more than any other community. ardent
lovers of music. It rained heavily all last

men faced the heavy storm and brayed
the portage of the highways to attend
Fred Kirn's concert at the Congre-
gational Church The result was an
auditorium filed to quite its capacity by
brilliant audience, an audience which, un-
der the circumstances, was great surprise
in It's size and character. 1t was a hattering
testimonial to the beneficiary and speaking
witness to the growing taste for musical en-
piano solo, " Kermesse," from Faust,
by the director of the concert, Santiago Ar
rilisga, pianist of superior merit, and
whose playing elected the warmest applause,
leading to his recall. Charles Switzerland. a
baritone, gave with rather pleasing effect

who gave a composition Of his OWE. yaria-

Soprano solo, cavatiaa from Lucia" by
Miss Jovita A. Ferrer, lady with pure
soprano voice, which she manages well. She
sang with great clearness and sweetness, and
won the most cordial applause. Piano solo.
Impromptu," by Chopin, Miss Eugenia
Ferrer, who played with taste, precision and
vigor, and won deserved recall. k. IL
Auerbach gave Honor and Arms as bass
solo. he surprised those best acquainted
with his vocal efforts by the superior manner
in which he gave this difficult selection. IL

performance, and suggests fisttering possibili-

as were the Others. Mr. kim and Mr..
FerTer then gave guitar duet with excellent
effect, and were recalled by exceedingly loud
and general applause. Miss Jovita Ferrer
then sang, 'Oa Luce di quest Anima,"
from Linda, and answered to recall with

a guitar solo, and was twice recalled, playing
each time and being each time warmly APP
plauded. a duet, II Pescatori,n by Miss
Jovisa Ferrer and Mr.. Switzerland concluded
what proved to be very enjoyable musical
entertainment. The numerous encores and
the responses so heightened the programme
that the titles of the selections given on re-

manner in which Miss Ferrer sang Little

effort worthy of note.
