DID THEIR BEST.
But the Elements Were Against the
Worlds Fair SoIoists.
A Rather Unresponsive Audience At The
Tabernacle Last Night-Good Work
BY The Artists.

a concert by Utah's fayorite soloists
at the great tabernacle, for as popular 6
cause as the Worlds fair, ought to be
attraction enough to secure a large audi
ence and conspicuous success.
But all these things were set aside by
the snow and rain storm that set in early
in the day and kept falling thicker and
more wet until it was taking some risk
for those musically dispersed to appear
after dark without life preserver about
their waists, the streets being filled with
| treacherous holes and the sidewalks
swimming with mud and snow-water,
in about equal parts.
| To add TO this discomfort, the taoer-
nacle was cold and chilly. Then there
were numerous bitches in the programme,
delays and transpositions. until it was
| beyond recognition from the printed bill.
In vain did Mr.. Krouse struggle to give
| life to the members by spirited accom-
paniaments, and the grand fantasia
on the great organ did no more than
arouse momentary enthusiasm.
To those who have attended concerts
where every number was applauded to the
echo by six or more thousands of hands,
and where the furore broke out in braves
and other EXPLANATIONS OF delight, the
affair of last night was very tame and I'M
responsive.
But the singers were all there, the best
in their class, and they sang as best they
could with their Threats muffied and the
audience kicking each other (under the
benches) to keep warm.
William Squires struck his best notes
in stHybrias'' and with the precision OF
Myron Whitney. Mrs. C,1lhorn Plummer
and Mr.. G. D. Piper sang duet from
Light of Asia. - Miss Jennie Winston,
Californian songstress, made a very
favorable impression by soprano aria,
'sSicilliene Vespers,' by Verdi. Miss
Royle was welcome as ever, her fine
phrasing and soulful singing being de-
lightfully refreshing. Mrs. Jennie Haw-
ambitious effort with Isl Tu NJ Annals. -
while praiseworthy, failed to inspire the
audience. At the conclusion Mrs. Woodrow
was presented with an elaborate and
beautiful basket of roses. This graceful
tribute was acknowledged by an encore.
While some of the soloists failed 60
gauge the increased dimensions of the
tabernacle over the ordinary concert
rooms. Mr.. Ravens resonent voice was
heard to better advantage.
The success of the evening clearly be-
Ionged to Willard Weihe, and he stirred
up considerable warmth.
Mr.. Krouse shared the honors with his
brilliant execution of Gottchalk's
ssTremolo, 4" calling for his return, and
this earned further applause.
