Musical and Literary Entertainment

“An interesting entertainment was given last evening at the Church of the New Jerusalem which attracted a large and fashionable assemblage. The programme included quartets, duos, solos, and pianoforte selections by well known comnposers, as well as recitations, all of which were creditably rendered and seemed to give general satisfaction. In the second part Miss Emily M. Stone, who possesses an excellent soprano voice, noticeable alike for its sweetness and power, received quite an ovation for the highly artistic manner in which she sang ‘Waiting.’ In ‘The Evening Song’ and also in the quartet from ‘Rigoletto,’ and in the sextet from ‘Lucia,’ her voice was also heard to advantage. A symphonia quartet, consisting of Messrs. Maas, G. M. Dennison, L. F. Weismann and G. P. Warner, contributed much to the enjoyment of the occasion. Miss Forster, contralto; Mr. J. Jewett, baritone; Mr. Stark, elocutionist; and Mr. H. N. Bartlett, pianist, also contributed much to the success of the concert, which was altogether well arranged and a source of pleasure to those in attendance.”
