in Popular Favor.
The Ludden & Bates Music House gave
the third of its series of informal musicales
yesterday afternoon at Armory hall Not
withstanding the heavy rains that delu ged
the city about o'clock, by o'clock quite
an audience assembled to listen to the pre-
sentation of an interesting programme.
The opening number was Silas' Turkish
march. PLAYED by Mr.. Whitehurst and Miss
| Gertrude Smith in a menner which dis
played to advantage their efficiency and
| sympathy. They had hardly touched the
| keys when the responsive sympathetic
chord which makes artists and instruments
appear as one sometimes was plainly evil
denced.
The Magnolia Quartette, which is entitled
to rank as the most successful and artistic
male organization which the city
ton of zOllner's 1.-THE Toast and
Brahms Lullaby The personal excellence
Of the quartette's individual voices has
much to do with the accurate execution and
smooth and well balanced coloring The
quality of its tone is ON a par with its
quantity, which is at once sweet and
sonorous. Its singing yesterday afternoon
was as effective and pleasing as on any
previous occasion.
Miss Nellie Murphy gave a violin solo,
>fantasie. der Freischutz,n with piano ac-
compartment played by Mrs. j. d. Muir
ply. The rendering of this number evoked
considerable applause.
The most pretentious number on the pro-
gramme was trio from Beethoven-opus
S-for violin, cello and piano, played by
Prof. Won der Hoya. violin; Mr.. Lage, cello,
aud Mr.. Whitehurst, piano. The work is
very scholarly composition, both in form
and inspiration, and it was rendered in a
highly effective and spontaneous manner,
and gave general satisfaction,
The vocalist of the afternoon, Mr. f. E.
Rebarer, was warmly received, and gave a
charming Interpretation of two solos
Ambrose Thomas ''Connais 1u LIE Paws
from Mignon, and "Stars of the Sum-
mer Night" Mr.. Rebarer has been
singing for the last year as
professional. His voice, under careful
study, shows great improvement, and he
has seldom sang with better effect than he
did yesterday. The aria from Mignon was
beautifully rendered, and the solo which
followed showed his rich, clear tenor voice
to advantage.
A word of praise is due 70 Miss Carrie Ratz
for her piano playing. "Fleur de Salon" and
Rondo Opus "a, from Won Weber, we're her
two selections, and her execution was su-
perior to anything expected at the hands of
one so young. She won a well deserved
encore.
Miss dc Castro was down for two songs,
but was not able to appear. She is said to
possess an agreeable and well trained voice
and is a recent acquisition to musical
circles.
A pretty effect was resultant from
duet, 'Kamennoi Ostrow," arraigned for
vocation and piano. Mr.. Whitehurst
played the former and Miss Smith the later
instrument.
Mr.. Julian Walker and Mr.. George Mac
Kenzie co-operated in great measure to
the success of the entertainment by their
singing Of Balfe's melodious Excelsior
These monthly recitals do much to cult
vatothe taste and commend the study of
music to the general public. They afford far
greater pleasure during the dull hours of
the afternoon than perhaps any other form
of amusement. The next recital will be
by the Magnolia quartette, Wednesday,
