EAST WOODSTOCK

The choir of the Putnam Congrega. tional church assisted by ,quintette from Clark College, Worcester, onter. tained Ilarge and thoroughly appre. ciative audience in the auditorium of the Congregational church here last Friday evening. The selection and sr- rangement of the numbers exhibited excellent taste, and the rendering Tn both special parts and chorus reflected much credit upon all concerned.
 l.. 0. Williams, the director and pi anist, has evidently; done large amount of painstaking work on his young troupe of singers. We might venture to make particular mention of the solos of Misses Clifford and Far mer and of Messrs. Smith and Shaw, as well os the instrumental duet by Miss Ellis and MT. Williams. The people of East Woodstock and particularly the church are very grateful for the visit of this body of musicians who gave their services to the church gra tuitousiy and cheerfully.
 Thanks are also due to Herman B. Chandler who was once associated with this choiI and who did much to secure their services and make the en. terprise success. Supper was served the visitors in the chapel under the di rection of Mesdames John and Chester May.
