INTRODUCTORY RECITAL

OF the Musical Department. of Yank
ton Caitege Mt the Congregations
Church LaSt Night.
The introductory recital given at the
Congregational church last evening BY
the musical departments of Yankton
college, assisted by the Yankton Phil
harmonic society drew q fair sized
audience and the attention given during
the rendition of the programme was evi.
dence of the intense interest taken by
the audience. Prof. Young, under
whose competent charge the musical de.
partment of Yankton college
aow exists, conducted the exercises
and drawing . conclusion from the ex.
presslons of the audience and from Prof,
1ourg's work thus far in the city, 1T may
be said that in his presence Yankton
college has the right man in the right
place. Prof. Young opened the enter.
tainment with an essay on music, with
illustrations of the same on the piano,
and an analysis of the programme. The
Yankton Philharmonic, composed
of some fifty members, were down on
the programme for two full chorus sell
e%ctions, the first of which "Star of
Descending Night" followed Mr..
Young's opening remarks. The Yank-
ton Philharmonlcs is a society with o
musical intent buried deep down in a
whole world full of determination, and
from the society some first class music
will be heard in the future. The indi-
vidual vocal and instrumental! s~oloists
are Yankton college musical students,
and of each u much might be said.
Professor Young gave a vocal selection
from the Italian opera Earni, which
was duly appreciated by q number in
the audience who are familiar with the
opera itself. Altogether fhe evening
was pleasantly spent by every one con.
cerned and similar entertainments IN the
future will be as thoroughly appreciated.
