...programme consisted of Beethoven's Leonora overture, No. 3, and prelude andante and gavotte by Bach. Schubert's fantasia in C for piano and orchestra and Volkmann's symphony in D minor.

After playing two selections from Schuman (Op. 28 and Op. 17). Prof. Paine said he would venture to play two compositions of his own. The first was a delightful fugue on "Over the Fence is Out," which was received by such prolonged applause as to demand a repitition. The second, a romance, followed by three selections...
