A Crowded House and . Fine
Musical Entertainment.
The concert of the Union Guard tool
place last evening ct Miners Union Hall
Ruby Hill, beginning q few minutes after
8 O'Clock and coming to . close At . quarter
past 10. Our special reporter III the COCA
sion says that 1t vas the finest musical
treat ever enjoyed in this section Of coun
try. There were upwards Of 200 persons
present, . good many Of whom went ur
from Eureka. The exercises we're opened
by the Union Guard Band with . selection,
"Melits," which completely enthused the
audience and brought down the house in
prolonged applause. The players never
before seemed to be so rich in music as
they were last night. They excelled them
selves, and their efforts we're fully appre-
ciated by the large audience, which
listened with wrapt attention to the de-
iightiul harmony with which they filled
the air.
After the opening piece by the band,
Miss housseau's class in music SAM in
chorus 1.-THE Moon is Beaming Ger the
Lake" with very pleasing effect and were
heartily spplauded.
Next followed an instrumental duet by
Mrs. r. N. Beatty and her son, little
Bobbie Beatty, the former at the piano and
the latter doing the tambourine. The
piece WAS nicely done by both. The young
~tambourinist played like . veteran and
completely captured the crowd, which sp-
plauded again and again.
The Rose OF Killarney" by Miss Nellie
Triple, was rendered with touching pathos.
The young lady has q sweet voice and
manages it with admirable effect. Her
singing WAS we'll received, and she was
loudly applauded for her pleasing effort.
A Among the Roses" by Miss Mary
Powell, deserves special mention. She
acquitted herself admirably in voice and
manner. The audience evinced their graf
ification in the warmest manner.
Mrs. r. M. Beatty's Scotch song with
banjo accompaniment was one Of the very
pretty features Of the evening.
Next came the band with princess Be-
strice Waltzes." The audience were held
s%pell-bound by their magnificent rendition
from the first to the last note. When
swaking from the charm it seemed they
would take off tie roof by their shouts OF
applause and the din they made with
~clapping Of hands and stamping Of feet.
Our reporter may be partial, but if 20 We
plead his apology. He says that the gem
OF the evening was "What Would Papa
Say?" by Miss Minda Triple. She was
vociferously applauded. and for encore
sang Twinkle. Twinkle Little Star" in
the most captivating voice and manner.
Miss Florence Cromer did splendidly
and received hearty applause for her song
entitled "No. Sir"
"Coming Thro' the Rye" was very cred
itably sung and danced by Miss Nellie
Osgood, who appeared as much at ease IS
a professional.
"Pansy Blossoms" by Mrs. Cottle, was
the last song Of the evening. The lady
was complimented very highly for the
artistic ann in which the song was
rendered, and the audience at large showed
their appreciation in ringing applause.
The finale Of the concert was the VAL
entine Gallop by the band. The music
was of the most eloquent and inspiring
sort. 1t started a whirlwind in the au-
dience, so eager did it make them to get
on the floor and move to the measure
played and to go dreaming through the
voluptuous waltz. And thus ended one
Of the happiest and most completely sue
'cessful musicals ever given in this county.
The Union Guard have every reason to
be proud of the occasion.
With the shortest intermission pos
sible the ball began with music by
R~iegelhuth's full string band. The fes-
~tivities were kept up until an early hour
this morning, when dancing ceased, and
the last ~merrymaker turned away from
Miners Union Hall tired and yet half
sad that the delightful affair had come to
a close. About midnight an elegant sup
per was provided by Mrs. Shea, to which
the vigorous and hungry crowd did full
Justice.
