The Episcopal Concert
Last Friday evening was as com
plete and grand n success as we have
ever had i'll Orungeburg. The pro.
gramme rs published in our last issue
was c,rried out with perfect salts
faction to the large audience, whic h
as we predict ed, the known repu,a.
ton Of The performers attracted. The
best evidence Of the high apprecia-
ton was the frequency o. the encorcs
which greeted the performers, and
especially Mrs. Knowlton and DR..
laber, who were several times
brought hack to the fcotliyhts, and
'e'ireo amidst n shower OF bouquets
Miss Ollie Wunnamakcr who was
called in at late hour to take th-
Eiace Of one who was deferred from
coming through provilcntal inter
terence, in spite of her youth, per-
form her part in manner which
would have reflected credit upon on.
Of ripper years.
The performances on the piano by
Mrs. Kohn and Miss jacobson were
OF the first order and elected Ii Hearty
applause.
The quartetle sung by Mr.. Kohu,
MIR. Fowles, MIR. LaRoche and Mr..
L. l.. Wannamakcr was des eryedly
encored.
O"r Southern Home by Gussie and
Fannie knowlton was well done, ex
h'biting the best of training.
Mr.. jacobson as violnist anil Cant.
Glover as accompanist con tribuled
much to the efcc, Of the pieces.
a recess of halt al hour was given
dar!::g which refreshments were
served up by the Committee consist
ing of Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Legare,
Miss Mackey and Mrs. Melicham,.
Alter the recess, besides the music
recitation was given by Prof.
Lawrence which kept the audience
i'll roar of laughter.
The delightful entertainment
wound up with selections from the
popular burlesque of HNlS Pimufore
which was full OF fun from the begin
ming to the end. We have heard the
remark that MFR. Henry kohn-per.
sonated the Captain with better effect
than any Que who has essayel the
character III Charleston and else
where.
A little lucid cnt at this point is
worthy OF mention. Just MS the
ladies were taking their positions
Mrs. knowlton's dress took fire from
the footlights. ms: cad of becoming
excited, as is SO common, she looked
upon the whole with perfect indiff.r-
encc and composurc until it was ex-
tlnguished, thus preventing what
might have been serious accident.
We are informed that the proceeds
OF the entertain nent are regarded AS
handsome for the hard times, and we
congratulate our Episcopal friends
upon their success not only pecuni.
arlly, but iii furnishing the com
munity with u rare and admirable
musical treat.
Without detracting, in the least,
from the credit due to all who par
ucipated in this m. st excellent and
long to be remembered concert, we
must be allowed TO accord the full
mead Of praise to Mr.. and Mrs.
knowllon for their zeal and crafty
ing success in the good cause.
