THE OPENING CONCERT
OF Prof. Colwen's Festival Greeted by an
Immense Audience.

The opening musicale Of Prof. Col
wells grand festival was greeted by an
enormous audience at the Park church
last night. The program passed OF
without break save that a. ii. More
head wasforced to omit one of ms solos
on account of an embarrassing hoarse-
ness. The piece he did sing, however,
was well rendered. Mrs. Eta Yale dis
tnguished herself in a soprano aria
from Lucia" Mrs. Mary Utley Aid
worth, the contralto, was in splendid
voice and sang her solo from LES
Huguenots" well. When l.. L. Eddy
stepped TO the front he was greeted
with applause and he sang Kreutzer's
''Forest Song IN manner which fully
displayed his grand bass voice. The
four quartet songs delighted the audi
ence and the vocal duo, ,"Quis est Homo"
from Rossini's "Stahat Mater" was ex-
ouisltely rendered by Mrs. Yale and
Mrs. .Campau. Mrs. Campau's voice never
sounded 10 better advantage than IN
the mezzo register which she took IN
this piece.
Those who made their debuts as
pianists all did well. The duo Theme
| Originate with variation" by Pike,
played by Mrs. j. G. Steketee, of this
/ city, and Miss Lizzie Schuster, OF IOnla,
was played in manner worthy OF great
applause Miss Clara Smith displayed
! fine execution IN her piano solo, and
| Mr.. and Mrs. Harry c. White executed
a fine selection, "LElsire d'Amore" by
| De Vilbac. The names of the others
who took part last evening are Miss
| Florence SImonds, Miss Maud Tucker,
Masters Ferd. and Dick Warner, Math-
eson and Shedd. The young lads did
1 well.
The usual crowd of rude whisperers
was present in the gallery, and they
succeeded in making themselves very
obnoxious toall within bearing distance.
/ Those who wish TO talk are requested
to stay away.
The notice on the programs appeared
to have atendency 10 suppress applause,
| as the audience last evening was not
lavish with its demonstrations OF salts
faction.
Mrs. Shedd, Mrs. Patten, Mrs. Nichols
and Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson Will furnish
the vocal numbers for this evening, and
the piano and organ numbers are some
