tions of this nature. The pianissimo
passage OF the rhapsody were handled
by Miss Russell with extreme deli
cacy, contrasting delightfully."- with the
resonance of the fortissimo chords.
A fascinating and brilliant technique
was evident in her playing of the Mos
zkowsky and Brahms numbers, but
for sheer poetic handling, her inter.
probation of Isolden's Liebestod far
excelled any of her other work. Miss
Russell has splendid talent and holds
forth promises of a great future.
Miss Helen Crumley's part was by
no means the least enjoyable feature
OF the program. Her soprano voice,
crystalline in purity and of a rich
quality, was put to a splendid test in
the program she chose for her recital
She sang with charm and smooth
ness, while her voice production and
breath control were beyond reproach.
Two numbers in particular aroused
enthusiasm. In Aylward's Deep In
My Heart Lutte Lay HID" her voice
was lovely beyond words. Extraordi-
nary musical insight, deep feeling and
good technique marked her singing of
Tschaikowsky's Jeanne dare"
Both Of the participants in the pro-
gram are thorough musicians and
merit the attention of music lovers
and critics. Miss Russell will study
in New York City this winter, while
Miss Crumley will resume her work
as instructor in the Wooster Conserv-
atory of Music. Miss Crumley, for
several years, has spent her summers
studying in the east.
The following is the program:
Sonata Op. rs, A Flat Major (Bee-
thoven-Miss Russell.

new Wooster road to the Ohio State
Sanatorlum and back by the Coshoc-
ton road and another section reversing
this route.
Shortly after seven o'clock, large
crowd had gathered on the public
square and II. M. Bobb, following two
very well.received solos by Harvey j..
Moore, assumed charge of the speech
making, telling of the purposes of the
trade tour and manifesting great pleas
ure over its success. He presented
Mayor Karb of Columbus.
This popular individual, almost as
well known, at least by name and rep
utation for big deeds, in Mt. Vernon
as in his native city, made some very
happy remarks about the hospitality
of the Mt. Vernon merchants and the
attractive appearance of the town,
commenting especially upon the beau
tiful country club and its golf course.
He pleaded that retail merchants of
Mt. Vernon try Columbus in stocking
up, setting it forth as one of the livest
and most complete cities, from man.
ufacturing standpoint, which has the
honor to be the capital of state.
President Bobb explained that it
had been the intention of the visiting
party to call upon all the merchants
of the city, but the automobile trip
had very pleasurably, according to
Bobb, upset these plans and that, ac-
cordingly, no Mt. Vernon business man
should feel neglected if he had not
been seen during the few minutes that
remained after the party returned to
the city. He then introduced Judge
Maurice H. Donahue of the supreme
court of the state.
Judge Donahue made reference to a
feeling of "homeiness" stealing over
him upon his arrival here and Of genu-
inc pleasure in meeting many old
friends he had known in years past. 1t
might be said that Judge Donabue, sit
ting on the appellate bench, visited
this city for years.
CHASING himself as an outsider and
a guest of the Columbus party, the
judge took occasion to compliment its
members on the spirit displayed dur
ing the trip, their laudable energy in
boosting Columbus manufactured pro-
ducts and general attitude Of friendli-
ness and good fellowship as displayed
on the sweep through a section of
Ohio. He put in strong word for
Columbus, urging increased patronage
on the part of Mt. Vernon retailers.
The trip, which started at $3.50 in
the morning, included stops at the fol-
lowing places: Cardington, Mt. Gilead,
Edison, Gallon, Crestline, Mansfield,
Lexington, Bellville, Butler, Freder-
icktown and Mt. Vernon. 1t is signifi-
cant and, at the same time, fiattering
that the stay here was three hours
and fifteen minutes in duration, longer
by full hour than at any other place
along the road
Owing to the illness of Robert
O'Brien, secretary of the association,
the trip was in charge of George W.
Gillette, acting secretary, James G..
Young, traffic manager and Don X.
Martin, director of publicity.

that their success in the musical
