On Wednesday, August ist | Miss
Hildreth Lennox, A. T. C. M., will give
& recital in Assembly hall, Hazelton
in aid of the Hazelton Hospital. _ All
are Invited to attend this affair as it
will be well worth while.. Miss Len-
nox is a very accomplished lady and
draws large audiences in the big elties.
The Barrie, Ont., paper reports her
concert there as follows :—

‘Judging from the applause Miss Len-
nox held her audience from the very
first number which was the’ brilliant
Pianoforte Morceau de Salon, “Harpe |
Folienne,” by. Smith, followed by the
famous Tocatto by Paradies, in which
she displayed great flexibility of touch
and verve of expression. Misg Len-
nox’s next offerings were two Very fine
humorous impersonations, the first in
the rich and expressive dialect of Bon-
nie Scotland, entitled, “The Speech.”
The second was “A Young: Bride’s
First Cali on the Butcher,” which was
i. splendid imitation of the accent of
the typical Oxford Grad.

“The next appearance of the young
recitalist was as a vocalist, and here -
she displayed a contraito voice of great
beauty of tone with plenty of volume
and great compass,-and as one, Listen-
er was heard to remark, “Without a
harsh note from beginning to end.”
