A Notable Musical Event-Locai Affairs
of Inrsrost.
PASADENA, Sept. 2O.-The large audit
orium of the Presbyterian church was
we'll filed and overfowed into the gal
lery last evening by an audience to hear
the farewell concert Of Miss Alice Cole
man before leaving to resume her stud
les in the east. The decorations were
not profuses green being used exclu-
sively, but were arranged with much
taste.
Miss Coleman was assisted by Mrs.
w. B. Clapp, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Gard
ner Coggswell of Los Angeles. Mr.. e. D.
Clark, Herr Bernhardt and the Polym-
mia quartette, composed OF Mrs. Post
and Misses Ellis, Peck and Stouten-
burg.
The programme was about equally d.
vided between the vocal and instru-
mental selections, and was thoroughly
enjoyable. The duet work on the
piano and organ by Mrs. Coggs-
well aud Miss Coleman was of
very high order, the selections being
some OF the most difficult compositions.
The Polymnia quartette WAS heard in
two selections, the first. Oft in the Silly
Night, being given in an exquisite
manner, calling out hearty encore.
The blending of the voices was excel
lent and showed careful training on the
part OF the participants.
Mr.. E. II. Clark was only down for
one violin solo, but the audience would
have been glad to have heard more Of
his playing.
Mr.. VIM. Cogswell is too well known
to the mueic-loving people of this Sec
tion to need any introduction, and his
rendition last night in Non ever was
received with storm of applause.
It is doubtful If Gounod's Tell Me,
Beautiful Maiden, was ever rendered
more neatly and with more effect than
it was by Mrs. Clapp, whose always ex-
cellent voice was heard at its best.
Miss Coleman's selections on the man.
moth organ surpassed any of her former
efforts. and surprised and delighted her
friends.
Taken as whole the concert was most
enjoyable all through, and Of much
credit to those participating.
THOSE CAR TRACKS.
The Star advocates the removal of the
street car tracks from Colorado street
before the paving is done, on the
them. While there is no doubt but
that there is force in this argument.
still If the advocates OF this change
have any idea OF seeing the paving COM
pleted before the rains set in, they b ad
better let the thing alone, for the
change could only be made by an agree
ment between the street railway COM
pany and the property owners, by which
the latter would assume the entire cost
of the work, q considerable portion of
which will, under the present arrange
ments, have to be borne by the street
railway company.
II is exceedingly doubtful whether
the property owners would agree to this
change, and in case they did it would
necessitate change in the electric fran
chise which Is now being asked for by
the consolidated company, making q
most entangling muddle.
Doubtless the street railway company
would like to avoid the heavy expense
of paving between and for two feet ON
each side Of their track, but there seems
no way for them to get out of it.
