It was rendered in most artistic mari-
ner under the able direction Of Proi, y.
W. Spell, the accomplished leader OF the
orchestra, who had worked hard To make
the concert the finished and rarely en-.
joyable entertainment 1t was, and who
richly deserved the warm recognition
Of his efforts the audience gave.
The audience was quick to note all
the good points, and the applause was
liberal. Severra enthusiastic demands
were made for enCores, but tile rule had
been made that none should be given,
and II was strictly adhered To-. p
The gem OF the evening was Beetho'
ven's symphony No. In + major,
There had been some hesitancy about
putting II on the programme lest the
people might think 1t too severely class
ical, The rapt attention with which its
different movements were received and
the warm applause at It's conclusion
demonstrated that this fear was an un'
grounded one. LAVE l y
Theshading throughout hesymphony
was fine, and the composition was given
as finished a rendition as the most ex.
acting could demand.
Miss Flora Williams was, as usual, o
prime fayorite. She looked well
and sang the exacting recitatiye
and cayatina from "Lucia" In
splendid style. Miss Lang was warmly
received and capdvated everyone with
her sweet harp solo. Master Al
fred Spell astenfshed everyone by the
mastery and artistic. manner In
which he handled his violin. Messrs.
Arkle and Zulauf sang their duette
In . spirited manner that was well
received. & ,-e..i.
