ROBERT MACKENZIE TO SING.
With Adelphi Quartet, Which Comes to
Barre Feb. Is.

Some years ago, when the Scotch peo-
! Pile began hocking to our town in largr
4 numbers, there was. among such addi.
tions 10 our population. a widow with
several children. The youngest boy in
| this family was bright-eyed, curly
haired lad, everybody's friend and toward
whom everyone felt friendly. AS nearly
all his countrymcn had done. he chose
! stone cutting for his trade and became a
most excellent workman In the mean
while his naturally cheerful disposition
and good comradeship had made of him
quite a social favorite. As everyone
must contribute something toward the
pleasure OF a company, it came about
that his singing was relied upon for
most occasions where he was present,
although by himself his ability in that
direction was not highly considered.
After time. his friends came to real
ize that the voice he was using 30 gener-
ously and rather carelessly was Of rare
sweetness and at their solicitation he be-
gan to study music some under LEGAL
teachers. His reputation grew as the
possessor of an unusually fine tenor
voice, and Barre, Montpelier and sur
rounding towns began to make large de-
mands upon his time and generosity. At
length local teachers advised him to 20
to the city and give his voice the train
ing which, it deserved. This he did.
choosing Boston as the best place in
the country for this purpose 1t WAS
necessary that he should find place in
the city where he could work rs well
as study for he was entirely dependent
upon his own resources. Through friends
he was able to do this and found that
besides being a good stonecutter he could
be an excellent business man.
For several years he supported him
self paid for his costly musical training
and the many expenses incident to such
study by his work in a real estate offiae
After while his ingratiating PERSONAL
ity and talent as a singer gave him entire
into Boston musical circles AMI most ex-
eellent positions in church choirs and
choral societies. So numerous became
his calls for this work that he was
finally obliged to abandon the real estate
office and leave himself free to attend
to the demands of his musical engage
ments. To-day he is the mandgcr and
first tenor in the Adelphi quartet. which
is spoken of as "the" quartet of Boston,
The federation, wishing to close their
lecture and entertainment course with
something especially good. have engaged |
this Adelphi quartet for Feb. rs, when |
we will be able to welcome Mr.. Robert |
our Barre boy, ami enioy a |
concert given by him and his associates |
in this quartet, all of whom are artists
of the first rank.
Tickets go on sale Monday morning at |

to say:
MIR. Reardon's general activities dur

as in state politics, having been a re-
cent candidate for Lieutenant governor
on the Democrat ticket. and the real
founder of the Springfield Board of
Trade. through his interesting of the
mems club of the church in the project.
He is president of the Village Improve
ment society, also, and always has TAX
en- special interest in its work. Through
his connection with literary clubs and
other organizations, and his activities in
his pastoral work, he has been at all
times in intimatestouch with the pulse
oe the communicated in his departure
and that of his family the town, as
we'll as the church, will suffer an irrepar-
able loss. Mrs Reardon's skillfulness
a. musician has made her in great de-
mand in social circles, which, with her
church activities, has made her espe
cially well known. She and the chill
dren, also. have made warm place
for themselves in the hearts of a great
many people"
