TIE CONFERENCE CONCERT.

AhE NONf Shb-NNb OONNEhI.
A vast multitude attended the conference
concert last evening and the great tRber-
nacle was filed up to the top row of seats
in the balcony, 1t was the largest attend
snce at musical entertainment since the
last conference, and as happily disposed an
assemblage as was ever witnessed in the
great building
The regular choir was augmented bv
children, mading a grand chorus of 700
voices, whose possessors occupied the
entire seating space allotted to the singers
and swelled out in to the sections OF the gal
lery at the right and lett wings of the
choir loft
Conductor Stephens showed a fine ap-
probation Of his public by arranging high
class popular programme well suited for
general audience.
After the invocation the programme
opened with the grand chorus LET the
Hills resound,n by the tabernacle chorus,
$50 voices, accompanied by the great
organ, very pretty piece TO follow the
devotional prayer. The chorus was evenly
balanced. though the bassos appeared little
the strongest
The Boshard and Pyne brothers. Of
Provo, a male quarJette, sang 20 World
80 Wondrous Fair, accompanied by q lit
tie melodian. The voices were sufficiently
harmonized to have rendered the song with
out the accompaniment. and the perform
ance elected a hearty encore, but Prof.
Stephens refused TO sanction q repetition
by saying that the audience would fad the
feast spread before it sufficient to satisfy
Its appetite.
Mrs. Bessie Dean Allison's very sympa-
thetic contralto has been seldom heard to
better advantage than in Loves Sorrow"
There was charming simplicity TO the
rendition that was highly eommendable in
these times of strained effects
The Ladies' Mandolin and Guitar club
forty in number, filed into the seats of the
church dignitaries, and their toreador
costumes, distinctively Spanish, were very
picturesque and pretty, their yellow sashes
harmorizlng with the color of their instru-
ments. Miss Ella Olson swung her baton
with her customary grace, and the melo-
dious strains were rapturously applauded
The violinist, at TIE HERALD's sugges-
ton, was dispensed with and in his place a
lady welded the bow
A man played the bass viol but he had
the good taste to remain in the rear, thus
notmarring the pretty effect Of the bouquet
of suhowers.
''F'Iow Gentle Diva" a duet by the Tout
brothers, Of Ogden, though little anna
flourish in technique, displayed a fine
robust tenor and a rich basso voice, which
blended we'll
The grand double chorus by the Juvenile
and Tabernacle choirs rendered an adapts-
ton of the "snvil chorus;'' and the patri-
otto anthem was interpreted by the iuven-
lies waving stands of the stars and stripes
keeping time with the music The grand
effect stirred up the audience to a high
pitch of enthusiasm, and would not be
silenced until Conductor Steph ems broke
over his rule and permitted a repetition.
sailors Signs" a melodious Duet was
sung by Agnes Olsen Thomas and G. d.
Pyper. Mrs. Thomas voice is of extended
register, and she sang the beautiful air
with as little effort as is II speaking her
lines, while Mr.. Piper was in good voice
and sang very satisfactorily. 1t was one of
the best number OF the evening.
A pleasing change in the programme was
an organ solo by Professor Daynes, whose
fine playing is 700 well known 10 require
comment here.
A duet, 1.-The Lost Ship" by Boshard
Brothers was well presented and highly
appreciated.
Ever welcome is X. c. Easton and he
sang the Scotch ballad, ''Mary Of Argyle"
full of feeling and captured the hearts Of
the thousands who listened to his rich
baritone notes, with a tenor flavor.
The eleventh number on tha programme
read: "A good old time song by George
Goddard, seventy-six years of age"
Mr.. Goddard has wonderfully well
preserved voice though he did not get off
with the organ, failing to strike the key.
After two bitches Mr.. Goddard gave the
