The G. Csc Concert.
The G. G.. G. concert last night was
very much more than a mere financial
success. 1t was an exhibit of musical
home talent rarely met with in any city
of the size of The Dalles while the sing
ing Of Miss Lena Morgan afforded
treat to our people that they have rarely
an opportunity of enjoying. At exactly
S:15 the concert was opened by the
chorus 'Beggars Carnival" which was
excellently rendered by the choir.
This was followed by "Ahl Could
Teach the Nightingale, a very pleasing
duet by the Misses Crandall and Maie
Williams. Then came the solo "A Tu
Sc Donna by Miss Morgan which was
charmingly rendered and fairly captured
the house. OF course an encore followed
and the response came in "Rubinstine's
Melody in F." which was re-
ceived with rounds OF applause.
In point of fact the audience was now
charmed to point of dissatisfaction
they wanted Enthusiastically that Miss
Morgan should keep on singing which,
of course could not be. Then came
finely executed cornet duet sThe Swiss
Boy" by Ed Williams and James Ben
ton. This was followed by the solo,
"My Lady's Bower" in the hap
piest style of the chorister II. P.
with "a very pretty and catchy serio-
comic ballad entitled" MaryGreen. The
audience showed their appreciation by a
second hearty call, when Mr.. Ernst
responded by repeating the last verse
of the melody. Then came magnifi-
Gently executed instrumental duet by
two of our most accomplished pianists,
Mrs. G. G. Dexter and Miss Matilda
Hollister. 1t was encored, of course, it
could not be otherwise and the response
met with hearty applause. Then came
fine anthem by the choir, and then a
very pretty solo by Miss Morgan, en-
titled "Thee Only / Love-" A hearty
encore brought out what perhaps every
one present considered the masterpiece
of the evening, a pretty little cradle
song that was certainly the sweetest
thing ever brought before DaIles
audience. Miss Morgan's rendering of
the song was-as charming as delight
fully pleasing voice and perfect culture
could make 1t. Everyone felt the power
of the accomplished artistic and every
! ear was strained to catch the faintest
whisper of the matchless melody. The
applause that followed was long and
loud. Then came Mr.. Benton's cornet
solo, Yankee Doodle (withsvariations
which was well executed; then a very
sweet song by Mrs. Huntingdon ''The
Fower Girl'' who responded to an en-
core with '.Fairy From Shadow Town y
Both of these were rendered very sweetly
and were we'll receivedas anything from
/ Mrs. Huntington always is. Then came
the vocal duet "See the Pale Moon,'' by
Miss Lena Morgan and Miss Maie
Williams. This was another charming
piece and was finely executed. The
kaudienee was unsatisfied and wanted
more,. but the Misses Morgan and
Williams refused to respond and the
concert closed with ''Winter lullaby
trio with chorus by Misses Maia E.
Williams and Grace Crandall and Mr..
FL. P Ernst. This broughtt to close a
most successful concert. The house was
we'll filled and handsome balance will
be added to the pipe organ fund of the
new Congregational church. Mr. Ernst
managed all the arrangements and de-
serves great credit for the results.
