Hall last evening to listen to the concert
given under the auspices of the Garfield
Club by the Schubert Male Quartet of Chi
cago, assisted by Miss Eugenia M. Bald
win, soprano, Miss Ida M. Clemens,
reader, and Miss Louisa Roman, accompa-
mist. From the words of high commenda-
tion and impartial praise which had pre-
ceded this company the audience went TO
the hall In anticipation of a rare treat. 1t
Is safe TO say that very few, IL any, were
disappointed, for this concert was un-
doubtedly the finest that has been given
in this city.
For an encore TO one of their numbers
the quartette rendered the old familiar
ballad "Nellie Gray" In SO touching n
manner as TO receive a third encore. Miss
Baldwin Is soprano OF musical merit,
her tones being exceptionally clear and
accurate, and the ease with which her
numbers were rendered bore testimony to
a finished artist. The bass solo, 'rhe
Wolf" by Mr.. Jott was a revelation, and
he was heartily encored.
On Monday evening, the Goth inst, the
Garfield club will offer another attraction
to the people Of this city, in the shape of
a consolidated college concert by the
Brown University Glee, Banjo and Man
dolin club, and the Tufts College Glee
club, both of which are well known in
this city.
