DIN COLLEGE FRIDAY EVENING
The Second Weekly Recital Was
Well Attended And the Audience
Listened to a Well Prepared
Prcgramme-RecitaIs Growing in
Popularity.

The second weekly Students re.
cital took place last evening, a good
sized and ~appreciatiye audience being
present.
Misses Gupton and Emmons. OF
the class of Mrs. Adam, both gave
evidence Of careful training. Miss
Gupton has a light, pleasing and very
flexible voice and sings with style
and taste. Miss Emmon's voice is
of considerable power, and without
doubt will gain in richness.
Miss Rulings a pupil OF Miss Jacks
presented her number in a thorough
ly composed and interesting way.
The pianists, Misses McGlasson
and Shanks, of the class of MIR. Har.
wood, had their work well memorlzed
and both played with repose of man
ner. Miss Shanks has a good tech
mic and played with such refinement
as TO reflect credit on her Instructor.
She, however, requires to be more
careful In the use of the pedal.
These reeeitals are evidently grow
ing in popularity, Notwithstanding tbs
fact of there being SO many other
things to engage attention.
