Il will be remarked that all of this music
is Of the highest character, and no less
taste was displayed IN selecting them,
than skill in rendering them.
HOW THEY WERE EXECUTED.
Mrs. Nellie Sweeney Palmer, the vocalist
Of the evening, seemed in unusually good
voice, and her reception by the large audi
snce was of the most Hattering character.
Both of her solos were exquisite pieces OF
yocalization, and an encore was the well
meritsd reward Of each. OF the two, the
sweet melody of "rhop'rt Like Unto q
F,Ower," was the more popular, and the
sppause il received was deafenlng. She
wss presented with several beautiful floral
offerings
TIE cello and flute duo by Messrs. Ruhe
srd Reymsnn was a beautiful piece OF 10.
strumtntal work, and pleased the audi
once beyond expression. The blending OF
the instruments was delightful. Mr.
Grimm showed himse!f a master of the
clarinet, snd his number was one OF tn
most beautiful and artistic of the evening.
The other numbers were orchestra
pieces, and where all were so fine it is dltt
cult to inGiVidualize. The concluding
number, = fine waltz, sent the audience
bone with its rhymthical strains softly
and pleasantly echoing in their memories
ali in all, il was one of the most delight
full musical evenings ever spent by q
Wheeling audience, and if the thing were
possible the orchestra stands higher thar
ever in the estimation of the public.
