One of the features of the concert by Sci.
bert's orchestra tonight, at Turner hall, will
be an oboe solo by Mr.. Henry Wuerz. The
oboe is one of the most ancient wind instru-
ments in use, aud with its quaint and tender
notes IL is very difficult in its execution. II
is used only in the larger concert orchestras,
and there are but few experts with it. Mr..
Wuerz has had many years Of experience in
large European concert orchestras and the
opera. He handles that difficult instrument
with skill and ability.
Notwithstanding under the rules Of the fire
department, only three members of each
company were allowed TO go TO the fire de-

Of their own. Some Of the ladies of West

escorts, aud improvised a dance for the
boys. There were twenty-eight couples al
together and they had a right nice, pleasant
time of it.
The entertainment OF the Standard club at

streets on Thursday evening last was rem
dered more than usually pleasant By the part
taken by Mr.. Louis Haas. This gentleman
is developing unusual ability and natural
talent for imitation and negro minstrelsy
For the time being, and for this entertain
ment on Thursday evening, he assumed the
garb OF minstrel and made a STUN speech,
which brstled all over with good sharp points
and bright witticisms, which kept the aud
fence in a roar of laughter from the begin
ming 10 the end. Mr.. Haas has evidently
missed his calling in sticking to the shop.
