Hob good, Jr .Marlon Taylor, H.M.Shaw, Henry Osborn, Edward Hobgood, Sam Peace, Will Jones, Joslah Can nady. Henry Taylor, Tom Pruitt, E'rank Fort, Ben Hobgood. Jr., and Oscar Hawley. The music, the songs, and the con cert were all highly interesting and xtremely well rendered, and con gratulate each one of the participants upon the success achieved. We think special mention is due Master Marion aylor. who sang a solo, "Cappy Hunt," which was well received and warmly encored. Also the Quartet Messrs. Eatman, Shaw, Hobgood iF. ) and Howell. The instrumental music hy ailss Alice Hundley, tne gifted pianist of Durham, deserves pecial praise. She is acknowledged one of the li nest performers ever heard n ( xford. The encores during the entire pro gram were irequent, which showed how well the performance was re ceived. Vw people of Oxford are much in debted to Mr. Eatman for getting up uch a delightful entertainment. The songs as well as the tJrasshopper were greatly enjoyed. The costumes were rare and amusing, especially hatof Mr. Howell, The concert was nil of rich humor and was very ainus ug Indeed. We can truthfully say it was one )f the very best amateur perform ances ever given in oxtora, ana in deed was far better than the concerts given by many of the old and popu lar troupes.
