Professor Barker and Others Give a
Concert at Sausalito.
A correspondent of the RECORD UNION,
writing from Sausalito under date of
August Both, gives the following account
of concert given there for the benefit of
the Episcopal Church at that place:
A very large audience gathered last
Thursday evening at Sausalito Hall to hear
a grand concert given under the direction
OF Professor Arthur c. Barker, of Sacra-
mento. The audience was composed of
the elite of this beautiful resort, and the
character of the performance was such as
to make it thoroughly appreciatlve and en-
thusisstic, which was shown by profusion
of floral gifts and constant applause. Pro-
fessor Barker is too we'll known as a
mastery and skillful ,,vioinist to need
any praise or comment on the part of the
writer. The concert opened with an over
ture by Professor Barker, accompanied by
Mis- Maud Noyes on the piano. 1t was a
brilliant performance, and was enlhusi-
astically greeted
A cornet SOLO by Alfred P. Black of San
Francisco, was up to the usual high water
mark of that well-known cornetist. Miss
Kate L. Trueholtz, of Petaluma, but we'll
known in Sacramento, sang La Separs-
zione," by Rossini, and as an encore, sang
Way Down Upon.lhe Suwanee River"
Miss Trueholtz has an exquisite voice, full
OF power and sweetness, and range and
fexibility. For several years she was the
pupil of Carl Formes. and expects shortly
to 20 to Europe to finish her musical edu.
cation and prepare for The opera We pre-
dict that Miss Trueholtz will add one more
bright star to California's already brilliant
constellation.
Signor G. Cipolloni gave the audience
"Dors Be Be- on the mandolin in mas
terly way, and for an encore gave polka
with guitar accompaniment
Miss Maud Z Noyes was enthusiastically
greeted when she made her bow before the
audience to sing Isl To Maiais,n which was
sung with her usual sweetness and express
sion. Miss Noyes has voice of exquisite
richness and remarkable flexibility. She
sang as an encore the delightful ballad,
Leave Me Not, in which her rich and
expressive voice melted at times into mere
shadows of sound.
Miss o, G. Allen, of San Francisco, ex-
ecuted brilliant polonnsise by Chopin
upon the piano. Miss Anna Nicholson, OF
Ssusalito, recited "Lasca,n and delighted
the audience with her remarkably fine elo-
| cutionary talent. As an encore she recited
humorous piece, entitled Taking the
Census"
The second part of the programme, in
which most of the artists reappeared, was
greeted with the same degree of enthusi-
asm- Rarely has Sausalito, or any other
place, been treated to richer feast of vocal
| and instrumental melody, all the perform
| ers being of high artistic merit. The con-
cert was due entirely to the energy and
| efforts of Professor A. c. Barker, who con-
ceiyed and carried it out within few days
afterwards,
The concert was given for the benefit OF
the Episcopal Church here. and melted q
neat sum forithat object. and it will be re-
membered by ali who were present as one
of the musical events of Sausalito. all

| friends, were afterwards barqueted by Miss
Marion A. Davis at the beautiful Alta Mira
Villa, where several Sacrementans are now
