The Tuesday Concert
given on Thursday evening at the Opera
House before one OF Wilmineton's cul-
tured representative and olL-iime audi
ences was complete success, both artjs-
tically aud usicAlly. Mr. Ferd Pullmer
ably presided at the piano as accompanies
TO large and efficient orchestra from
philadelphia, all under the dictatorship
OF Prof. Gilchrist. The stage was occu-
pied by the club and comprised nearly
two hundred OF our eity's picked vocal
lists. The vtniug's entertainment Was
opened by Blaging the "uallelujah
Chorus" by Handel. The cantata o
Fair Ellen" and "rhe Crusaders" was
delightfully."- rendered by the club. Tie
soloists were; Miss Kate Currinaer, so
prano; Miss Emily G. Stuart, contralto;
Mr.. Leonard X. Auty, tenor; Mr.. N. d.
C.sward, baritone. The different num-
bere weie executed with spirit and q
smoothness that reelected great credit for
his exec lent work. The concert was
e eat succtss and closes another year Of
this oreanization's public concerts. The
singing OF the different soioists needs no
commentator at our hands, as T. e ap-
pearance OF their names is sufficient
guarantee that none her than the les,
vocal music could be expected by the
brilliant concourse assembled, who were
not disappointed In their expectations.
The affair was a success in every respect.
and Wllmiugtouians may feel proud OF
this musical organization.
