The first attraction of the evening
after iine piano quarteI from
civilian Tell" was the "greeting
song" by the entire combination,
who made a fine appearance and
sang with good clear tones. Prof.
Parvin turned his back on the
audience In very dignified manner
and led the chorOus as one voice.
The plano solo from Oberon by
Miss StrattOn was we'll received,
and her delicate touch and soft ex-
preston were highly appreciated by
all lovers OF sweet music. Miss
Leona Willis gave n serenade by
Gregh, with an artistic finish which
would rival the more pretentious
work Of many an Eastern prlma
donna. She was enthusiastically y
encored aud modestly declined 10
give a second selection, but as the
audience would not take no
for an answer, Miss Willis
sang sweet after piece which cap
tivated the hearts Of all. Mr.. J. ii.
Ross was also, loudly encored for his
solo. "True Love IL Sweet" and was
compelled TO make second appear
ance. He has u superior rich voice,
over which he is a perfect master.
The aria, Bishops, Lark Song" by
Miss Hally Parrish, probably pleas
ed u larger share ofthe audience than
any other number Of the programme.
The sweet unaffected, naturalress OF
her voice and manner makes Miss
Parrish ever popular with her hear.
ers. She returned with u neat encore
which was equally pleasing 10 the
enthusiastic audience. The guitar
and mandolin trio WAS u pronou need
success. The boys were called back
and appeared with "baby" aud two
full grown banjos, ON which they
ratified of another pleasing piece.
