The Children's Jubilee and Song Ser
vice Yesterday.
Large Attendance, But No Applause for the
Little Ones.

to hear the jubilee concert, while as many
more were scattered around the grounds en-
Toying themselves in various ways. The
people came from st. Paul, Saltwater, and
some came from the adjoining states. 1t
was reported that 800 people were present
from Wisconsin. Many OF the visitors
brought dinner along and enjoyed a pleasant
picnic on the grounds.
The exercises of the morning were opened
with prayer by Rev. F. j. Wagner, of Min
neapolis, at the close Of which the audience
united in repeating the Lords prayer. The
children, some 500 or 600, then rendered the
grand chorus. These young lads and lassies
had been gathered from st. Paul, Minneap-
oils, Saltwater and the surrounding towns,
and gave quite a crcditable rendition Of
Bringing in the Sheaves' and beautiful
Day." which, were, however, quietly received
by the audience. The children certainly de
serve great credit for their work and were
entitled to hearty applause, which they did
not get.
The soprano solo and violin obligato, by
Miss Alice Shaw and Mr.. Julius Meyer, both
OF ST. Paul, succeeded in awakening the en-
thusiasm of the audience. For the exercise
"Marguerite's Three Boquets,'' by Braga,
had been selected, and was rendered In a
style to call for the hearty applause of the
audience. Miss Shaw is a vocalist of more
than ordinary ability, and while her voice is
not finished it gives evidence of careful
training and dilegent study. Her voice is
clear, sweet soprano, and her enunciaton is
good. Responding to encore she sang s.The
Night is Fine" by Guglielmo, and was
called to appear for third time but refused.
The childrens' chorus then followed, and
they sang ''My Shepherd, and gathering
Home" in excellent style, but received no
applause for their work The piano solo of
Prof. Sencier was exceedingly difficult, and
called forth a few rounds of applause.
Miss Shaw again appeared, and W as re-
ceived with cheers. She sang sMemories of
Galilee,' the children singing the chorus
and the meeting adjourned for dinner. Mr..
Hanson presided at the orgsn during the
morning session. tid LGbI5J
AFTERNOON ENTERTAINMENT.
At 3 p. IN. the audience, which had been
increased by a number of new arrivals,
assembled in the pavilion to listen to the
afternoon entertainment. Miss Potter pre-
sided at'the organ in the afternoon and Prof.
Titcomb acted as pianest
After the opening prayer by Rev. w. S.
Matthews, of st. Paul, the children's chorus
sang the "Church Rallying Song" and Rev.
DR.. Smith, president of the board of directors
of the assembly, was introduced to deliver
the address of welcome. The gentleman
announced that he did not intend to make
speech, and placed himself upon good foot
ing with his audience by relating few anec-
dotes. He was pleased to see so many per-
sons present, especially children, and made
touching appeal to the latter to seek
Christ early. He painted the beauties of the
hereafter in glowing language, and expressed
desire to meet the children present at the
great jubilee above. Then turning to the
audience he welcomed them to the hospi-
talities of the park.
At the close of the address of welcome the
children's chorus sang Bringing in the
sheaves," and Rev. E. L. Eaton, of Madison,
Wis, was introduced to speak for ten min
utes on "Jubilee Meditations." Like the
speaker who had preceded him, he told
Lew ducCuOIcos I1C udo occu Ill d Su. dul
paper of this morning that he had delivered
his address at the assembly, and he was so
excited over the thought that he
had delivered an address and had
not been conscious of 1t at
the time, that he had left his manuscript at
home. He would give few extemporaneous
remarks, however. He dwelt upon the i'm
portance of Christian work and Christian edu-
cation, and spoke with some feeling upon the
meeting hereafter. He also closed with a
strong appeal for Christian work
Miss Shaw sang 'sMemories of Galilee,"
the children's chorus rendering the chorus,
and Rev. E. Corwin, DID,, of Racine, Wis
consin, delivered an address on "The AS
sembly Idea" He explained the aims of the
meeting, and also explained how
the idea of the meetings originated.
He dwet at some length upon the advisability
of securing good instructors for their child
rem. He claimed it was the foundation
upon which true manhood and womanhood
was built. During the course of his re-
marks he paid handsome compliment to
Emily A. Mellen, the noted juvenile teacher,
who has a cottage in the park. He closed
with an appeal for the support of the citizens
for the Mahtomedi assembly.
Miss Shaw sang selection from the
opera Mignon, ''Dost Thou Know That
Sweet Land" and Manager Sherman thanked
the people for their attendance, and asked
ed for their support in the future, after
which the childrens chorus sang, "Gather-
ing Home" and the afternoon session was
closed.
