The students’ recital at the Pres byterian College last night was a delightful event in every sense of the word. The excellence of the work shown by the performers reflected distinct credit not only upon their own talents, but upon the efficiency of their respective teachers, demon strating forceably that the reorganiz ed school of music of the institution is established upon a plane than which there is none superior in the South. Every branch of the department was represented and the work of every student was a tribute to her teacher. Especially pleasing were the song numbers, the advanced students of Mrs. Minnie Wtiston Smith show ing unsurpassed training, the clear enunciation and superior technique being noticeable in all the voices. The progress of the students of organ and piano, students • of Dr. Fisher and the piano teachers, was shown in an equally striking manner, while probably no part of the program was more enjoyed than the rendifion of the violin numbers by students of Mrs. C. R. Fisher. OFF TO TENNESSEE.
