that Assistant U. S. Surgeon M. w. Woods
is transferred from the Department of the
East to the Department Of the Columbia,
and Asst Surg. c. L. Heizmann is transfer

CoNCERT.-Ths first concert of the Arion
Quartette Club of this city will take place
at the Garrison Theatre on Tuesday evening
next, for the benefit Of the st. Helens So
ciety. The club will sing under the drec-
ton of Professor l. N. Donaldson, who made
sneh favorable impression at his appearance
in this city, at the concert Of the Vancouver
Musical Society, and will be assisted by
Miss A. Steward, Miss +. Brant, Miss l..
Sauer, and Professor Huebner, the we'll
known violinist. The quartette club itself
is already known to the music-loving people
OF Vancouver as possessing more than ordi-
nary ability, their rendition of several pieces
at the late concert being such as to cali forth
words OF well-merited praise from all who
hear them. The quartette consists of Messrs.
Donaldson, Ellrich Presser and Gordon.
Their selections for the coming concert COM
prise some of Whites world renowned quar-
tettes. the Waltz Song by Vogel, Marsch-
ners Serenade, &c. The programme for the
entertainment is varied and well arranged,
consisting OF solos by the various members,
duets by Misses Brant and Steward, Miss
Brant and Mr.. Donaldson, Messrs Donald
son and Pressler, violin solo by Professor
Huebner, quartette for mixed voices and
the male voice quartettes already mentioned.
We can safely say that the musical treat
here offered to the people of this city has
never before been equaled here, especially
by the local talent, of which this club con-
sists, as Mr.. Donaldson We understand, in
tends making such permanent stay ia Van
ccuver as to warrant his being considered
one of US. This is to be the first of a series
of concerts given by this club for the bene-
fit of the several religious and charitable in
stitutoss. of Vancouver, and for this reason
alone, apart from the real merit of the per-
formanse, they should be we'll patronized at
their maiden effort
