No feature of the musical programme
of the Press clubs entertainment, Mon
day evening, at the Grand Opera house,
proved more acceptable than the num-
bers contributed by the Mandolin club;
and the concert to be given by this
somewhat unique organization, at Har-
monia hall tomorrow evening, will
doubtless attract the music lovers in
large numbers.
The announcement that the Gounod
club was to give its concluding concert,
Prof. Porter, j. c. Bartlett and Misses
Susie Mckay and Julia May, was all
that was needed to draw out large
and fashionable gathering at the
First Baptist church last evening.
1t was an exceedingly pleasant
event and everything passed off
in a satisfactory manner. Mr.. c. II.
Morse. of the Northwestern COnserva-
tory of Music, acted as director in a very
able way. He was assisted by Miss
blanche Strong, organist, and Mrs. II.
W. Gleason. pianist. The nature of the
concert was entirely new to any
eye; eyer before given n in m MLinneap-
ducing of the Grand Mass to the
Memory of Joan of Arc" by Charles
GOunod, the eminent composer. 1t was
rendered by chorus of fifty voices, ac-
cOmpanied by instrumental music and
a harp. The solo 80 World, Thou Art
Wondrous Fair" by Mrs. GrOsskopf,
fairly captivated- the appreciative gath
ering, as well as did the tenor solo,
"Sleep Well, Sweet Angel" by Mr..
Bartlett, who was encored and recalled.
The chorus of Nymph's "Psyche' by
Mrs. GrosskOpf and Miss Mckay
was splendid. and the parts were
brought out with great effect. "Frithiof
at His Fathers Grave" was the title eff
a bass solo, which was rendered in an
admirable manner by Prof. Porter, and
brought forth repeated demonstrations
of approval. The entertainment con-
cluded with singing by the seXtet
soloists, Misses Mckay. May, Messrs.
Bartlett, Morrison, Porter, Clerihew
and chorus.
The musical and literary entertain
ment given by the young ladies of the
GethSemane church was not the success
anticipated in point of attendance, but
those present were given grand treat.
The readings by Miss Sarah Rounds,
an elocutionist from the Detroit. Mich,
training school, were superb and
brought forth encouraging encOreS from
the appreciatiye gathering. Miss Emma
Robb, a prominent piano soloist, rem
dered number Of selections in very
creditable manner. DR.. Strachauer,
cello, and Mrs. G. E. Dickinson, vocal
ist, took leading part in the entertain
ment. The Sleep-walking scene
from Macbeth" by Miss Rounds was
the leading feature.
Dyer'S Music hall was comfortably
filled last evening with an aristocratie
gathering to listen to the concert given
by the pupils of F. w. Merriam.
The display of gorgeous toilets worn
by the ladies illuminated the cosy
title hall to good advantage
and made brilliant appearance.
The ladies who assisted in the enter
tainment were: Miss Lois Morrison,
Miss Matte Blanchard, Miss Jennie Co
hen, Miss Bertha Shaw, Miss Sarah
Deutch, Miss Alice March, Miss Jennie
Martin, Miss Jennie Redfeld, Miss Eva
Lane. Miss Blanche Croffut, Miss Min
ME McDougall, Miss Mae Manton and
Miss Bertha Radburn.
