 Friday night at Monteagle, Tenn. to a
 great audience. Miss Allen Gray Moor ing of this city received a vertiable
 ovation, according to Birmingham folk
 who heard her. She is a pupil of MT.
 and Mrs. William Gussen. Too much can hardly be said of this splendid young girl who has worked so faith fully and so well for the measure of success which has been hers this sum- mer. She/ has much talent, great patience and most artistic tempera-
 ment. The success of the festival in
 Monteagle was largely due to her con- certo.
 A Birmingham matron wrote thus:
 T thought as Allan Gray Mooring was
 a young Brmin gham girl, you would be
 glad to have the enclosed programme.
 The festival was great success, but
 the way she was received made my
 heart glad. She had four recalls, and
 gorgeous flowers. MT Gussen, who had
 come up to hear her play. was one
 broad smile, and so she was happy.
 Mime. Zimmerman of New York, who
 was the soloist the second night, was
 great; also Earnest, the Pennsylvania
 tenor There were fully 35o0 people in the audience and they were surely en- thusiastic and encouraging. Mont eagle has been crowded this summer and for the music festival accommoda- tion could not be secured. It has been a most delightful sumner"
