Elizabeth Seton Guild Will
Have Meeting This

GRADUATION
AT sTRATFIELD
Bridge at Sanford Home,
Monday For Overseas
Hospital.

Bridgeport people will be very
! much interested to know that Bruce
Simonds, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
D. Simonds of Norman street, was
awarded the Samuel S. Sanford Feh
lowship for excelling in the study OF
the piano. This fellowship amounts
to $4,000, which is to be devoted to
the pursuit of the study of the piano,
and is paid at the rate of $1,000 a
year. It was originally intended by
Mr.. Sanford when he made this gift
that the winner should spend the
| money studying with the best masters
i'll France and Germany.
Needless to say young Mr.. Simonds
will not spend any of his time or
money in Germany next year or for
| number of years to. come and it is
doubtful if he goes to France. Just
how he will use the fund is a ques-
ton. The award was made at the
last meeting of the Yale School of
Music which was held recently and ct
which Mr.. Simonds played a concerto
of his own composition,
Last evening with Quincy Porter
with whom he has given a numbea
| of recitals for the benefit of the Red
| Cross during the past year which net
| ted over $4,000, Mr.. Simonds gave an
other delightful concert in Simsbury.
Mr.. Porter is soon to enter the ser
vice and so will be unable to take
part in any more reoitals. Mr.. ST.
monds is contemplating another con-
| cert tour for the benefit of the Red
| Cross, unless he is called on to serve
the government in some branch of
! the selective service.
| There will be meeting this even
ing at o'clock of the Elizabeth Sc
ton Guild at st. Augustine's school.
Every member is urged to be present,
and to bring a candidate for mem
bership to the meeting.
