Concert of the German Quartette Clab,
The German Quartette Club, an associa
ton of gentlemen devoted to the cultiva
ton of music and the development of q
high musical taste, kindly volunteered
their services that eliminated in a grand
concert last night at Odd Fellows Hall, fol
the benefit of the sufferers by the overflow
With characteristic punctuality, the pro
gramme laid down was executed from the
beginning to the end without a single
change, and no postponement took place
notwithstanding the disagreeable weather
which, setting in yesterday morning, con
tinued throughout the day in wind and
pouring rain. Owing to this prevailing in
clemency, hundreds who had bought tickets
| failed to come, yet fair audience well
| coined the performers, and extended to the
volunteers their kind congratulations. The
following programme was rendered:

The Drinking Song" and " Hunters
Farewell" were executed by the sixteen
members of the club, four of each tone
with great emphasis. The duo from " Les
Dragons de Villars " was sung so as to add
to the honors. Mr.. Meteye has already OBJ
tanned and maintained the reputation OF
Mile. Zeiss for faultless execution. In the
addgio, Mr.. Groenevelt showed the accuracy
of his former training and his faultless mu-
steal ear, while Messrs. Greuling and Pressed
were equal to their former efforts The aria
from :. La Favorite" was so well accepted
that the fair singer received the loudest of
encores. Mr.. Van Hufflen was also eagerly
called back. The singing and information of
John Anderson, my 10" and Love and
Wine" by the entire club. was the next pal
pable hit, and the scene from the "Hugue-
nots =" was drawn in music SO as to bring
the whole of the grand opera prominent be-
fore the assemblage.
Those who were present were in the best
of humOr at the nicely of the music and
the Quartette Club can place the last
evening among their triumphs. The society
has now been in existence for three wears.
and is presided over by Mr.. j. NJ. Wagner,
a gentleman of musical refinement cashier
of the Teutonia Bank. The repertoire of
the members, which they are constantly i'm
proving, embraces the highest musical chefs
d'eurres, and aided by Mr.. Groenevelt, it is
not wonderful that the previous evening
was success. The Accomplishments on a
grand piano furnished by Grunewald, by
NJ. Schneider, were noted for their delicate
touch and precision. The sale of tickets
realized no paltry sum for the benefit of
the overfOwed quarter, about seven hun
bred being disposed Of 1t is hoped the
club will give another entertainment, as
sisted by the same clever singers as on this
evening
