Tho second half of the 'Spring ■Song' was treated a little more sympathetically than the first; sho also showed a little more confidence —eviclenoly very conscientious and a worker." Of a vocal student who sang -Thus Saith the Lord" and "But Who Miv- Abide" from Handel's "Messiah," he says: 'He sang with a good deal of l drug, and the runs were steady and clean."" Words wore good, with some contrasted vowel tone, and there was a good deal of vigour and mythm. He sang with ease and confidence and mainly correctly. Ho shows distinct promise." "
