cert Of the 0berlin Musical Union came of
OF Wednesday evening last in the Fret
Congregational Church of 0berlin. The
entire programme was this year under the
direction Of Prof. Geo. W. Steele, of the
Oberiin Musical Conservatory, and the
singers were all from oberlin, with the ex-

q feet that did not in the least detraei from
the success OF the concert. The audience
was one Of the largest ever known Oh q
similar occasion in Oberlin, and it crowded
The vast church to its utmost capacity, every
iGeh Of sitting and standing room whence
one could see and he-r being occupied.
Many Clevelanders were present, attracted
BY the grand choruses which are q eharae-
t~eristic feature Of Oberlin concerts. In this
respect 0berlin can not be surpassed, if it is
egualled, IN The entire West. Its Musical
Union, consisting Of some two hundred
picked singers, mainly students, is kept in
perfect drill, under the excellent manage
ment Of Professors Morgan and Steele, Of
the Musical Conservatory. When these two
hundred performers ''hurst forth into sing
ing" in one grand chorus, with a full organ
accompaniment and in perfect unison and
harmony, the effect is beyond expression
thrilling. The programme of the present
concert included fvo grand choral pieces,
four OF which were rendered with striking
effect, the fifth being necessarily emitted on
account Of the absence, caused by sickness,
Of Prof John P. Morgan, the well-known
orgaRist. The concluding choruses-the In
1ammatus, by Rossini. and Crowned with
the Tempest" from Efpani-were magnif-
cent. The solo singers Of the occasion were

effect; but his greatest success was in the
"Infelics," which was given with wonderful
accuracy and force. Mr.. G. W. Morgan, in
singing the "Wanderer,' displayed c bass
voice OF unusual depth and power. But
Miss White, az was fitting, bore away the

/ pieces were al successful. The only instru-
mental pieco of the occasion, a duet from

performed by Herr Won Olker and Prof
Steele, was encorea and repeated. The ac-
