After the invocation by Rev. W. W. Curtis, Miss Mabel Morrison opened the program with that magnificent piano solo "Polonaise" op. 55, by Chopin, and rendered it in a grand and majestic style.

Mrs. Denny followed with a dainty piece of execution, a piaro solo entitled Elfenreigen op. 17, by Kroeger, in which she brought out some really excel. lent shading. The Ladies Quartet consist ing of Misses Hunt, Wiley, Bugbee and Creighton, sang in a pleasant manner the old time favorite, Schubert's Miss Emma Waldron's sketch of delivered in a pleasing manner, prepared the audience for her piano solo "Kamen noi Ostro op 22, by Rubinstein, which she played with excellent taste, clearly sustaining those entrancing chords."

Miss Mabel Morrison's sketch of the history of the Erlking as depicted in Goethe's poem, in Schubert's song, in Liezt's piano solo, was particularly interesting and made her interpretation of the piano solo much more Intelligible to the audience.

Miss Clara Wiley sang most pathetically the Tide Comes In," and sarg "Supposing" in response to an insistent recall. The sketch of Franz Liszt by Mrs. E.

C. Denny, which elecited applause for its merit, was well written with a bumorous turn now and then. She continued with a piano solo by Liszt entitled "Huogarian Rhapsodie" No. 12. Her interpretation of this number was truly phrasing, technique and expression.

Mrs. Denny' Work was all done from memory which was a feat in itself. The Lyre Quartette followed with 8 choice number, rendered in their usual good taste, and for encore gave a comic song which carried the house by storm. Prof. Parsons gave a list of the names of graduates from the commercial depart ment after which In a few fitting remarks Mrs.

Black presented the music students with their diplomas. The second part of the program consisted of a duologue, entitled "Breaking; the by Miss Corah Mooney and Mr. Bruce Ridenour.
