Miss Coard's S Recital.

A large audience attended Miss
Goldie Coard's song recital for
graduation at Central college
Friday evening, and this au-
dience could not help being en-
thusiastic and appreciative.
About three years ago Miss
Coard came to Central with a
little voice and a great deal Of
determination. This determma-
ton, combined with willingness
to work hard and an ability to
work well, enabled her to develop
so that she gave one Of the best
song recitals ever heard at the
college. Her voice is now
strong, flexible, true and ex-
ceedingly pleasing. Her recital
was indeed a triumph for her
and for the voice department Of
Central.
The program follows:
ORATORIO Handel
l Know that my Redeemer lveth
(Aria from the Messiah)
GERMAN SONGS:
Was ist Sylvia Schubert
Standchen Schubert
Du bist vie cine Blume
Schumann
Der Sandman Schumann
ITALIAN OPERA:
o luce di quest anima
(Linda di Chamounix) Donizetti
Recitativo
Cavatina ALA Polacca
ENGLISH SONGS:
Roses of Spring are Banished
Hardee
The Song of Luddy-Dud
Hadley
Across the Hills Rummel
Ecstasy Rogers
A May Morning Denza
Roses after Rain Liza Lehman
The Birth of Morn Leoni
Burst, Ye Apple Buds Emery
In the first number Miss
Coard with her district enmcia
ton, her clear tones and pre-
possessing stage appearance made
a most pleasing impression and
assured the audience that the
program would be a delightful
one. She sustained the long
notes without sign of tremor
or suggestion of effort. Her
breathing was perfect, her at
tack sure.
The German group was adj
mirably handled and the italian
Opera number, with its ex-
quisite colorature provoked a
great deal of applause.
The English songs were of
course, the most popular. "The
Song of Luddy-Dud" was so
splendidly done that the audience
insisted on a repetition of it.
After every group Miss COard
was forced to return to the
stage to acknowledge the
applause and after the program
was finished the auditors tried
in vain to get an encore.
Miss Coard had her songs
memorized perfectly and in her
words there was absolutely no
indistinctness or hesitation. Her
carriage and facial expression

GOING TO SEE ECLIPSE.
Astronomers Will Journey to Islands
of the South Pacific.

The total solar eclipse which is to
darken the far southern portion Of this
hemisphere April 20 Is now attract
ing the attention Of astronomers, who
take the advantage OF this character OF
celestial phenomena to solve great
questions of lifelong investigations. As
shown by the chart Of it's path OF
totality, the eclipse will be almost
wholly over waters surrounding a few
small islands in the far southern Pa
cific ocean.
This eclipse in the atmosphere OF the
far south, If the sky is clear at all,
it is believed, will afford a splendid
opportunity for astronomical investf-

Of the moons shadow will pass over
three archipelagoes, those OF Tonga,

The points Of observation from which
astronomers are to view this phenomeni
will be appraised coral formed islands
known as the Vavau and Tofua. The
hills or mountain peaks there rise from
1900 to 1000 feet in the air from the
placid waters OF the Pacific ocean and
on them astronomical instruments are
to be placed for observations.
1t is said there will be three expedi-
tions sent to those islands.
Tau Island, in the archipelago Of Sa-

astronomical observations. The island

rather sharply when the United States

of the week. Mining shares closed fiat

by and selling both mining shares and
foreign bonds.
American securities were almost neg

Some Losses Recorded
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste.

adam Pacific made another high record.
Price changes of the standard stocks, as
a whole, were without significance, and
business, as in the last few days, was
light almost to the verge of stagnation.
Official figures of February exports
showed a striking increase from the cor
responding month last year. While the
greater part of the gain in values Of ex-
ports from $49.o45,O0O in 1910 to SS7 1853, 600
this year was due to heavier shipments
of cotton, increases were reported in al
most all OF the other items. The total

March 1 the surplusage had been increased

The Financier will say:
The flow of currency for the past week
has been toward the interior rather than
from 1t. and the statement of the clear
ing-house banks issued March IL showed
a decrease of $3,499,2pO in cash, which
did not vary greatly from the general
estimates. The banks are still increasing
their loans, the gain in that item for the
past week having been $40. 723,3O0 The
expansion in the. loan item since the be-
ginning of the year, it may be noted. has
been something like S10O.OO0.0OO. The de-
posits of the banks increased by reason
of the expansions in loans. $S,O91 500. In
cident to the changes mentioned. the re-
serve on all deposits fell $6,004, 100, the
surplus standing at the close of the week
at $50, s42, so. The figures given above
are based on the report of actual condi-
tions. The weekly report. according to
the system of averages, showed gain OF
a little less than Sc, 100000 in loans. de-
crease of something over $3.02S, 400 In
cash, and an increase of SIS. 10000 in de-
posts. The reserve, figured on the aver
age basis. stood Saturday at s34.62a, 3375.
The summary of trust companies and
other outside institutions indicated a loss
Of So, 800 in loans, decrease OF a lit
tie less than 81 COO. GOO in cash, and a loss
of st, 100000 in net deposits. The state
ment of the banks. while it shows pre-
vailing conditions, does not indicate alto
gether the potential strength of the stu
alton. since very large amounts of Amer
lean funds are being carried abroad in
the loan market and otherwise.
