MUSICAL MENTION.

Home aIsi Abroad.
The Schubert coDeert At the Hotel
Ottawa last Wednesday evening was
somewhat OF a novelty, and huge sue
cess. Ii was an innovation from beng
shut up these id$lmmer nights IN
poorly ventilated theateg. Bat the cool,
pure breeze from tke lake, that IS ever
present at that resdrt, afforded an en-
Joyment that was , rarity and pleas
ure TO the enthusisf ftic audience. The
projectors OF tnete resort entertain
meuts say they arelyery much enc0ur-
aged 10y the stimulus received az tins
last entertainment.nnd VIII continue 10
give these concerts 4 uring the summer
season.
". l.. LAWN, the Rnor, Francis Camp
bell, the baritone i bnd Henry Post, the
pianist, will leave pr the North Tues
day, 10 give serik OF entertainments
among the Northetn resorts.
1t is n rare occurrence in our city that
we have an opportunity 10 listen 10
sucn men as Will be presented ID the
public at the Presbyterian Church to-
morrow evening. An unusual combln-
alton of circumstances will tend 10
, make the concert the most remarkable
event of the kind that we have ever
had the privilege II attending. In the
first place the nov organ, built by
OdeilIi superior 70 any other organ IN
Grand Rapids. IL already shows It's
exquisite beauty oftone and resonance,
anu besides this possesses a certain
/ iudicious combination of stops. IL this
latter respect existi It's great superiority
over any otner organ heretofore IN the
city.
Again, we are 70 have an artist of
more than National reputation. Mr..
| Clarence Eddy played IN Trucadero
Hall during tie Paris Exposition, and
was received with enormous cnthCS.-
: aSm by the French audience. His sue
! cess rs concert Organist was simply
! phenomenal. Mr.. Eddy Is a thorough
! ly genial gentleman, a stauuch frIend,
and it is Il pleasure and privilege to
meet him. Another important feature
/ in connection with this concert is the
cooperation Of Mr.. Emilio Agra amonte,
! OF New York. lie Is acknowledged to
| be the greatest vocal conductor in
| America. As chorus trainer and
| teacher of solo singing he is absolutely
| unparalleled. The projectors of the
| Monday evening concert are 10 De con-
| graduated upon the acquisition OF such
I Il world-renowned artist rs Mr. Agra
monte to assist IN and ensuring the sue
cess of their enterprise.
Still another great factor OF excel
/ lence for this concert - the appear
ance of what We consider the coming
American tenor, Mr.. William j. Lawn.
/ Almost teGor rObusto, Mr.. LAWN
powerful, fresh voice IS weli-nlgh ire
sistble. As be Is, so he sings; and he is
u rollicbng good feilOw-warm-
! hearted, genial and enthusiastic. An
| excellent amateur sand: at is more
! pleasure to hear Lawn sing than any
/ body ever heard" And so, indeed
it j. a rare pleasure to hear his rich
| voice vibrating IN tender keeping with
/ the sentiment OF the music ne Is inter-
I pretIng-tender and gentle. and again
in ImpetuOus outbursts of fierce pas
son.
An excellent chorus, under the capa-
/ ble training of Mr.. AgramOnte, Will be
a valuable component IN the program.
Altogether. IL Will Toe - long while be-
! fore circumstances again cOnsUre 10
get together a chorus consisting OF such
artists as Mrs. Frank Davis, Mrs Mer-
/ rh, Mr. Francis Campbell, Nj. More
head. MIR. Eddy and several others of
our most excellent and esteemed
singers, and we doubt if Grand Rapids
viii ever have on one program greater
/ combination OF talent to contribute 10
our musical appreciation. The get-up
