Young Mems Christian Association Enter
tainment Course 1891 and '92.

The association have arranged a
course of six entertainments for this
season and have secured talent that
makes it such literary treat as this
town has never before had an oppor-
tunity to enjoy. The chief motive of
the association is not to make
money but to give full value to every
purchaser Of ticket as the following
program and testimonials will clearly
show. The course will be opened on
Friday evening October 9th, by
Fosters New York Stars and Mec-
klem's Saxophone and Harp Soloists.
Note what the Press says of the
combination
"A superb musical event in this
city was the concert at the Opera
House last evening under the aus
pices of the Star entertainment course
of Y. M. c. A. The music lovers of
this city seldom have the pleasure of
witnessing such an excellent display
of talent as that of Fosters New York
Stars. The audience was exceedingly
large. The Morning call, Harris
burg, Pa"
"The Harpist, Mr.. n. Mecklem
and the Saxophonist, Miss Bessie Mec-
KLEIN, form a combination of peculiar
interest and are the attraction of con-
cert-goers. They play well, and the
two instruments in conjunction are
genuine novelty. Miss Mecklem is a
pupil of Leiebre, and her father is an
accomplished Harpist. Their selec-
tons are of the pupular order, and
their success as a new feature in an
old field is assured.-Music and
Drama.
Friday Evening, Nov. 9th, will be
filled by SCOTS Recitals. ....
"Mrs. Scott has an elegant stage
presence, refined, high-bred features,
and voice beautifully modulated and
of wide range. Mr.. Scott is tall and
dignifed, gifted with full, deep,
round voice, which fills the hall to its
fartnest corner, and is magnetic in its
quality. Every number of the pro-
gram was exceedingly fine and render
ed with grace and finish. The audi
ence was large, and generous with re-
calls.-DaiIy Ecening Item, Lynn,
Mass.
