Bralthwaite, econd tenor; Willard S. Haynie, bari- one, and John C. Smith, bass The work of orchestra was particu- larly pleasing in “The Dying Poet" of Gottschalk, the tone in the legato passages being especlally soft and mellow. This composition looses toward the end the legato is aban- doned and a more or less staccato passage is introduced. Miss Peter sang Mrs. Beach’s “Ah, Love, But a Day,” With excellent ex- pressign and well-rounded tone, and was forced to respond with an encore.
