many concerts, but OF them all the one
given BY Prof. Weber and his class in the
school hall last night, was par excellence.
The hall was completely filed BY the
elite Of the city, among whom were many
good connoisseurs Of music and singing,
who unhesitatingly pronounced the per.
Torrance as an exceedingly good ono.
The class Is composed Of 20 stu
dents, and upon making their appearance
on the stage, they sang "bost song" and
chorus with exceeding good effect.
"FAmpa Overture" by Miss L. MontgOm'
cry, and Sunbeam Waltz" by little Miss
Ida Jones, both instrumental pieces, were
well performed. Song Of 1.-TWO Forest
Nymphs," by Amelia Sehroen, gave US q
good Idea Of what nymphs were. "Lilly
Dale Schottische" was very pretty. Song
of ia Notice Bella" by Miss Emma
Westlake, was rendered in good style.
Song Of "Tell Ne Where" by Misses
Breen and Emma Shultz, was very
sweet. We capnot compliment too high.
~ the song OF "Bertie Tell Winnie" by
Miss Mary Shannaielt. We wished once
we were on 1.-THE Beautiful Blue Danube"
when "Home, Sweet Home" broke upon
our ears with charmiugly pleasing effect.
"Good night, Farewell" by DR.. Hoover,
was certainly well rendered by the DR..
He has a magnificent voice which Is pretty
fairly cultivated. Well, we never did
think that Mr.. Blackburn would make
such an excellent looking woman; he fills
the role to perfection. "What Is home
without mother.in.lsw," by G. D.
Heatherington, well, in our opinion,
its considerable. Alter this the
Contribution Song" which came
rather unexpectedly took well. This
song was called for by Gen, Hoge. The
"Sleigh Ride Chorus" by the class, was
exceedingly well sung, and made US long
Tor some more ride.
We arc sorry we can not give the clos
ing exercises, but our time 10 limited. Al
the programme was not followed in exact
order We may have given credit TO wrong
parties.
