Ruth Cliff was to have been one of

Athens selection, The Imperial
Soldier" is strong piece in some parts
but not equal to his Grafton. The story
is one of an old French soldier, very
loyal &c his king, who has son that
goes to war and deserts. The part
where the old soldier catches his son
deserving is the best part of the story
and Mr. Anthem did full justice to it.
Miss Leah Deutsch was close second.
She and Mr.. Anthem divided the first
pl aces between themselves. Altten get
ting three and Miss Deutsch two Both
received two second places. The selec-

boy and his sister. The piece suited
Miss Deutsch to perfection and her rep

splendid
