so unfortunate as to frequently play out
or time. 1t seems to us matter of re-
greet that the clarionet Is ever used as a
solo Instrument excepting with orches-
trail accompaniment. MIR. Strachauer
played the notes OF his part in the trio
for violin, cello and piano very conscien-
tlousiy, but with an amazing lack of ex-
preston, and much OF the time too loud
for the violin. The feature of the even
ing that surprised us most was the num-
Der by the Cecilian quartette. None of
the voices give any evidence of private
training, and the effect is that the attack
or enunciation of the tone in each voice
is husky or breathy. Their work was
exceedingly crude. The best that can
be said is that they were mainly in tune
and blended fairly we'll. Mr. Zoch has
certainly been flattered enough by the
press in Minneapolis to be able to stand
little criticism. He is spoken of as a
hrst-class artist. If to be able to force
the tone OF the piano until elasticity is
| greatly lnterefered with and to render
a beautiful melody with cold impas-
slVeneSs that is contagious, then Mr..
| Zoch is first-class artist.
MIR. Shuey is without doubt good
church organist. He plays with taste
ana effect. Asasolo organlsth he as truly
| shows that he has not had sufficient
organ schooling. twenty-five or thirty
| years ago it would answer to weave
together a few operate airs that re-
| qulre no pedal technique, but the solo
| organlSt OF to-day must possess a pedal
| technique that comes from years of
| schooling.
MIR. Straka's number was dainty, ar
tistic, enjoyable; and, being these. was

The club might have given fourteen
nmbers similar. if not equal to it.

About four months ago Prof. Nelson, |
OF Chicago, arrived in this city and i'm |
mediately commenced selecting voices
for the production of the beautiful |
operetta Golden Hair and The Three
Bears" by the well-known composer
Astor Broad. The operetta has been |
presented under the direction of Prof. |
Nelson in several other cities and al |
ways to crowded houses. The plot Of
the operetta, based upon the old fairy |
tale so we'll known 10 young and old, is |
worked out in five acts with lots of |
comical scenes by the three bears and |
many beautiful tableaus. It will be |

the following weIl-kuown singers I
