The charity concert which was given at St. Thomas church was a decided success and will undoubtedly be repeated each year. There was a large attendance and everyone was most appreciative and enthusiastic over the excellent program which was presented. The first part of the program was devoted to the rendition of Gounod's St. Cecelia mass, which is probably the most beautiful mass ever written. The solo work done by Mrs. Stebbins won the admiration of everyone. Her voice is a warm, clear contralto of wonderful range. Her solo was a most beautiful one and showed perfectly her voice in its wonderful power. She sang a duet with Miss Frances Caspary, which was also excellent. Mr. Howland sang with unusual power and strength and never was in better form. Each number deserves special mention, and praise of any one almost does the others justice. The receipts from the sale of tickets netted a goodly sum for the benefit of the various local charities. Prof. Renwick deserves special credit and praise for his tireless efforts to make the concert a success.
