a CONCERT.
"A Crowded House and - Delightful
Entertainment.


AS to some extent. anticipated, the Eu-
reka Opera House was filed last night
above and below TO listen to the music OF
the Episcopal concert. The audience was
very large, and listened with delight and
enthusiasm to the finely-rendered pro-
CRANE, from the overture by the Misses
Clute and Pardy to the final solo by Max
Schefer. The overture by Suppe- was
skillfully executed, and put the audience
in excellent humor for a pretty waltz
song, "Sweet Autumn Dreams" by Miss
Ella Dreamer, Mrs. Douthett accompany
ing her on the piano. The rendition of
the song was pleasing and was greeted with
applause. Next came a vocal duet, "Do
You Remember ?' by Mrs. Douthett and
Miss Edgecomb, Mrs. Foley playing ac-
compartment. The fine soprano of the
first lady blended sweetly with the soft alto
music of the latter. Miss L. Scholl de-
lighted the audience with Thalberg's
"Home, Sweet Home" an admirably
executed piano solo. "Land Of the Swal-
lows" a duet by Mrs. L. w. Davis and
Il. K. Morrison, the former alto and the
after tenor, was ~applauded very heartily.
These favorities were uproariously ap-
plauded as always. To an encore they re-
appeared and sang q part Of the same
song. Mrs. Foley sang beautifully the
little Scotch ballad Summer Showers"
She was encored and repeated the last
verse of the same. Then followed what
was universally conceded to be the gem of
the evening, the Dungeon Scene, Miserere,
from II Troyatore, given by Miss Marie
milford, Max Sch@fer and chorus, with q
splendid accompaniment by Mrs. M. j..
Franklin. 1t was remarked that this was
the finest singing that Eureka has been
favored with since the visit Of De Murska.
1t was greeted with deafening applause.
For encore they tried bows, but the
audience wouldn't have bows, so they gave
the latter part again most delightfully."-.
Hutchison's "Dreamland Faces" was
sweetly rendered by Mrs. Douthett, Mrs.
Foley accompanying. Miss Grace Pardy
appeared next and sang with exquisite
grace and sweetness Beware" a fascinat-
ing ballad by Perring. Miss Pardy was &C.
companied ON the piano by Miss Hettie
Clute and to an enthusiastic encore she
sang, Wouldn't Your" Then came a
piano solo by Mrs. Franklin, Tennhauser,
march, by Wagner and Liszt. The per-
Torrance was grand and displayed a very
remarkable Interpretation of the great
masters pieces as well as a skill in execu-
ton rarely seen among those who are not
musicians by profession. Recalled to the
stage by irresistible applause she charmed
her listeners with the gem Pizzicati from
the opera Of Sylvia. As Miss Marie
Milford stepped upon the stage, the
audience, holding fresh in mind the
charms of her first singing, saluted
her with an ovation Of plsudits.
She sang waiting" with impassioned
eloquence and in magnificent tone. Her
voice is grand and superb and devel-
oped with extraordinary art. For an en-
core she gave the charmed assemblage
"Some Day." and, at last, was allowed to
retire covered with praise. Mr.. Shafer,
on reappearing, was met a good deal more
than half way by the great turnout Of Eu-
rekans whom he had captured a little
while before, with deafening cheers. He
was perfectly at home, however, and in
the language of Fatherland and in the
finest, fullest tenor tones he gave from
Abt, REST Thee Well" For encore, he
sang also from Abt, ''Sleep Well, Sweet
Angel" This was a glorious termination
| of the rare musical feast, for which our
| people feel indebted to the Rev. Mr.. Craw-
ford and those who SO kindly assisted him
in making the affair an overwhelming
success. For the rest OF the programme,
including dancing, flowers, refreshments,
etc., we have nc more space at this late
