the best and most learned musicians.
The whole soul of the girl was thrown
into every piece and the strains of the
instrument seemed to speak words,
sing songs, whisper love, and in fact
tell stories almost as plain as spok en-
words. 1t was pronounced wonderful
by all and the execution of the works
of Mendelssohn, Chopin, Rubinstein,
Alkan, List and other masters was
little short of marvellous. 1.-The
Wind' by Alkan was most realistic
piece and one could almost imagine
himself where the zephyrs whispered
and the blasts of the hurricane
Numbered. Turkish March," where
the band is heard in the distance and
marches by, was another selection
where the piano seemed to become
that which was being initiated, real
band. The most difficult selections
were played with apparent ease and
the execution of the last piece, in re-
Spouse to an encore, with the left hand
alone, was wonderful and most diff
cult thing to do. At the close Of the
entertainment, r. A. Davis for the
band spoke of their appreciation for
the entertainment, and announced that
the band would make $131 as result
of Miss Verne's services.
Miss Verne will give another recital
| in Seaver's opera hall, Barton, Friday
evening, and these two are the only
recitals she will give outside the large
cities, the circumstances of her spend
ing her vacation in Glover and forming
a large number of acquaintance IN
these towns has made it possible TOR
her friends to persuade her to play.
She will go next month to New York,
Boston and other large cities for the
season, expects to spend next summer
in Australia, and may not visit Amer
lea again soon. The program, which
consists of 16 numbers, will include
Chopin's masterpiece, the great sonata
with the Funeral March (Which is the
finest funeral march ever composed),
the wonderfully descriptive piece,
..The Wind" by Alkan, and the Turk
ish March, where one hears the band
coming from the distance and passing
by. Musicians of this part of Vermont
will undoubtedly take advantage Of the
opportunity of hearing Miss Verne.
The advance sale of tickets at Pierce s
is now very large. See advertisement.
