and there was a tacit understanding that there would be no encores but the insist ence of the audience brought an Ave Maria from Mr Snyder and some witty remarks from Rev Daley in addition to ti his eloquent recitation of Father Ryans grand poem on the death of his brother in the civil war The excellent program as acceptably rendered was as follows rnoauAM Piano solo RiBolIottu Miss Howe Sodb
