And now let us be honest and
confess that this is one of the times
in the history Of the Herald when it
sorely faments that it hasn't on its
staff a musical critic OF real merit
For Cne whose soul is stirred by
Dixie as it is by no other ditty,
and who has actually been feasting
on rag time" to be bold enough
to pass judgment on a
production of classic cut and scien-
tific feature is as though a fool
would rush in where angels fear to
tread"
And yet when Mrs. Kerlin touch
ed those keys, and made them ODE
dent to tie every touch, we confess
that a feeling of satisfaction posses
sed us and held us in charming cap
tivity And then when Mrs. Price.
the princess of singers from the city
hard by the sea, stood before the
footlights, and with one dash caus-
ed the night air TO thrill with sweet
est melody. and Miss Adams follow
ed with that rich, full moving con-
tralto, our heart scared with the
singers, and we experienced q sense
Of genuine pride at feeling at home
in the upper stories Of the house of
music
Singly, we recognized them as su-
preme. but when their voices blend
ed. note seemed TO bow v note with
the grace of a queen. and then note
seemed TO embrace note, and note
to kiss note sign and seal of happy
and harmonious marriage OF voices.
Soprano. song of the morning. spark

We didn't "yell'" out. for rebels on
ly yell when Dixie" falls upon the
ear but deeD down ia our hearts
well spring Of jcg was opened which
is flowing still.
We sometimes wonder at the glad
greeting those Normal girls are al
ways ready to give to Dr. Jarman,
when they see him every day, and
sometimes to their sorrow, and yet &c
remains true that their eyes do grow
brighter whenever he stands before
tse footlights. and they always make
the welkin ring with glad shouts OF
welcome and approval The presi-
dent was in good voice, and whether
telling Of the "year" or the dream"
a,one or with Mrs. Price feeling
for the angel Spirit, he swept the
girls by storm and charmed all who
were privileged to hear him.
Miss Smith read with her wonted
naturalness, manner and expression .
