Fourtn OF July in the good old way,
such as has not been seen here in a long
time and to the end that it may be an I'M
qualified success, il is desired that every
body make it part Of their business to
do all that is possible, and to unite with
other citizens and their friends to assure
its complete success. When you are
called upon to contribute to the general

evening, and mass meeting will be
called some evening next week. to discuss
the matter and bring it properly before

prominent citizens who has been heard
here before. Music and other necessities
are already provided for.

The Lily Runals Concert Monday
evening was quite an event and q decided
success unsteady as well as financially.
A full house greeted the performers and
displayed marked appreciation of their
efforts Miss Runals is always magnifi-
cent and her work Monday evening simp
Iy deepened the conviction in her hearers
minds that she is a great singer. Her
tones have the same wonderful resonance
and her expression the same ''soul ;"
which always distinguished her work
Prof McAllister is new to Kenosha audi
ences, and his singing Monday evening
was in the nature Of q discovery. He is
not only beautiful singer, but he is a
teacher and exempIifie5 his method in his
work: The dominant characteristic Of
his singing was the peculiar fuIlnesS and
softness Of his tones. He uses what is
known among musicians as medium
tone through a very large range giving
one the impression Of baritone voice
rather than d tenor Il is the method
used by Sig Gorno and many of the
greatest voice builders in this country as
well as the French and Italian schools in
Europe. The professor is the author Of
quite number Of very charming pieces
and is quite in demand in Chicago and
vicinity as vocal teacher. It is quite
likely that he will be wanted in Kenosha
again before very long. Monday evening
was the first appearance Of the Arion
Quartette as at present constructed and
Judging from their reception they have
lost nothing OF their popularity Miss
Jennie Blinn presided at the piano and is
winning laurels as pianist almost equal
to those she Wea,s as q vocalist The
weather Monday evening was very bad
for the singers and they felt lis baneful
effects, although the enthusiastic eneores
the performers all received indicated
nothing Of the kind The second bass
In the quartette especially, was il. bad
shape, as he was suffering from a neu
ralgic headache, an liberated tooth and a
superabundance Of cheek Financially
the concert would have been a much
greater success if the managers had had
the nerve to charge so cents instead OF
35 cents. Such q concert would have
have drawn just as many at 50 cents as
at 35.
