The concert last night was a great
treat to all who had the pleasure of lis
tening thereto. The programme began
with an anthem by the First Congrega-
tional church choir of Los Angeles. Mr..
Charles f. Day welded the baton with
dignity and grace, and the music was
some of the best chorus music that has
been heard at Long Beach. The
anthem was followed by a tenor
solo by Prof. Bacon, the new leader
of the choir that had just performed.
Next came "Gypsey Life" by the as
sembly chorus. Miss Harter, who is
with the Orion Club, gave very pleas
ing violin solo from Mendelssohn's con-
certo in E., and responded to an encore
with "Suwanee River" A solo and
chorus by Miss Auld and the assembly
chorus brought out the beautiful So
prano of Miss Aud, to the admiration of
all who heard her. Tom Barnes fol-
lowed the chorus with recitation
"What Baby Can Do," and responded
to an encore with "Love on the Half
She'll" Mrs. Blakeslee rendered piano
solo. Mr.. Steedman Jones, the tenor of
the Orion Club, sang "Come Into the
Garden, Maude," pleasingly and effect
lively. The entire club then sang an
Italian air very sweetly. The choir and
the assembly chorus then sang the
Damascus March," One of the most
pleasing numbers on the programme
was Miss Auld's soprano solo, BIRD of
the Mountain" Previous to the closing
piece on the programme DR.. Hirst was
called upon the platform to say good bye,
and was greeted with the "Chautauqua
salute" which made the auditorium
sea OF waving handkerchiefs for a brief
moment. Prof. Blakeslee followed with
a few hearty words of appreciation Of
the kind treatment he had received in
Southern California. Then came final
selection by the combined chorus choir,
ing the doxology.
This morning DR.. Dobbs gave his lee
ture, dreams and Dreamers."
A business meeting was called for
early in the afternoon, at which the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed:
