A Grand Musical Treat.

Gault appeared in concert. 1t
was an unqualified success. The
house was filed with a most ap-
preciative audience and their en-
joyment and interest were at
tested by the close and respect
full attention during the rendition
of every number. II is seldom
one finds u better behaved audi
ence in an interior town where
such talent is seldom heard and
very rarely appreciated by n
large gathering of people.
So well were the artists receiv-
ed and the evident interest mani
tested that Mr.. Reed informed
the writer before taking his de-
parture for Portland that he was
seriously considering the PROPOSE
ton of returning to Burns this
fall and give another concert he
will certainly do so if he remains
on the coast instead of returning
to England, as he now has under
consideration. Mr.. Reed has q
charming personality and at once
won the people with his manner
and most excellent voice. He is
certainly an exceptional singer
and one who knows music as few
do. The writer is not capable Of
going into detail respecting the
numbers on the program, as It
was difficult for him to express
preference in any Of the several
selections rendered. Mr.. Reed
seemed to have perfect control
of his voice and each time he APP
peared it seemed he did better.
THE Little White House" group
appealed particularly to his hear
ers, although he rendered more
difficult numbers. His repertoire
ranged from grand opera to sim
pie ballads in dialect and each
was rendered with such feeling
and voice as to bring generous
applause and appreciation.
Mrs. Gaults numbers were
particularly pleasing as her many
admirers in this city were most
agreeably surprised at the i'm
provement since her three months
coaching with Mr.. Reed in Port
land. Mrs. Gault has been a
fayorite among the singers OF
this place for several years and
she has on many occasions shown
her ability in this line but her
friends were hardly prepared to
hear such Il wonderful improve
ment in her already superb voice.
She rendered the most difficult |
numbers in very charming way |
and quite captivated her listeners.
Some of her numbers were most
brilliant and showed her wonder
full range to great advantage.
Her duets with Mr.. Reed showed
the excellent quality of her voice
and these were well received.
The numbers rendered by the
Treble Clef Club, the young ladies
who have been under the tutor
ship of Mrs. Gault. were very
pleasing and added to the enjoy
nent of the entertainment. Mrs.
A. G. Welcome accompanied these
n a very able manner.
James ID. Fellows, the accom-
,lished pianist accompanied Mr..
Reed and Mrs. Gault and added
most charmingly to the success
# the entertainment. Mr.. Eel
ows showed his skill and mastery
# the instrument by following
he difficult music in a very SYM
,athetic manner.
In all it was decidedly the most
lassical musical entertainment
yer undertaken in this city and
vas Of such high character as
will instill a higher ideal among
he music lovers. of which Burns
as a large number. The re-
1arkable talent in this line was
emarked by Mr.. Reed during
is stay here and he was especi-
lily generous in his criticisms.

representative that he was agree

ertainly fortunate in having
