The programme named above was pre-.
seated to a good audience at l. .ubrie'- Thea
ter last night, under the direction Of Mrs.
Rose P. Thompson, for the benefit of the
Second Presbyterian church manse. The
arrangement OF the scenes indicated her skill
and stage experience, and the general result
was equally clrItable TO the people who
had volunteered for the occasion. The
Octetts Club, whose concert last season is
pleasantly remembered, did excellent service.
the "tuneful eight" are truly singers and
under good training. The aria from III Puri-
tani, with Joy My Heart is Bounding"
was sung with such exquisite taste by
Mrs. Sam i. Carnes as to elicit
an enthusiastic recall. "The Dying AL
chemist" was fuely recited by Mr.. Sam 3.
Williamson, and Mr.. Kuowlton's number
was also well rendered. The young tenor
has learned the necessity of throwing out his
voice. jacobs Dream" presented to the audi
encs a vision OF beauty enhanced by Miss
Minnie Hunters singing Of the air, ANGELS

Minnie Hunter, who has been heard too sell
dom in the last year. That she
is a favorite was shown by the applause that
greeted her when she entered and the three
recalls that were accorded her. Miss Hun
ter il, without dispsragement OF any others,
the best soprano ia Memphis. Her tones
are full, round and pure, and she enuncistes
we'll. Her name on a programme is a card
for the management OF any concert. Les
Rsmeaux" was finely sung. Mr.. Ryan lacks
but one qualiiy-smoothness in phrasing.
The closing tsbleau, "The Garden OF the
Gods" wac a masterpiece of scenic effect. In
an immense leaf reposed a cherub and
behind this Cupid, the naughty but
indispensable member Of the celestial
family, aimed an arrow at some
invisible and uususpecting human heart.
Around were grouped a number of the most
beautiful bellies of the city as statues. 1t
was a very rosebud garden of girls," and
made many a masculine eye weary with The
sight of loveliness. The entertain nent was

and the gods and goddesses of mythology
served a good purpose.
