IAN Evening In BirdIand."

The above title aptly describes in
few words the entertainment given by
Edward Avis at the Winthrop street
Baptist church last evening under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society.
That is just what it was-an evening
in birdland, when nearly every bird
of the field and forest came forth to
sing his songs to delighted audience.
and it was difficult at times to believe
that the song was not that of the bird
himself rather than an imitation
through the medium of human lips.
The effect was further carried out by
a series of sereopticon views showing
the birds themselves.
The program was delightful through
out and such was the faithfulness of
Mr.. Avis reproduction of the song
notes Of the different birds that many
Of his hearers were carried in memory
far beyond the portals of the old
church in which they sat and out into
the fields and woodlands where hum
dreds Of times they had stopped and
listened to just such songs, and it al
most seemed as if they could see amid
the foliage the birds themselves.
Particularly fine was his rendition of
the joyous song of the brown thresher,
one of our common and most beauti-
full songsters, whose liquid and varied
notes are a whole concert in them
selves. And then his songs of The
other thrushes, the Wilson thrush.
wood thrush. hermit thrush, and the
robin, We're given with degree of cor
rectness that could hardly have been
exceeded by the birds themselves. And
his imitation of the whole bird roper
toire was equally good
But this was not all. AS the even
ings program progressed Mr.. Avis
proved himself as much of a master of
the violin as of the bird songs, both
in his use of the instrument as an ac-
compartment and for solo purposes.
One particularly dainty solo was the
"Gipsy Dance" which was as beautiful
as it was novel, and scarcely less en-
joyable was the selection THE Pewee
and the Country Church Organ The
evening was one of rare enjoyment
and the audience present showed it's
appreciation of the merits of the en-
tertainment by its applause.

THE CONCERT TICKETS.

Editors Kennebec Journal:
To all holders of tickets to the
Schumann- Heink Concert l want to
recommend that they hold them, for
the concert surely will take place; but
Madame Schumann-Hein has been
suffering from grip cold and has
been obliged to cancel all her engage
ments and go south to recover and
when she gets in good voice. she will
surely come and fulfill her engage
ments in Maine and she is anxious to
do So 1t will be pleasure to her and
to us all when she does come. While
the disappointment is great, it is not
without compensation for it will come
at a time Of year when it will be more
agreeable and pleasant all around.
1t is great. deal of work to canvass
and sell tickets and, as everyone
knows who has been Obliged to stand
around to get their plaes,sit is not very
agreeable to secure YOUR seats and
think that all feel as l do that they
rather hold their tickets and know
just where they are than to dispose of
them and go through the same exper,-
ence later on, and trust that everyone
as far as possible will hold their
tickets, for our mutual accommodation
and benefit.
