was taken before the performance
began, and the usual perfect order
and discipline marked the entire
performance.
Notwithstanding the absence of
at least four of the performers
whose names were connected witn
seven numbers on the 'program!
the evening's repertoire was car5
ried out entire, other performers
having been hastily substituted al
most at the last hour. So perfect
were the renditions that the most
critical auditor could detect no
discord; thus attesting the splendid
training, received under these ex- V
pert teachers, as well as the ca
pacity and aptitude of the young
musicians.
The program contained fourteen
numbers,- including solos, duets,
trios, quartetts and quintetts, clos
ing with a full orchestral rendi
tion. The selections were from
the high class authors, and brought
into (prominent exercise the best

i Such perfect control , order, de

of the program that every one in
the audience was delighted, and all
were filled with regret that the
entertainment was so soon over.
The achievement of last night
adds another triumph to the
Neave Conservatory of Music, and
makes Salisburians proud that
such a splendid institution is lo
