The Library Concert.
The entertainment for the benefit of the
library of the library committee, was not
AS great financial success as was hoped
for. IhelOwer portion of the opera house
was well filled, but there were many va
cant seats in the gallery. The programme
opened with An overture by the AriOn
orchestra, which was we'll played, as were
their other selections ; in fact they played
better on this occasion than any other.
The choruses of the schools we're strong,
especially the soprano parts. The tableaux
were beautiful, and reflect much credit on
Mrs. George Crane and Miss Flora PfOutZ.
Mr.. James McConkey played two very fine
selections Oh the violin aud piano, which
were well received by the audience, so
much so that he received two recalls. The
piano duet by the Misses Pearce was excel
lent, and deserved applause was the result.
The vocal solos of Miss Leila Bear, IF Lam
caster, were we'll rendered. The lady has
voice of strength and culture, her lower
Weizer and Mrs. w. L. Barr. played a
piano duet very we'll and with excellent
time. The Columbia Mannerchor won
further honors by their fine singing. The
college Slees, by a male chorus, were good
but could have been greatly improved.
The singers did not know the words of the
songs and had to frequently sing off of the
paper. Miss Ella Sauerbeer carried off the
honors Of the evening by her rendition Of
"WOundcd to Death" She not only re.
cited The piece but acted it in such O way
that tears were brought to the eyes of
many of her listeners. Her voice has not
received any training, except what it got
at our public schools, otherwise she would
have few equals in this state. A reGueSt
was sent to her, asking for repetitlOn,
but on account of the lengthy programme
it could not be complied with. On the
whole the programme was good, and neat
sum OF money was realized.
