NOTES.
Fhe OShanty Club orchestra gave a
concert at Columbia Hall this evening.
which was attended by the Governor
many members of the Legislature aud
private citizens. The hall vas we'll
filed, and the receipts reached about
$50. The concert consisted of a we'll
selected program Of instrumental music,
with q vocal solo, qusrtette and trio.
The performers, all amateurs, did re-
msrkably we'll, but the select violin
solo, by Leone Sinnard, aged II ysars,
and the vocal solo, Scenes That Are
Brightest" by Miss Kate Ward, are
worthy of special commendstios. tt 3
program will be repeated some evening
next week, for the benefit of q worthy
family made destitute by An accident to
the husband and father. who lost his
hand in saw-mill here few DAYS ago.
Ga the occasion OF the concert, the
stage was lighted by an arch, on which,
in brilliant Jets OF gas. shone forth the
letters 30. 3. @. O."
Olympia 10 nov undergoing a change
from coal oil to gas, but instead of dis
tributiug the lights, the tendency seems
TO be to concentrate them. For in
stance, inste sd of having gas lamp on
every corner. or every other corner OF
tho principal street, the illumina tinp
power has all been concentrated in one
large lamp, elevated fifty or sixty feet
in the air. at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets. So far the experiment
has not proved altogether satisfactory,
bat it is thought in time it can be made
to work all right.
