 HaVenerS.

 ceSscS.

The artists Of the company as whole were amongst the best ever heard in New Haven and their interpretation of the Scottish songs was given to perfection. J. M. Hamilton, Scotlands greatest tenor, more than upheld his reputation He is the possessor of a voice of rare sweetness and power and his interpre- tation of the The Tea Rigg" and the "Braes O Balquedder," were sufficient ly well executed to bring hearty and generous round of applause that could only be quelled by his reappearance. MT. Hamilton was highly successful in his Jacobite songs also; Miss Mary M. Macleod, the Scottish soprano, fairly cntWined herself around the hearts of her audience, who were not slow to recognize her ability, to render them. Her rendition of the March of the Cameron Men," fairly brought down the house. The duets by MT. Hamil- ton and Miss Macleod were another pleasing feature of the concert. Miss Elsie Dixon Craig is an elocutionist of more than ordinary ability. She is the possessor of a well moderated voice which she uses to splendid ad- vantage. Miss Forbes, who played the accompaniments did much to help out the success of the concert and her Scottish selections were finely execut- ed. The dance which followed the con- cert was taken part in by lao couples,
