Pleasing Recital.
1t is always pleasure to chron-
icle a musical entertainment given
under the direction of Mrs. Kath-
arine Ewertsen Gray, and the song
recital given by her pupils at the
Presbyterian church last evening,
was. in point Of excellence, not in
ferior. to those. which have proceed
ed it.
In looking over tho program one
noticed some old fayorites among the
singers, and many new names, and
at the recital, one listened to voices
which though unfamiliar, showed the
careful teaching which her pupils
are always sure to receive and which
give promise Of adding most pleas
antly to NIankato's long list of
charming vocalists.
Among SO many well rendered Sc
lectiOns, it would be invidiOuS to
make individual mention, the whole
entertainment being very enjoyable,
rejecting great credit upon each one
who had a part, and again demon.
strating the exceptional ability of
Mrs. Gray not only as a delightful
accOmpanist, but more especially as
a teacher of the voice.
The closing number was "Inflan-
matus" from "Stabat Mater" and
was admirably rendered by mixed
chorus Of harmonious and well bal
anced voices, showing most thorough
and painstaking study and very skill
full training.
That such recitals are highly edu-
catiOnal, and real musical uplift
to any town, goes without saying,
and Mankato is very fortunate in
the series of entertainments of the
kind already given by this teacher
and her pupils and the unusually
large and enthusiastic audience that

tive, that the evenings program was
