The concert was one Of the best that has
been given il this place, but the atten-
dance was light and is easily accounted
for By the fact that many were tired out
by the proceedings aud the heat of the
day, and there are others who would have
attended had the time been different, The
De Beriot Club, opened the programme
with selections from Oberon, by Carl Won
Weber. which were mos, exquisi-
tely rendered Later this club
gave selection from Don Juan,
which were particularly fine. The
playing OF this club is deserving of the
utmost praise that can be bestowed. and
Herr Jacob Strass. the FIRST violin. was
truly splendid in his execution. The
Davenport Turner Gesapgs Section. and
the Davenport Maennerchor were both
very good in what they gave, Mrs. Alice
