The Wilmingtonian. (Wilmington, Del.) 1882-188?, 1884-05-17
THE sENGERBUgF CONCERT.

The Delaware Senl trbund gave its
twenty sixth concert and itSll in the German
Hall, Sixth street above NYhlnut on Monday
evening. 1t was near nine clock when the
company streamed into til Concert room,
which was gaily decorated sor the occasion,
the American and Germa ags being pro-
fusely displayed around tlis central chande-
lier. Ninety per cent of The guests were
Germans, or of German extraction, and the
animated conversation c;iried on in the
lobbes, approaches and a!eoves being con-
Quoted entirely in the Teutonic tongue,
] caused an agreeable Illusion that the visitor
had been spirited away to She Fatherland
and was for the nonce an A ,ddin without a
genie or lamp. The opor ART. faces of
the men, and the pl,'s;..-51- : Wei Cheeks of
the girls confirmed the impression, and at
no time during our stay could we rid our
selves of the impression that Sixth and Wal
nut streets had been shifted from the East
e IN Seaboard of the United States to the
| hores of the Baltic and the German Ocean.
The young ladies had evidently come to
sdance and although they kept quiet during
the rendi6ion of the musical programme, it
was quite plain from the impatient move
meut of their feet that the first waltz strains
from the band would be the signal for the
| young men to come and whi1l them away.
| Professor G. B. Rhoads came forward
amid applause, about nine o'clock and
assuming the baton set his ''merrie men, to
work. The programme sas follows:-

Mr.. Freye has a good baritone voice and
in his solo, ''the Kings Yester" acquitted
himself very commercially. The chorus
'Des Maedchen's Klage' for tenors and
basses, was familiar to those who had heard
the Scotch air "Oh where and oh where is
my Highland laddie gone although the
German taste for bold harmony had disar-
ranged the accepted chords in the orthodox
version. Fred We'll, Jr. sang "The Tenn
pest" well; his voice reaching far down to
the lower ledger lines in the bass. The fine
duet from Belsario was the gem of the per-
formance, Messrs. Miller ana Freye taking
the tenor and bass parts respectively. The
instrumental music was ably furnished by
: Wallschmidt's Orchestra, and Professor
!, | Rhoads couducted throu Jhout with his
| customary and well-known ability.
At the close of the musical programme
dancing was begun, and kept up with spirit
till an early hour on the following morning.
The Committee of Arrangements were Chas
Yetter G. Stritzelberger and G. B. Metz.
