young gentleman for whom it was given,
as it was for those who attended-by
which We mean that no one ever got q
bigger IS cents worth of enjoyment than
those who went and while the amount
realized was over 500 for the object in
view, our citizens generally had an oe-
casion to spend most delightful even
ing. The large hall was filled so that
not only were the chairs and benches all
occupied, but many had to stand up,
showing that our home talent is appre-
ciated and that it is only necessary to
advertise our musical selebrities to draw
a full house. The concert was an i'm
menses success. 1t began with Beeth-
ovens overture of 'sEgmont' piano
Bieling, and was said by those who
understand and can appreciate the grand
compositions of those old masters to
have been perfectly rendered, as was
expected. Following this was trio
from Belisario by Miss Lima Bach, Miss
Sibree and Mr.. Heinaman, which was
loudly applauded. A violin solo, with
piano accompaniment, by Master Mic
Kettenhoffen, little fellow II years of
age, came next, and the perfect manner
in which the piece was performed won
the praise Of the entire audience. Mas
ter Me has talent and Will some day
make his mark as a violinist of renown.
Miss Lena Simon sang a German song
1.-The Three Students fully sus-
tanned her reputation as one of the best
singers in the city. The selection was
very pretty and quite difficult. A piano
solo from Wallenhaupt, by Mr.. Otto,
was well rendered, He plays with a
delicacy of touch and degree of erpres-
sion which wins the admiration of mu-
steal people at once, and succeeding in
pleasing the entire audience. Mr.. c.
thinner sang bass solo IN German
'The Lords Day'-in a very creditable
manner and was roundly applauded.
Part second opened with grand septet
ta-one of Hayden's symphonies-per-
formed by Messrs. Bieling, Richter,
Neidert, Eberle, Stockinger, Wollmer
and Hornhauer. The combination of
the various instruments used made a
beautiful whole and was one of the most
highly appreciated portions of the con-
cert. Following this came the song
''Ruth and Naomi" sung by Mrs. e..
L. Ryder. The selection was well cal
culated to bring out the sweetness and
clearness of her voice, and the roar of
applause which greeted her at the con-
clusion and would not be quoted until
she came forward again, was evidence
that her splendid rendition of that beau
tiful song was appreciated. On appear
ing tie second time she sang piece en-
titled "Croquet," which was also well
received. Mr.. Horphaur then played
''Sounds from Home" on the violin.
Words fail to describe the melody and
sweetness drawn out CT the violin by his
i-at-oISt tlitt
shouts of applause went up and contin-
ued to burst forth until he again made
his appearance and played ''The Mock
ing Bird" He was called out the third
time, and we verify believe the audience
would have listened to him for two hours
notwithstanding a symptom of WEAKNESS.
tsHe made bis violin talk" was frequent
remark. A duet from Norma by Mrs.
Geo. Burnet and Miss Sibree was next
in order. OF course they sang we'll
they always do-and were called out a
second tiIae. IEae Two ladies furnish a
large share Of the musical talent OF the
city and are always appreciated. A pia-
no duet by Miss Lima Bach and Mr..
Otto followed. Miss Bach fully sus-
tanned her reputation as thorough
musician and was ably seconded by Mr..
Otto. The two together drew some sub
lime music out of the rather Indifferent
instrument, and were loudly applauded.
The concert proper was ended with a
song by Mr.. Fred Heineman, with COR
net obligato by Mr.. Ntocklnger, entitl-
ed ''Paul Revere's Ride 1t was fully
up to the high standard of the whole en-
tertainmenf aud very we'll received. A
tableaux representing '"The Maid from
Foreign Lands" arranged by Mr.. Ess-
linger, with Miss Bertha Wimpf as the
central figure, was very handsome and
elected loud applause. The effect of
the tableaux was heightened by fine
display of Bengal lights. When the
curtain went down on this representa-
ton the hall was cleared and dancing
reigned until about 2 o'clock in the
morning, large proportion of the audi
ence remaining and taking part. The
concert was pronounced by all to have
been a grand success, and 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that those who so kindly
took part in it will not ''hide their light
under btshel," bHt that ere long the
public may have another occasion to
listen to them. Our word for it, a
crowded house will turn out to hear
them and do them honor.
WITH the approach of Christmas one
naturally begins to guage his pocketbook
and indulge in mental speculations as to
how he can buy something nice" for
the benefit of his wife, children, or other
dear ones. With plenty of means it is
no difficult matter to make selections
that are suitable, but the great question
with the average man or woman is to
buy something acceptable and within
