sarawolski, aud also the adalgo move
ment from Concerto i'm &C" were
masterpieces and were exquisitely
played.
The program opened with three Sc
lections by the string quintet of the
Naval Academy orchestra. Two of
these selections, the cello Solo
Cavatina, Opus AZ. and the Berecuese -
Cradle Song, were by Zimmerman,
the accompanies of the evening, who
is composer as well as a high-class
musician, and director of the Naval
Academy band. The cradle song was
one of the musical gems of the even
ing and its tuneful melody and soft
caressing notes will linger in the mem
DRY of those who heard this compost
ton because OF its inherent beauty.
The Lyra Quartet sang very sweetly.
Each voice blended tremendously with
the other with pleasing effect. The
Scotch melody Robin Adair and the
song behind the Lattice" were es-
pecially effective. The quartet sings
withouC accompaniment. The clear
and beautiful soprano and mezzo-so-
prano and the melodious contralto
and deep, though sweet, full tones of
the alto, were IN perfect harmony, good
tone and excel lent time, and they
sang with fine effect.
The songs by Mr.. Smith, the bass
soloist. were source of unbounded
pleasure to all who heard him. He
sings with perfect ease and his tones
are round, full and melodious, and
his enunciation was a delight 10 his
hearers. His The Two Grenadiers'
by Schuman, sung by request, was
n masterpiece. Mr.. Smith was made
to respond to two encores each time
he sang and was very obliging and
unlike most professionals. His solos
were a delightful feature of the pro-
gram, and his work during the even
ing was source vi cOutlhual uellsht'
on account of bad cold the So
prano was not able TO sing solo parts,
and the mezzo-soprano sang in her
stead. Miss Row has a clear bell-like
voice and her tones are rich and
sweet. She sang "The Swallows by
Coven, with fine effect. The alto
solo, ITO Sevilla, was beautifully
rendered by Miss Thomas, whose tones
combine strength with tenderness.
Those who managed the concert are to
be congratulated upon having secured
such musical aggregation, whose
work during the entire evening was a
source of continual delight.
