A Presentation
During the rehersal of "Elijah" at the First
Congregational church, yesterday afternooon, a fine etching was
presented to Mrs. P. V. Raymond by the members of her chorus. The
speech that is always needed on such
occasions was made by Mr. D'Enyer. He referred very gracefully to
the training given the chorus by Mrs. Raymond, before he arrived
to complete the work for the festival, and said that in his
opinion there is not another woman in the United States who is
her equal as a director. - Lincoln Journal
