| Miss Maud Powell was given an ovation
of which that young lady may we'll be
proud, despite the fact that she possesses

much more critical. The duet by Miss
Ford and Mr.. Mockridge, completely
took the house. 1t was Stainer's, Love
daughter of JariuS." Prof. Baldwin,
| playing OF Meyerbeer's Schiller march,
| showed his perfect control of the inStru-

| concerts st. Paul has seen for long

The entertainment given by the
| Aamold Concert company at Ford'S
music rooms last Tuesday evening was
attended by representative audience
| of the music loving people of the city.
| The hall was as full as comfort could
| have allowed, and a more thoroughly
| enjoyable and enjoyed evening has mol
| been chrOnicled before this season. Tho
i charming young prima donna, Miss
| Ellen Beach Yaw. installed herself
| faVorite from the first note she sang.
| and had a trifle too much work to do for
| the remainder of the evening in re-
spending to the inevitable encore which
| followed her singing. Miss Yaw's con-
tralto is of freshness, clear
ness and purity seldom equaled:
| Her high. notes are delivered
| without the least apparent effort, and
| falSettO, A very happy feature of her
| singing is that she nnds it unnecessary
even IN the performance of difficult
runs or extremely high notes to comfort
| her countenanee as do so many even OF
| the best singers of the country when
so engaged. Helen's smile is sweetest
| wher the note is the most difficult OF
| execution, and the effect is marvelOusly
| pleasing. The most able musical crl.

Stinted praise upon this young lady'S
singing, and st. Paul mdorSes them
| to the full. Miss Beals, the
clever reader and impersonator, is
one of the cleverest dramatic actresses
ever seen in st. Paul, and her share in
the programme earns her unStinted
praise. Prof. Aamold played as those
who went to hear him knew he could
and expected he wonld play. Respond
ing to an encore, after playing Chopln's
! "Nocturne," he was again encOred, and
would have been responding to encOreS
to this moment but that lie was COM
PEELED to deSiSt from sheer WEAKNESS.
Prof. lungs tenor was never clearer
or sWeeter than 1t was that evening,
and from the hearty way in which hi 8
efforts were received, and, in fact, those
of the entire company were re ceived, it
would seem that no doubt can exist as
to whether the people of the SANITY
city appreciate high art in music.
