Lexington College Recital.

ence was present at the opening
recital of Lexington College last
Monday evening. The same high
standard which has always been
/ a feature of their recitalS, was
maintained on this occasion.
Miss lone Davis who has
charge of the violin department
was heard for the first time in
Lexington. She opened the pro
gram with the Andante' from
the seventh concerto by DeBeriot.
This she played with delightful
ease and precision. Miss Davis is
ltg. fortunate posSesSor of an A
Imati violin which she handles in
Ian artistic manner. Her second
number a Cavatina by Bohm and
Scherzando by Cooper. was re-
ceived with extended applause.
She will undoubtedly be a favor
! ite in LeXintogn.
Miss Iva Maud Dunn showed
her dramatic power to good ad-
vantage in the scene from
"Queen Elizabeth" by Giacom-
ETH. She further demonstrated her
ability in the lighter numbers
Boston Woman at Reception"
and Who S Afraid?" These call
ed forth a tumultous round of
Applause and she was forced to
give several additional numbers.
Miss Dunn is especially artistic
in her impersonations and char
acter work.
Miss Robbins, director of the
> music department, who is so
: well known in Lexington again
demonstrated her ability as an art
list and master of the piano forte.
; Her first number "The Lark" by
BalakTew is a transcript Of eel
ebrated song by Glinka. The
second number AT the Foun-
tain" by Davidoff is entirely
composed of delicate repeating
notes to represent the sparkling Of
the water. Both numbers were
greatly appreciated as it was the
first time they had been heard in
Lexington. They were played
with a remarkable precision, and
digital dexterity as well as still
more noticeable preservation of
= musical feeling. She was forced
to respond to an encore.
Mrs. Cora Watjen Foster holds
high place in the esteem of
Lexington music lovers and
elsewhere. She has sweet lyric
soprano with an abundance of
strength and scope. Her careful e.
. nunciation, her thoughtful preci-
sion and understanding Of the mu-
steal idea embodied in each Selec-
ton gives them an especial charm.
Her numbers were a German song

No Decision Has Been Made as to
Distribution Of cup For Which

Tied.
BIGGsvILLE rs ENTERED
Il the First School to Send Letter An.
nouncins That They Will
Send Represen-
tativcs.

Biggsville athletes who tied with
the lone Moline representative at the
second annual Tri-State meet held IN
Keokuk last May, will again come to
the city to attend the third annual
meet This news was conveyed to
Manager Glen Parsons today in let
ter received from j. f. Henderson,
coach of the Biggsville squad.
The Illinois school is doubly anxious
to attend the meet, because two sill
yer loving cups are at stake. 1t is re-
membered that the two schools tied
with the result that no decision was
made as to the presentation of the
loving cup. Officials were undecided
as to what to do, and as yet nothing
has been decided upon as to the
award. 1t was planned to give the
cup as special prize, but this does
not seem to meet with the approval of
Blggsville That school advances the
argument that the cup should be put
up to be contested for between the
two schools tying, thus eliminating
The other schools, which could be just
ly done. The letter from Coach Hen
derson is as follows:
Dear Sir:
In answer to your letter of the oath
inst, want to say that we will be at
Keokuk with a team on May Z, 1910.
AS to the cup, do not think it had
ought to be given under the condi-
tions you named. Our idea is that the
cup should be put up between the two
schools, Moline and Biggsville, the
school winning the highest number of
points to receive tie cup, whether
both schools are represented or not.
This does not bar either school from
a chance to win the cup offered this
year.
AS to the giving of the. cup to the
highest Individual point winner dc
not think quite right as I think the
cup belongs to the two schools, Mo
line and Biggsville jointly and should
BE- settled between them alone.
We are only expressing our idea ant
do not want to think we are trying
to run things" We have not heard
what Moline thinks. but think thai
they will probably look at it in the
same way as we do.
Hoping this is satisfactory and tina
we are not causing any trouble or any
hard feelings, also wishing you very
successful meet, | remain
Your athletic friend,
J.F. HENDERSON,
Coach.
