OrGan Recital Last Night.

Professor Elias Blum proved him
self to be musician who has init
mate knowledge of the great classical
forms. In the program were included
two compositions from the greatest Or
gan writers, Mendelssohn and Bash.
The Sonata in a. major by Mendel-
sschn opened the program.
The second part of the program was
an unusual composition written for
organ and piano. The main theme,
pastoral in character is haunting in
it seXquesite beauty. Mr.. Sterlings
work at the piano was most artistic
and sympathetic.
One of the most striking numbers
was the Motto PerpetuS written by
Rheinberger for violin and organ. The
very difficult and complicated violin
part was executed with ease and pre-
cision by Mr.. Williams. The program
closed with the great Toccata and
Fugue in D minor by Bach. This
composition, one of Bach's greatest
was executed most skilfully and dis
played to good advantage the thorough
musicianship in the performer.
