Mistakenly says Tuesday night.  “[A] fine success.  The house was full, and the audience demonstratively appreciative of the young ladies’ reading and singing.  Everything passed off in order, as per programme, excellently well, with many recalls and some beautiful bouquets.  Dr. Clare W. Beames played the piano-forte accompaniments with much care and ability.”
