Most Ardent Admirers

Hall Game, the famous novelist, is
one Of the greatest admirers Of John
Mccormack, the distinguished tenor

Il was about two years ago that the
author OF The Christian first heard
OF the great tenor. that everybody else
was talking about. It was on the oc-
casion Of Mr.. McCormack's first visit
to Ostend. The first song made q great
impression on the novelist. and when
he had heard few more items rend-
cred as he had never heard them be-
fore. he was quite unable to keep his
feelings to himself After the concert,
at any rate. ne took out one OF his
cards. on which he wrote few words,
and then sent it up to the artist.
The message on the card was very
complimentary and read as follows:
This has been one. OF the delightful
treats of my life. Allow me to thank
you for and compliment you on the
most beautiful and human singing
I've ever listened to-"
