} The writer will not attempta criti- 
- cism of the above program, other than 
to say that every number was very 
nicely given. 
_ The work of Mr. Huntting, basso, 
was particularly well received. His 
rendition of Gounod’s ‘She Alone 
_charmeth my sadness” was most ad- 
-mirably handled. He has excellent 
expression, and his solo parts in the 
he later were most effectively car- 
ried. He sang as an encore “Myself 
when young,’ from Lehmann’s ; “In 
a Persian garden.” 
Mrs. Tirrell sang the “Jewel song”’ 
rom Faust, which she handled very 
icely, and as an encore she sang 
hadwick’s “Thou are so like a 
_ The selections by the orchestra 
were very finely rendered, especially 
‘Minuet,’ by the string orchestra, 
which they were called upon to re- 
fate ihe duet by M. E. Packard 
and Carl Webster, flute and ’cello re- 
“pectvely, was very well received, and 
they were called upon to repeat part 
of the selection, which was from 
alevy’s “Le Clair.” 
_ The choral was at its best in the 
santata ‘The wreck of the Hesperus,” 
by Anderson, (text by Longfellow). 
The rendition of this took twenty 
minutes. ‘The solo parts were by Mrs. 
‘Tirrell and Mr. Hunting. Special 
Mention should also be made of 
Faure’s “ Palm Branches,” which was 
very well handled. On a whole the 
work of the chorus was very good and 
_ bespeaks the earnest effort of the con- 
ductor, Mr. Wonson. 
Miss Fanny K. Story of Gloucester 
was the accompanist.

WEDNESDAY EVENING CLUB 
University Male Quartet and Reader Furnish 
Entertainment for April Meeting 
The April meeting of the Wednes- 
day Evening club was held in the 
Chapel, Manchester, this week, when 
a delightful program was carried out 
by the University Male Quartet of 
Boston, and reader. Like all previous 
meetings of the club the capacity of 
the room was taxed’ to the limit, and 
everybody present appeared to thor- 
oughly enjoy every number on the 
program. 
The program was as follows : 
March Song, ‘‘Feller with the Drum’’ 
QUARTET 
Reading, ‘‘Lute Hawkin’s Wife” 
Harry Briccs 
Song, ‘‘On the Sea’’ Buck 
QUARTET 
Baritone Solo, ‘‘Conquered’ St. Quentin 
Mr. CHANDLER 
Reading, ‘‘A Question of Guilt’’ 
Mr. Briccs 
March Song, ‘‘Mulligan Musketeers’ ’ 
* QUARTET 
Monologue 
Mr. Lawron 
Song, ‘‘Medley”’ Arranged 
QUARTET 
Reading, ‘“The Railroad Crossing’’ 
Mr. Briccs 
Tenor Solo, ‘“The Wandering 
Knight’’ Eldridge 
Mr. BaLpwIn 
Song, ‘‘Winds are Hushed’’ Warren 
j QUARTET 
Reading, ‘“The Ballad of Elkanah B. 
Atkinson’’ Day 
Mr. Brices 
March Song, ‘‘Phantom Band’’ Thayer 
QUARTET 
The quartet is one of the best that 
has been heard here for some time. 
The voices blended splendidly. It 
was made up of: L. E. Baldwin, first 
tenor; Kho Lestiatch;. second "tenor;: 
W. A. Chandler, baritone, and F. H. 
Lawton, second basso. 
Asan encore to the “Feller with 
the Drum,” which was very well ren- 
dered, they sang a catchy air on 
“Women: Others: encores were 
“Brother Noah,’ ‘“Annie’s Eyes,” 
SPO@r Lizziese 
Harry Briggs, the reader, is a young 
man of marked ability. Every one of 
his numbers were encored and _ his 
selections were all very well rendered. 
He gave “James J. Godfrey,” one of 
Mark Twain’s short stories, as one of 
his encores. He made a hit with 
Holman IF. Day’s ‘“‘When ’Lish Played 
Ox,” also. As another encore he read 
Sam Walter Foss’s ‘The Confessions 
of a Lunkhead.”’ His power of articu- 
lation was excellent, especially in 
“The Ballad of Elkanah B. Atkinson,” 
by. Eis Day, 
Mr. Lawton’s monologue sketch 
was a pleasing feature. The solos by 
Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Chandler, too, 
were very finely rendered. 
On the whole, it would be hard to 
find a team of equal ability who could 
entertain an audience for a whole 
evening as did this one. Miss Edith 
Beatrice Webster was the accompa- 
nist.
