Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
New CASTLE, June 2-One of th.
most select audiences that has evel
assembled at the Opera House heard the
first grand unison concert of the Choral
Society and Hushebeck Orchestra on
| Saturday evening. The audience was
not only intelligent but appreciative and
every number was heartily applauded
/ The orchestra presented better class OF
music than has ever been heard here
before. Professor Duncan directed and
accom- panied the players. The solos were
not as well rendered as at the orchestral 2
last concert, but barring this fact the
execution and expression of every selec
| tion was excellent.
The Choral Society which was or
| ganized in February last, appeared for
the first time at a concert. The costumes
and appearance of the singers alone was
| worth the price of admission. The ladies'
had with few exceptions, made or pre-
pared dresses especially for the occ Asion.
All wore evening dresses, the ladies ap-
pearing in cream and pink costumes, and
the gentlemen ia conventional black
suits. Both the singing and the selec-
tions reflected great credit on the popular
conductor, George J. Hermann. The
choruses were all beautiful and every
part could be heard distinctly all over
the house, the pieces "Hail Smiling
Morn" and "A Spring Day being es-
pecially deserving of commentator.
The concert was one of which this city
should certainly be proud Both organi
zations are highly gratifed at the result,
although it was anticipated, from the
encouragement given the movement at
the start that the house would be packed
to the doors The society will at once
begin rehearsing for a fall entertain
ment. Floral Mission Day will be exten-
sively celebrated by the local
Womens Christian Temperance Union
on Monday, June. o. Requests
