made brief address supplemental to
that of MIR. Mum. He said the organ

seen by our followers"

enjoyment. The little oratory was the
only set programme, and after it was
concluded every member was free to
enjoy himself in the way that to him
seemed best Herr Lienau was in great
demand and sang several solos to the
accompaniment of general applause
The MendelsSohn quartette also fur
nished most delightful music. and thus
the hours were spent until far into the
night.
