IuCNEAIEN Ts.



The sixth season of the Apollo club began
at the Boyd last evening with program of
varied character. The audience may have
been a little smaller and somewhat less
brilliant as to dress than usual, but it was
quite as representative ana appreciative.
The first part OF the entertainment was u
concert program. which included IA Wet
Sheet and Flowing Sea-" part song by
the club; the "Rnine Wine Song of Rees
and THE River Flows" of Cowen, by Mr..
Charles A. knorr; the "Carmen Fantastic
OF Jen Huoey, by Mr.. Burt Butler: Weber's
prayer and allegro, "Der Freyschutz,n by
Miss Bertha Bavliss, and Dudley Bucks
Nun OF Nidaros," with the tenor solos sus-
tanned by Mr.. W., b. Wilkins and the
choruses by the Apollos The second part
consisted of THE Crusaders" cantata by
Gade, with Miss Baylss as the soprano, Mr..
knorr as the tenor and Mr.. Thomas j. PEN
uell as the baritone.
MIR. Knorr was suffering from severe
cold, and though he occasionally rose supe-
rior to his physical ailments his work as
whole was sadly narred. Miss Bavliss'
voice displays considerable Improvement
since last heard in Omaha, the result of her
training in the east. 1t has fine melodic
qualities, is particularly pure in it's upper
notes and has much power The fair singer

There was just the least trace of thickness in
Mr.. Wilkins tones, probably the effect of
cold, but otherwise his execution was quite
up to his usual standard
The Apolos were in fine spirit. well trained
In the work in hand and, barring a pre-
ponderance of female voices, presented as
we'll balanced and finished renditIons as
they arc wont to do. THE Crusaders is
much less exactlng in its requirements than
several of the works previously presented by
the Apollos, but its simpler music has melo-
dies farther within the range of the popular
ear, and 1t may be questioned If it is not
moro satisfactory to The average audience in
consequence.

troller, requires only the number of cars

ignoring the language OF the ordinance ana
paving the way for q loss Of many thous-
ands of dollars to the city.
The ordinance provides that street cars
shall be numbered for the collection Of the
same rule would necessarily apply to both;
and, hence, under the ruling Of the Con-
troller, owners of vehicles ought to pay only
a part of the regular license fee in proper
tion to the average number of days his
vehicles have been in use during the year.
but doubtless this ruling will only be ap-
piled for the benefit of the street car COM
panies. The owner of an ash wagon or an
express wagon might be in stringent flnan-
cial need of the reduction in his license zee,
but no one is likely to be sharing in the
paltry profits of his business, and his inf1u-
ence is inflnitesimal in comparison with tnat

1t is recommended that the manner of the
keeping of the accounts of each department
be carefully investigated during tne coming

as though we had not done our full duty il
we did not call Councils attention to the

the Controller shall be competent account

nothing of the principles and rules govorn-

hence is legally ineligible for the office of
Controller. While tie citizens of Allie
