Knights Of Pythiss Musicale.

During long residence in this city. it
has been our good fortune to attend many
musical entertainments and we can truly
say that the one given by the Knights of
Pythias last evening, fairly surpasses
anything of the kind thatJxas ever before
attempted in this place. We think all
those who were present will agree with
us and not consider that we are trying
by this emphatic endorsement to cast re-
Elections upon the excellent musicales
that have preceded this one. Compare
sons of this sort would be unfair, for uu-
til now we have never had with US lady
whose voice can approach that of Mrs.
Kirkland even the famous cOntralto
lately introduced to Dodge City audi
ence by Gilmore must take a second
place.
Possibly those who were unfortunate
in not being able to attend. will say that
we are either prejudiced in favor of our
lady visitor or else they may doubt our
musical taste; if so, we will simply refer
them to any of the two hundred and ffty
people who were present.
What can be more satisfying to lovers
of music than her rendition of Sunset:
Between this piece and Memberships
Harvest Field" sung by Mrs. Kirkland
and Mrs. DeBois. many would find it
difficult to make choice. These two
ladies. also Mrs. Arment. Mr.. LAUDER.
Mr.. Clampett and Mr.. Garland as usual
were obliged to respond to encores before
the delighted audience would settle into
q state of quietude. We have heard cele-
brated artists sing '.Annie Laurie" and
can safely say that Mrs. Arment's inter-
probation was in every way an artistic
success. 1t was naturally aud beautifully
sung and evidently greatly impressed the
audience. One Of the most pleasing
numbers on the programme was the
charming manner in which Mrs. DeBOis
sang 1.-The Watermill,' as an encore to
her fine rendering of 1.-THE Day is Done"
1t will be seen by perusal of the pro-
gramme given below that this entertain
ment was unique in the fact that instru-
mental solos were carefully omitted.
Now while we think this good idea
for as a rule. most musicales have too
many instrumental and too few vocal
solos,-yet in this instance, we wish we
might have heard Mrs. Kirkland as she
is most brilliant accompanist.
We should advise the Knights Uf Py-
thias to give their next entertainment in
a larger room for it must have been very
uncomfortable for those who were obliged
to stand in the ante-roOm, being unable
to obtain seats in the crowded hall. Had
there been more room, many of our citi-
zens would not have gone away, thus
losing one of the most enjoyable events
of the evening.
The concise and graceful little speech of
Chancellor Commander LAUDER, thank
ing the friends of the Order for their at
tendance. was equally in keeping with
the excellent programme. NIGH.
