Goodwin Commandery Concert.

The concert of Goodwill commandery, ut
the Congregational church, last night, drew
an audience which completely filled that
edifce, and was an occasion of more than
ordinary interest from the large amount of
talent that participated in the programme
The event of the evening was the appearance
of Mr. William Pruitt, who was announced as
from Philadelphia, but who was born in
this city, where he resided until
about four years ago, when he went to
Philadelphia to study under the we'll
known instructor, Ettore Burch. His
singing last night showed that he had been
a careful student and the fine barytone that
he was endowed with by nature has devel-
oped into one of peculiar purity and reso-
nance. with u sweetness in its upper register
that is rarely met with In his rendition of
the toreador song from Carmen" the vigor
and virile quality of his voice were we'll dis
played, while in his exquisite phrasing he
showed that he possessed the true artistic in
stinct. In his encore "How Fair
Thou Art" beautiful song by
Void, the breadth and power of
his voice and the superiority of his method
were fully manifest. Miss Minnie EVAN and
Mrs. Nellie McCartee both sang with their ao-
customed grace, the former giving a recita-
tion and aria from the first act of ''Traviata"
we'll calculated to display her brlliancy of
execution, and the latter singing Campana's S
charming " La Zingarella," an airy and pleas
ing melody, which she rendered most effect
lively. Both ladies were encored, Miss Evan
responding with Arditi's Daisy" and Mrs.
McCartel with tho Scotch ballad MARY OF
Argyle" Mr.. L. J. Whipple's fine barytone
was heard 'to excellent effect in Pensuti's
"Bedouin Love Song" and Messrs. L. B. Hay,
R. @. Bernays, William Jeager, the Mozart
orchestra, and Prof. Bischof assisted in the
programme.

Of the vessel great difficulty in being expert
enced in obtaining a complement of officers
and men willing to serve ON her, Commodore
Walker, chief Of the bureau of navigation,
said yesterday that the statement
that tho Shenandoah was topheayy
was ridiculous. The vessel has been repaired
so extensively, he said, that it is virtually
new vessel, and in every respect
sta9nch and seaworthy. The report
probably originated from the fact
that Lieutenant Commander Talcott who
was ordered to duty on the Shenandoah, had
resigned to go into business, and that Lieu
tenants Thomas, Flynn, Whitfield, and Ha-
german, also ordered to duty on the vessel,
were condemned" by a medical board Of
survey because Of sickness. Com. Walker
said there has been no intimation from any
source except the newspapers that there was
objection OH the part Of men and officers to
serve on tho Shenandoah. Other officers are
being selected to compose the complement of
the vessel He also said that the accommo-
dations for the Lrew are ample and sufficient.
Secretary Chandler said that the Shenandoah
was well fitted for the voyage and that he
had heard of no Dissatisfaction among the
officers or crew.
