IN THE REALM OF MUSIC, AM ENJOYABLE EVENING AT THE

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Au Interesting - Programme Rendered liy Mr. Scott of Hobart and Our

Own Home Talent. The ciulcrfaiument under the auspices

ol the Ohiisl iau Endeavor Hoelety of the Presbyter ian Church on Wednesday evening was a success. The llrst cum-bur oil t he p rog ramme wuu given by Mrs A. Hnlpern. Immediately niter the Orel, barn were given we recognised one oC Durand ' s wa i t /us . Mrs. HtUperu's version was real ly entertaining. Her creseeudos, dooiosoendos and staccato notes gavo excellent effect. The llrst musical selection put the audience In good humor. L i t t l e luoz, Carman then had something to Bay and she did it so nicely t h a t s h e received deserved ap­plause, l i v ing Lioksou then gave us a vocul solo which was excellently ren­dered. Ho has a pleasing voice and handles it well. Next we wore treated to a recitation by Miss 'Mary Kelly. Miss Kelly had the faculty of. keeping the audience in l augh te r during her stay. A quar te t te composed of Mrs. Gladstone, Mis. Roterimind, Mr. Dickson and Mr. Dean gave us a selection which some­what divurslfiud t h e entertainment. The different pa r t s of t h e 'selection and with the members combined pleased the hear­ers very much.

The name of J . Howard Scott was then announced. Mr. 8cot t was with us about a year ago on a similar occasion. He was kindly remembered and here and there applause waa given. A polonaise by Bohm was bia first number. I t Is one of those selections fur the violin tha t can be interpreted by the soloist to make the hearers think they are on the road to dreamland and t h e n again they are In­terrupted by the effect the accelerated passages create . H e handled it with tha t nicety and delicacy that whou the last notes went away the audience gave hi in such a hea r ty applause tha t ho gave them "Slmplo Confession," which tolls its own story-

George Kuetiu appeared to bo in excel­lent form arid tho manner in which he made foreign dialect pleased the audi-euce, particularly t h e younger portion. The vocal solo by Miss Irene Dickson was clear and dis t inct . For her effort sho receivod applause. Charles Allabeu gavo us a cornet solo, ami considering the short t ime lie had to work on it it was nicely given. Mlas Paulino Gladstone's recitation was given with the assurance of a person much ohlor than she. Her euuuelatlon was good and she received generous applause. Li t t le Ruth Eelle, olttd in a garb of old glory, gave us a patriotic solo. A piano duett by Mrs. Gladstone and Miss Hull proved to bo a ploaslug number . T h e y apparentlyknew each other well, for in uot a single In-did eithor Inflict a wound to a single part of the other. They bad the applause given which they earned.

Mr. Soott was nex t in order. This time ho gave us one of those Polish dances, which is chock full of syncopated passages. Whenever the dolce parte were given they had tel l lug effect, This solcoliou Is of t h a t o r d e r that will plaoe the lover.of Hue music In euelacles, It can be kindly r emembered for the warmth of fooling it has created. Mr. Bcott was most excellently ass is ted in all of his soloe by the Kov. Dr. Edwards, whose flue touch and r a re j udgmout uevor once allowed him to abuse a pianissimo purt.

Miss Linda Hardeuborg ' s rooltatlou showed no little forethought; and study, Applause greeted her efforts. Goorgo Kueliu gave a vooal nolo that was so nicely snug t h a t It was encored, Mr, Kuohii has a voice t h a t la clear, his enun­ciation Is good, and It might bo olassod with those of a na tura l melody, Douglas Hplors'e recitation waa clothed In much thought aud his del ivery had tha t free­dom which always m a k e s a subject of the nature of his fofohlug. Little Clara MoOumber sung nicely without a Bluglo falter. The last number , a piano solo by Miss Nettle Bouton, contained various movements. I t was well given and the linger movements wore something out of tlio ordinary. Applause.

Miss Bertha Hull and Mrs, Harvey Gladstone did untold service us uooom-ponlsts. The pre l iminary work thoy had to do Is fully appreciated by tho Christian Hudoavor Society and ovory person con­nected With tlio church. To everybody who took part in tlio eutermulmuont the mombois of tlio church a r e Indebted,
