A splendid entertainment was given Jan. 2d at Shawmut church. Rev. Barton, the pastor, gave a very entertaining and instructive lecture on "The Origin and Development of Negro Melodies." Rev. Mr. Barton was assisted by Miss Harriette Gibbs, Director of the Eckstein Conservatory, and a pianist of unusual ability and culture. The music on the programme, including primitive Slave Melodies, the Polonaise in E, and the 6th Rhapsodie by Listz, splendidly rendered, made not only an impression on the thinking mind but showed the possibilities of the Race in musical advancement.—Boston Leader.

PRESS NOTICES.

Miss Harriette Gibbs, a Graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, gave her first recital here last evening. A good audience greeted her and were delighted with her programme. She proved herself a pianist of decided ability. Miss Gibbs is raising money for a building at Eckstein Norton University. Her plea, also, for her own race, and her devotion to their welfare, is one to move all hearts.—*Springfield Republican*.

Those who attended the meeting at the Park street church last evening enjoyed exceedingly the selections on the piano given by Miss Harriette A. Gibbs, and the vocal selections of the famous colored tenor, Sidney Woodward, of Boston. Both showed themselves to be thorough artists.—*Springfield Union*.

Miss Gibbs proved herself to be a pianist of more than ordinary merit, and delighted the large audience assembled to hear her.—*Daily, St Paul, Minn.*

Miss Gibbs is the first Afro-American who has graduated after a full regular course from any music school of note. She is a brilliant, intelligent performer, of superior technique, her octave work being of especial excellence.—*Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio*.

The piano recital by Miss Hattie A. Gibbs at the Wesley chapel, was largely attended and truly an elegant musical treat, showing fine interpretation and skillful technique.—*Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock*.

Mr. Davis is a bold and dashing adventurer upon the dangerous sea of chromatics, skips, harmonics and double stops, but in spite of head winds, rocks, and the loss of a mast now and then, he sails safely into port in brilliant style, with all his colors flying. In certain passages he showed exquisite and delicate execution.—*Boston Daily Advertiser*.

Mr. Davis, of Boston, made his first appearance as a violinist in the popular Fantasie by Vieux-temps. The variation in parts was especially good, showing what is so rare with violinists, a perfect intonation. We welcome this virtuoso to the ranks of Chautauque musicians.—*Chautauqua Herald, N. Y.*

Before the New England Conferences Mr. Woodward was introduced, and sang a classical sacred selection, in a tenor voice so sweet and pure and in a manner so attractive, that the Congregation burst into applause and demanded a repetition of the song.—*Boston Herald*.

The singing of Mr. Sidney Woodward is inspiring and captivating. He took his audience from the start by his gentle bearing and clear penetrating voice. Mr. Woodward is successful anywhere.—*Boston Times*.

### CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC.

Harmony and Composition, Piano Forte, Vocal Culture, Organ.

### ORCHESTRAL DEPARTMENT.

The above department is established for the purpose of affording superior advantages for pursuing the study of music in all its highest branches. The course has been planned with care, and adheres to the methods of the finest conservatories in the World. It tends to a symmetrical development of all the musical faculties, which is essential in the true musician, whether teacher or virtuoso. Children should receive instruction early and under the best teacher, for without a good foundation no high degree of music can be obtained. It is a grievous mistake to commence a child under a poor teacher, and think after a few terms to secure a superior one. In such a case the pupil has a great portion, or all to learn over, which is hard and discouraging.
