Unitarian social are per laps the most
prominent of the weeks doings, The
record of the week with remarks ON
future happenings is given below:
UNITARIAN SOCIAL
TIE social given by the Unitarians
last Tuesday evening drew very fair
audience, notwithstanding the in
clement weather. The entertainment
was entitled "a Concert of All Ma
tions," aud though but II few nations
were represented, those that were thus
remembered were represented in an
admirable manner. Though the cos
tunes had but little to do with the
excellent singing, still il would have
been much more entertaining not to
have assigned to so many of the nations
the common American garb. The
costumes of the evening were worn 10y
the repres ntatives of Italy and
France, and were very pretty and at.
tractive. The entertainment opened
with an overture by the orchestra
III ich was as well rendered as it was
yyretty. following this was the renGi
tion o the Qunrteite al rust Her Not"
by the Congregational choi,, which
elected much applause. Russia VIII ch
Was the first nation on the p. ogramme
was represented by Mr.. w. II. Galvani.
The gentleman had selected for rendi.
ton u very pretty ballad entitled "The
Coesack's Longing for Home," which
was rendered in an admirable manner
Scotland Was next represented by Mr..
II IL Ia, g.. ,lt,,v- IL W..
Banks and Bras o. Bonn Q DUou :"
Mrs. F. A. Mason next appeared as u
representative of Italy. The lady's
costume was the first of the evening
and was much admired. The lady's
selection WAS entitled "Una Voce Poca
Fa" taken from Rossini's grand opera
"Barbiere de Seville" The full,
clearMnd musical notes of the singer
took the audience as if by storm, and
in response 10 the hearty encore she
.snpg with exquisite sweetness and
= at effect the popular ballad "Among
s26Lillies." The Concordia Singing
Society represented Germany with
quartette which elected such applause
that u second song was necessary to
satisfy the deligh ted hearers. Mrs.
Harl J. Cook next appeared in defence
Of Fra nee, and she sang ola Maiseil
laise" with such sweetness and effect
that she was recalled to repeat the
last verse. 1t is no wonder that the
French fight so we'll while under the
influence OF such inspiring strains
that nre said to have sprung forth
from the inspired voice of poor
French peasant that wore wooden
shoes. Mrs. Cook sang the piece with
thrilling effect aud il is wonder il
some of her hearers didn't feel like
striking some one pretty hard. Amer
, ica was the last. hut not the least, and
our nation, the grandest of IT, grand,
was well represented by Mrs. Netta
Sheldon Phelps. The lady render d
as her selection, the old, and by no
means popular song, "Wholl buy my
blackberries." The lady's singing was
livery sweet and clear, and had she
rendered more popular song.
America would have been much more
appreciated. The lady was called be-
fore the audience with rounds of ap-
plause, which demonstrated the great
appreciation that the hearers had
for her singing. The concert ended
with the chorus, "Star Spangled Ban
ner." Switzerland and England were
on the programme Sut were not rem
dered, the representatives OF those ma
tions being unable to attend. After
the concert the hall was cleared and
all present enjoyed the pleasure of
dancing until midnight when the first
Unitarian Concert came to an end.
Taken as n whole the social was
success and ought to be great en-
onnr,uor,a,,k m tta oao;atx, 60
social in the near future.
THE MILITARY BALL.
Perhaps the largest hop that has
n.been given this season was that given
by Company G. last Thursday evening
I'm their armory in Moore's hail. The
members before hand had sent invita-
tiOns to their many friends, and at o
o'clock when the grand march was
formed fully 100 couple graced the
hall. The boys had spared no pains
in trying to make the hop success,
and their efforts told; for a more de-
lighted gathering has never been seen
in Spokane. The halls were hand
somely decorated and the music was
excellent and the dancers enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent The
company netted neat sum from the
hop which will be used in iudcious
mann by the members for the ad-
vancement of the company. The
boys will give another party on the
14th of next month, and as the COM
pany is an organization that the city
has reason to feel proud Of, the ball
will undoubtedly be crowded again.
Y To give list OF those present would
5scoyyume moro space than can be
spared, and that such number was
present Ia sQmathing TINT the mem.
