That the Wichita Musical club may
come home with the first honors Is the
hope of everybody in the Peerless Princes.
The following is a brief history Of the club
as written for the Topeka Capital By Mrs.
Nellie Hobbs-Smythe:
The Wichita Musica! club, composed
exclusively of ladies, was organized in
May, 1892 aud has for its president Mrs.
J. c. Lyeth; secretary, Miss Ida Mills;
treasurer, Miss Mason; Mrs. Lillian Ham
blen -Garst is director. and Miss Jessie
Clark, accompanist of the choral depart
ment of the club, which has devlated
somewhat from its original intention. and
now embraces a department of musical
history and instrumental music. of which
Mrs Nellie Hobbs Smythe is director
and Mrs Edwin White Moore, secretary.
The chorus numbers some seventy mem
bers, about fifty of whom have entered to
compete for the prize ut Hutchinson. No
solo number will be furnished but various
mem bers have entered into part pieces
both vocal and instrumental. During the
past season the Climb has furnished the city
with series of frst-class concerts by
leading artists of America, and has given
in addition several concerts of its own,
showing the work done by the club.
Early next season Swart's king Kene's
Daughters" will be presented.
The club meets on Saturday afternoons
at its pleasant quarters in the city hall,
where out-of-town friends and visitoas are
always welcome"
The club is regarded as the best asso-
citation of musicians in the state and the
Chicago critic who is to act as judge
will probably recognize this fact by his de-
cision. After returning, the club will give
a concert to help out the treasury depart
ment of it, which will be considerably
depleted after the Hutchinson visit. The
other clubs of the state have given their
concerts for this purpose already and in
every instance the public patronized them
very generously. 1t is to be hoped the
people of Wichita will do likewise, whether
the club is winner or not, for Wichita can
not and will not permit its musical stand
ard to so down.
