programme was opened shortly with two quartettes by Mesdames Lanphier and Shorrock and Messrs. Paine and Whittick,—which were much appreciated. Miss Richard's violin solo was loudly applaud ed and she had to appear again and p cored, and she responded with "It's a Glorious Thing to be a Queen." Mr. E. Hall's playing of Chopin's Ballade in A flat was a finished performance, and he ily deserved the applause which it evoked. He also had to play a second time. Mrs. Lauphier closed the first part of the programme with three pretty little songs by Mande Valerie White, and it is needless to say that she did full justice to them.
The second part was opened by Misses Jansen and Richard with two duets.
