Show SrxDAT School Coxctrt. Being unable to attend this concert, on Tuesday Tues-day night, in the 13th Ward Assembly Kooms. a gentleman preseit has eour teously furnished us a notice. The opening glee was carefally rendered, but the song '"Music Everywhere" was where our musical sympathies were awakened, by the youthful, healthy-looking healthy-looking girls who sang this charming production; as also in their other song, "There is beauty everywhere." "The Catch" was ably executed, and Mr. Spirmg's "Popular Creed" was weil enunciated. Mrs. Thompson has a sweei voice, which was demonstrated in the various pieces she sung. Space will not permit me to note all the excellencies ex-cellencies of last evening: but the recitations reci-tations by tne Masters Wiscomb were indeed promising, and Miss Wiseomb's "Fortune and Love" was very good. The song "Do they pray for me at home, ' evoked peculiar reflections of "Home, sweet htme." The gems of the eveninj were : "The Sweet May." and "Her bright smile haunts me still." By unanimous request Mr. Te us "They all are talking !i?U-JS-lLchoru hr the. entire schooL wmcTrwss renaeTBa witn a gusto. After the closing song, "Hard Times," felicitous and happy remarks were made by Supt. Musser, Mr. Maiben j and the Bishop, the congregation rose to their feet and all sang the Doxology. Thus ended a two-hours' fine musical treat. Home talent presents a wide and beautiful field for culture. Would that these concerts could be more frequent. fre-quent. They are less fatiguing than some other amusements, more elevating, eleva-ting, and music, you know, lifts a man nearer God. The concert was free. Mr. Daynes presided at the organ, Mr. Spiring-conducted, and Mr. Goddard presided. |
