Yerein Ariou.
A brilliant assembIage OF the elite Of German
society assembled at Odd Fellows Hall on
Saturday evening at The invitation OF the Verein
Arion and enjoyed the pleasures OF song, opera
and the dance. The first part OF the entertain.
ment included songs and choruses by the male
and female choirs OF the society. The beautiful
ballad, "Roand's Schwanenlied." by Mrinardus
was capitally rendered by the entire company OF
singers, Herr L0ewensIein singing the bass solo
with good effect Herr theodore Martens played
piano sole, "Paraphrase de Concert" from the
favoriie opera "Rigoletto," by Franz List. II
was very finished performance aud greatly ap-
preciaied by tie audience. The male choir was
not very successful Ia rendering "Flieg aus.
Mein Lied" by Goethe. "Malen Nacht," by
Abt, however. was very finely sung and would
have been ene0Ied had II not been against the
rules OF the secleiy rule we heartily
recommend 10 other entertainers in this city.

IN costume seemed rather our or place. The
ladies', as usual, carried the houors OF the even
lug, and the female choir gave an exceptionally
good rendering OF Hoffman's "Anl WaldIelch."
the soiolSts, with the exception OF Fri Johanna
HadenIed, however, were very weak. The lady
mentioned has a fine soprano voice, rich in tone
and knows how 10 sing. The opera "Fidelia'
was eapiially sung and played. Fri. Leona
Bergre was cast as fdeiia, aud was ably sup
ported by Messrs. Il. A. Otto, Fritz Hltzigra d.
M. WBdnier, Ed WeniZei and an efficient
chorus of soldiers. ETC. AT the close OF the opera
the floor was cleared for dancing aud tn pleas
