Speaking in detail of the numbers upon
the programme: The opening overture by
the orchestra was nicely executed and well
received. Prof Arbuckle'e .'Old Turnkey"
received a round of applause and recall
which was replied to by the short and cx
pressive recitation in which the love->ick
vaung man declares in lofty, spread-eagle
,tyle and accents wild, Agnes love thee"
Prof. Price convulsed the audience by
cling them how .Old Ruby pounded the
ano," and then, in response to an encore,
Frustrated them outright when in li''berger
,ccents he described the scenes at Michael
-nyder's party.
Miss Hattie Obrist, always a cultured and
ighlv pleasing vocalist, made one Of her
'est efforts and most complete successes in
he new and beautiful selection of Bring
lack my Love DER the Sea. 1t seemed
sck of discrimination as well as apprecia
ion on the part of the auditors that she was
rot recalled, for from an artistic standpoint,
his was perhaps the finest number Of tine
.vening. We attribute, however, the APP
parent adverse criticism more to lethargy
than TO design.
Prof Sickners medley upon the piano
was faultlessly executed and much en-
loyed.
Little Sunshine" was sung in character
by Bessie Chambers, and was very naturally
and prettily dono by the bright and clever
little Miss.
The Steinway qurrtette gave the ''vocal
march in their usual popular style and re-
ceived, as is also usual, an encore. To this
vigorous demonstration, they pleased highly
N the popular negro melody, GLORY in my
Soul"
Sweet Spirit Hear Ny Prayer" was
rendered in the pathetically
sweet voice of Mrs. Z. p. Hovey, as was also
he appropriate selection for the occasion;
If the starving child pleading for food:)
But Tribe Grains of Corn"
The violin duet by Prof. Meisner and
Chas. f. Frank WAS most artistically execu-
ed and well received, though rather deep
or the average listener.
Frank h. Lawrance shook the foundation
tone with his deep, full and remarkably
powerful voice in "Roll Mighty Ocean" He
vas fia;teringly received and was rendered
hearty recall, which he declined, further
han by an acknowledgement.
Miss Eva \. Bates in violin selections was
good. and received = liberal share of APP
,lause and favorable comment.
Little Bessie Chambers again appeared in
.haracter song. This time in humorous
election, in which she wa. rs highly pleas

While the arrangements were now be:sg
made for the next act, Prof. Arbuckle took |
occasion to make a neat little speech, in !
