May McDonald Hope, pianiste, and Josef Rosenfeld, violinist, of this city, presented a delightful progrumme at Blanchard Hall last evening, to an audience which should have been much larger, taking into consideration the excellence of the performance and the interest of the numbers. It has been pointed out before in these columns that the local musicians frequently offer more artistic things than the traveling virtuosi. Last evening Mrs. Hope played a sonata for violin and piano, written by Guillaume Lekeu, a modern Frenchman, who unfortunately died young, leaving among other works, only one sonata. Mrs.

Hope played with exceptional vivacity and charm, and those qualities of tone coloring and sincerity which were notable in her work a year ago, have grown and expanded, and her formen tendency to over -emotionalize has been restrained and tempered. One rarely hears a lovelier pianissimo than she obtains with the weight touch--nor a finer mezzo voice. Rosenfeld played with ardor and sympathy, and ried the moods of the composer well, He works up to high lights and generally illumined passages with a fine vigor, and the brilliant and vivid beautiful work brought him interpretation. Mary Gowans. contralto, sang some charming songs.

The great Aria from Debussy's two Augusta Holmes songs, and three songs written by Harold Webster, composer, of this elty, whose work has been instantaneously successful. The "Wood Minister" la a simple song, with the art of simplicity lighting it, and Mary Gowans, who has a powerful voice, sang It beautifully. Robert Alter, played with Mrs. Hope and Rosenfeld, the Arthur Foote Trio for piano and 'cello, They worked well together, Alter supplying the full requirements for the ensemble.
