The recital at Fisher's opera house last night was a succers, both from an artistic and ilnaneial standpoint. It would be difficult to single vat any one of the contributors to the delight ful program as d-s-;rvlng of greater mention than the others, but there wi 1 surely be no llsa.tit.rs to the congratu lation received by Mrs. J. T. Ro up on the successful .-occlusion of the af fair. She has been the dominant spirit of the enterprise and had vnueh to do with its planning, in addition she gave freely of her own vocal talents and th" encore which the audience demand ed, with an enthusiasm that refused to be plucitej with a bowing acknowi-ciig-m'nt, evidenced her personal tri umph as well as the recital's success. The opening nmotxr was a clarinet solo by Mr. George Price, "La Travl tlna." by Verdi. Mr. Price was as ulsiid b the Columbia orchestra. The first chorus number, "Hark. Hark My Soul," by Shelly, presented Mlss.s Hob son ar.d Fost.-r, Mesdame J. T. Ross am: C. L. Hotuton. and Messrs. Ros, Hirr, Thornton and Garner. Mrs. C. R. Hip-gins played the accompaniment. Whlh; the applause was liberal and sincere it was evident that the audience whs anxiously awaiting the solo num bers and Mrs. Ross was heartily wel comed wh-n she arrpeared to sli.g, "Star of Love." accompanied by the Columbia orchestra. In responding to the encore, Mrs. Ross sang "My Old Kentucky Home," and the popular old melody appealed to th- audl nie as old songs will. Mrs. Ross' two other numbers were delightful, particularly the "Salute a la France," with ringing martial measures. Pre ceding It was a dainty, charming lit tle lullaby by Vannah. Mr. MoKean was. as always, artis tic an l excellent. His first monologue. Bret Harte's "Luke," was splendidly giv en.
