The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1889-02-03


OLYMPIA, Feb. 2.
The past week has certainly been
one Of the duliest socially that has
passed for months There were no
parties, dances. private gatherings or
ladies' lunches; nothing La fact TO
make the week an enjoyable one So
eiaily. This is probably owing TO the
fact thai at present manyof the young
ladies are out of town and to the
further fact that the gentlemen are
kept very busy at present looking af-
ter their real estate interests which
have suddenly become so important
in this city.
EPISCOPAL coSCEgT.
The only event during the past week
was the Episcopal concert, which was
given in Columbia hall last Tuesday
evening. Being, as it was, under the
able management of Mrs. John r.
Convey, it could not be otherwise than
great success. That lady had la
bored hard and diligently, and she was
rewarded by seeing the opera house
filed with an appreclative audience
The first number on the programme
was piano solo by Prof. w. III. Rob
erts. who. as usual, delighted the au-
dience with his fine rendition OF a
classical selection. The quartette club,
consisting of Messrs. II. g. 0'Brien, a.
b. cowles. l.. p. Oueliette and T. C.
West, then sang The Wolf is on the
Hill" 10 q manner which was greatly
appreciated by the audience. Mr.. Sew
erson. the popular Henri in Chimes
OF Normandy" was then booked
10 appear, but the audience was
extremely disappointed when il was
announced that he was indisposed and
unable TO appear. Henry Harris, in
his piano solo was heartily encored
and rendered his selection in an ex-
quisite manner. Then came song BY
Mrs. Allen, OF Tacoma, who complete
ly took the house by storm and was
rendered perfect ovation. She was
repeatedly encored. and promptly re-
sponded TO the demands OF her admir-
ing auditors. Gen. 0'Brien was en-
Enthusiastically applanded in Mar
gnerite. and was compelled to respond
TO an encore. The duet by Mrs. Allen
and Mr. o'Brien was heartily appreci-
ate9- as was attested by rapturous APP
piause. Mrs. >. NJ. Percival and her
weil-tratned chorus appeared three
times, and were each time brought
back by rapturous applause. Mrs.
Perciyal is always sure OF capturing
Olympia audiences, as when her name
appears in connection with a concert
or opera il is sure indication that It
viii be a success. The chorus, which
appears with her, having been for
some months under her training. is
composed OF Miss Louise Aver. Rena
Cavanaugh, Mary Barkett. Annie
LAansdale. AIDA Burntrager, Lizzie
Burntrager, Floy Frost and Julia
Hartsoek The concert was given Tor
the benefit OF the church construction
fund, and the originator may re heart
lily congratulated that the affair was
50 great financial success.
