THE CONCERT.
As a fitting finale to the com
mencement exercises at Young Fe
male College, was the delightful con
cert on Wednesday night in the
chapel, hy the music class of Miss
Sophie Jones, tho accomplished Prin
cipal of the Music Department of thc
institution. The programme em
braced many rare musical gems, both
vocal and instrumental, and we much
regret that space will not allow ns to
notice each of thc performers.
Long before the hour for the open
ing of the concert, eight o’clock, the
chapel was densely packed by the
parents and friends of the class. Thc
rear and sides of the stage were beau
tifidly and artistically decorated with
ferns, vines, evergreens and flowers,
while from the ceiling hung a number
of baskets filled with plants and flow
ers. The eficct was very pleasing
The good natured audience waited
patiently for Messrs. Hawkins and
Drcyer to draw thc curtains, which
would disclose the class in a chorus
song. Promptly thb young ladies
and thc little tots, bright little rose
buds, fragrant with sweetness and
crowned with purity, marched on the
stage and sang: “Oh! .Softly Rii
Bright Summer Moon,” by Straus
The class received an ovation ; and
they deserved it.
The following young ladies and
misses took part in the program :
Misses Norma Bike, Livic Fitting
Dora Dekle, Annie Carroll, Lizzie
Carroll, Rosa Flcisher, Mill)’ Finish
or, Eva Jennings, Ollie Horn, Rosa
lie Levy, Willou Thomas, Dais}' De
kle, Daisy Mitchell, Nellie Pringle,
Ruth Mitchell, Mary Stephens, Nora
Millsnp, Nellie Jennings and May
Day Dekle.
The song, "Bend of the River,” hy
Miss Nortna Rike, was loudly encor
ed. Miss Rike re-appeared and gave
the audience another verse.
‘ A Bird From O’er the Sea,” by
Miss Dora Dekle, was also encored,
when thc young lady gracefully rc
[sponded to tlie repeated calls’
The "Three Old Maids,” hy Misses
Dekle, Pringle and Horn, brought
down the house. They, too, were re
called and had to sing again.
"Market Day,” by the class, was
charmingly given, each girl coquet-
tislily carrying a basket of flowers on
her arm.
"Sometimes Think of Me,” by Miss
Annie Carroll, was splendidly render
ed, as was a fantasia on Scotch airs,
hy Misses Ruth Mitahull, Nellie Prin
gle aud Livic Pittman.
"I Doubt It,” hy Miss Livic Pitt
man, was one of the taking pieces of
the eveuiug, as was also “Too I.ate to
Marry,” hy Miss Daisy -Mitchell.
“Come Where Sleep the Dewy Vi
olets,” a duet, by Misses Norma Rike
and Annie Crrroll, was keenly en
joyed.
“Wandering in the May Time,” hy
Daisy Mitchell and Daisy Dekle, cap-
tivated“the audience.
The instrumental pieces were well
j chosen, and performed in a manner
j to reflect the highest credit on Miss
Jones andjhcr pupils. T never heard a
better concert in thc chapel," was the
remark of a lady, and she is a good
judge ef music, when leaving the
building, at the close of the perform
ance.
At the close of tho performance,
in the absence of Hou. S. G. Mc
Lendon, who had been requested to
deliver the medals, Hon. Robert G.
Mitchell, by request ol Miss Jones,
stepped to the front of the stage, and
iu a few, hut well chosen remarks,
presented medals to tho following
gramme, it was impossible for several
encores to be responded to.
We have never seen a better lie
linved audience in the chapel.
The hallway between the hoarding
department and the chapel, was a
favorite resort.
Miss Jones deserves much credit
for the manner in which she got up
thc concert. It was a most gratifyin;
success.
Frank Hawkins and Joe Dreyer
make good stage managers.
Another commencement lues closed,
leaving many tender memories twin
ing and clinging about Young Female
College. Another class has gone out
into the world.
.Some of the sweet notes of the songs
as they filled the chapel, and floated
out on thc 3oft evening air in dyinj
cadences, will linger long in the mem
ory of those who heard.
The
the
Oldest Woman
World.
Capt. l’ainc in his rounds has struck
sonic pretty old people. Walking in-
t i a cabin on ——^trcct, yesterday, he
found; a decrepit, colored woman,
whose head was as white as snow.
How old arc you aunty?" asked
the census man, very loud.
Fo de Lord, I don’t know, honey ;
but I’sc mighty old, I can tell you
dat.”
Do you remember seeing George
Washington ?” asked the representa
tive of Mr I’orter.
What, (leorge Washington ? Bless
yo’ soul, I’sc missed him on dis same
knee many a time. Why, I kno-ved
his granddaddy.”
This was’too much for Spaulding;
be put the old woman at zoo years
calculating that this age would
make her contemporaneous with
the grandfather -of thc father of
his country.
