It was expected from the array of tai
ent announced that the ladies' concert
Friday evening would be one of the finest
ever given in the city, and SO it proved.
The entertainment was success in every
way. Superb vocal selections, finished
instrumental performances, elaborate
toilets, and large audience, consplred to
make it an event creditable alike to the
various participants and to the city. A
program of unusual excellence was pre-
sented IN manner which could not fail
to impress everyone with feeling of
pride in the extent and ability Of James.

ed, but The ladies' fairly captivated the
assemblage with the beauty of their Co.'S
tunes. Nearly all were in full reception
dress. and presented an appearance as
charming to the eye as their music was
to the ear. Flowers were generally worn,
adding much to the effect produced by
toilets of white, cream, pale blue, crush
ed roses and sombre black.
Opening with an overture by the band
orchestra, in which that organization
showed it's merit, the several numbers
we're enthusiastically received down to the
very last. The piano duet by the Misses
Gieseler and Porter, the piano solo by
Mrs. Tilden, the violin solo by Miss
Schwellenbach, and the instrumental
quartette by the Misses Schwellenbach,
Bill, Coggeshall and Porter, comprised
the list of instrumental pieces, and all
net with the applause their classic char
acter deserved. Miss Schwe!lenbach's
performance on the violin received an en-
core, to which this accomplished young
artist responded with second selection.
The instruments employed IN the quar-
tetts were mandolin, violin, guitar and
piano-in the handling Of which the
Misses Schwellenbach, Bill, Coggeshall
and Porter demonstrated marked ability.
The first vocal number was solo,
"The Golden Threshold" in which Mrs.
c. A.. Klaus we'll trained voice was heard
to good advantage. One of Schubect's
popular serenades was next rendered by
Mesdames Pearce, Adams, Glaspell, and
Miss Porter; followed by Mrs.Schwealen-
bach's solo, "Alplne Valley" Both num-
bers we're finely executed and favorably
received by the audience. A duet, Il
Live and Love Thee," by Miss Bellivou
and Mrs. Klaus, closed the first part of
the program very acceptably.
In the second part. the vocal selections
were equally as satisfactory. Miss Belli.
vou's solo, "Waitlng," was splendid
effort, and the waltz song by Mesdames
Schwellenbach, Adams and Glaspell de-
lighted everybody. Mrs. Pearce scored
q great triumph in her solo, Robert le
diable,' and was twice called back. 1t
seemed impossible for the lady's friends
to hear enough OF her sweet, bird-like
notes. The last piece was "Humpty
Dumpty," given by an octette composed
of Mesdames Pearce, Schwellenbach,
Klaus, Miss Bellivou, sopranos, and
Mesdames Glaspell and Adams, and
Misses Schwellenbach and Porter, altos.
It afforded fitting finale to an evening
of rare enjoyment, and fully established
Jamestown's boast of possessing an
abundance of frstclass talent.
Besides the opening overture, the Or
chestra also gave q serenade, and Mrs.B.
P. Tilden, the accompaEist, deserves
special mention for conscientious work.
Taken as whole, the entertainment was
a most pleasing one, and the fact that
the proceeds will 20 to the benefit OF the
Episcopal church adds in no small
degree to the satisfaction felt over the
tlattering financial success achieved.
