21Readers of the "Musical Clubs" column will find the following story from the Lewiston (Me.) Sun interesting: "The late Annie Louise Cary once figured in an amusing incident at one of the monthly meetings of the Boston Clef Club, which deserves to be rescued from oblivion. The club was composed exclusively of men, all interested directly or indirectly in music, and at the meetings the best of entertainment was always provided by the members themselves. Among these were the two brothers Will and John Winch, who at this time were in great demand owing to their beautiful voices. Will Winch possessed a magnificent bass, and John an equally fine tenor. On the occasion in question their contribution to the evening's entertainment was a novel composition of their own, a supposed duet between an old, world experienced tom cat and his hot headed, impatient son, who had fallen hopelessly in love with a sleek tabby of the neighborhood. Seating themselves on the edge of the platform, on which stood nothing save an ordinary Japanese screen, the two singers began their amusing performance, which opened with a stern upbraiding of the youthful back fence prowler by his more prudent and experienced father. The reply was given by the tenor, who, breaking forth into an impassioned love song, poured forth his whole soul in the praises of his mistress and of the divine passion. Having reached the highest tone of his voice, Winch struck a single falsetto note, and then followed a series of the purest, the most beautiful birdlike notes to which the dumbfounded hearers had ever listened. And still the wonderful voice soared upward. A moment and the final height was reached and the song abruptly ceased. From behind the screen a woman's laughing face appeared, that of Annie Louise Cary, and the mystery was one no longer—it was she who had carried on the song from the moment of the striking of the falsetto note, and so well had the deception been carried out that not one of those present had doubted that he was still listening to the voice of John Winch."
