Grant was born fourteen years ago} on the farm of his father, Mr. Harry` Mayor, `Big Bay Point, and very early in -life showed` 9. decided prefer- ence 'and `an acute ear for mugic. \Vh_en but arhere child he could learn any song, andxhis father recognizing this na.t-ur`a.l_ta.l12nt sent him to Mr. J. H. Morgan, the talented` leader of trajiiing. Mr. lllorgan at once saw that the lad had a {xhenomenal voice,` . a pure` contralto, and took special . pains to assisit him in developing the} latent talent which is bound to Bring! this yauiig vocalist into }:1`01Dll1(`-I189`! ' t-hroug*houtCthe Province. - i In solo work,` or `in the ducts and! itrios in which Grant has appeared in conjunction with- Masters Robert Vino and Aubrey Brown, Master "Mayor seems equally at home, but his pure contraltol voice shows to best ad- vaxltage in solo work. At Orillia a few weeks ago Grant Mayor delight- ed the large audience. as did also the other two boys mentioned `above. ;compete{I_1t training of Mr. Morgan.` - s- V " . i There Is "every reason to believe that this young vocalist. under the. . , 1 W111 appear as top-linen` on many a` (`.0n'ce1*t- program. !`_NEw.M.z_xRKET- DI'rcH' STILL D1-ZAP.

Gaiety ' ` A V ` ` Success I , I L Lyric Soprano. \ About a year ago a. small, unase-. suming lad of twelve years of age, sang. a solo in St. Andrew s Church. He was nervous and the solo was not ,aL1togetzher- a success, but it was his first public appearance, and it 4 was stage _fright-that bane of the performer-which militated against -his success. The lad was Master Robert` Vine, son of Mr. and Mrs. TD.-Vine,`Owen St., Barrie, and al- though his ist public appearance was not as_ satisfying as could be ex- .pected, the quality and the extensive lrange of the -l!ad s voice, were noted by all who `heard him. Since that _' time Master Robert has` gained in `condence; and under the tutelage of `Mr. J. II. Morgan he has learned how to command that `splendid voice with which Nature has endowed him. `He has appeared many times since and ~ lstrange to say,thc stage fright which ruined the effect of his rst solo, has i" `never bothered" him since. About two . months ago he took the soprano part L in a duet with Master Grant Mayor, and since thattime these boys ' have sting. many duets. The boy has a. I remarkably clear musical` voice and ; his enunciation is always `distinct. i His solos are a welcome addition ` 3 to any concert program or in the "l service of praise in the church. E - ) .
