Special Programme Skilfully Ren dered With Marked Talent Last Night at Presbyterian College : Misses Owen and Wltherspoon As- sisted by Dr. and Mrs. C. B. Fisher. . The following programme, which was given in the auditorium of the Presbyterian College last, night, fur nished a most delightful evening ; to those of Charlotte's people who ap preciate the beautiful productions of music . as an art. . The occasion was the Joint recital of. Miss Mary Bris coe Owen and r Miss Annie Gaither Wltherspoon, candidates for gradua tion In pianoforte, these being as sisted by Dr! and Mrs. C. R.

Each seDarate' number ot the pro gramme . may, be mentioned for Its excellence and attractivenessana. the .arrangement of these numbers was such as to bring out the . peculiar beauty of each by contrast, Both young ladies played with the ease and facility, which come rrom a good technical ground-work alone, and their interpretation of - the in dividual numbers showed the trua artistic temperament which under stands the composer's Idea and con veys it to the hearer.' ' ' ' ?' Miss WItherspoon's k rendering of the Schubert-Liszt "Hark! Hark, the Lark!" deserves special ' mention, showing much - more ; than usual ability in so young a pianist , - "The -. Chase,"- by Rheinberger, seemed 'particularly suited to Miss Owen and the listeners could easily enter into the spirit of this de scriptive piece. Dr. Fisher has kindly joined his pupils in their recital work by sup plying some organ numbers. In this recital It was the celebrated "Storm," by Leramensv-ln-which "the oreanlst j-showed himself master of the In strument, , - '' : " In the "Allegro ' Con ' Brio," from Beethoven's C, Minor Concerto,, Mrs. Fisher, r at the - organ,""-added-s the orchestral part " and assisted the pianists in making of this a most at--tractive finale.
