SATURDAY SMALL TALK.
The Athletic clubs musicale on Wednes-
day evening proved the most charming
affair of its nature that Santa Fe has en-
joyed for years. The club room presented
an attractive and cosy scene, and despite
the stormy weather every chair was oc-
cuped. That Santa Feans are ardent
lovers of music was again fully demon
strated There were eight selections Cd
the program all of which were received
with unbounded enthusiasm. The vio-
linists, Messrs. W. +. Griffin and Arthur
Selgman acquitted themselves most
creditably, and for their pains received
huge bouquets from their fellow club-men
which carried some rather merry notices.
Mrs. +. W. Clancy and Mr.. Will NJ. Tip
ton, whose well trained voices never fail
to elicit the commentator of all lovers
of music, sang "While Thus Around
Joy Hovers," with charming effect.
Miss Sloan piano solo, Beethoven s Sth
sonata, was a genuine treat; the young
lady has splendid executive ability.
Loves Sorrow" was sung by Mr.. i. A.
Hughes, whose rich, full basso tones are
always pleasing to his admirers and for
his encore ''ln Old Madrid" was given.
Miss Nettie Sloan, graceful and pretty,
sang two rather difficult selections, and
elected raptuous applause. Her lower
tones are especially rich and musical.
Other parts of the program were given by
Messrs. Upton, Hughes, Griffin and
Seligman, Mrs. E. l.. Bartlett and Miss
Sloan presiding at the piano. All who
took part were the recipients of superb
floral gifts at the hands of various friends,
and Messrs. Ed. Andrews and Hugh
Morrison did the graceful thing as flower
bearers and ushers. Throughout the af-
fair was happy success most creditable
as the clubs first entertainment, and it is
the wish of many who were present that
ere long another of the same sort may
10 announced.
