THE B. Y. CHORAL.
A Splendid Concert by the Provo Society
Last Evening.

A Splendid Concert by the Provo Society
Last Evening.
The audience assembled at the taber-
nacle last evening to hear the B. Y. Acad-
envy Choral society was not what 1t
should have been, and would truly have
been augmented one hundred-fold had its
managers been more judicious in their
methods of advertising. The programme
was an excellent one and of varied quail
ties. The choir seats were occupied By
the visiting choir, the ladies dressed IN
white. In the foreground was an or
chestra of sixteen pieces. The orchestra,
under the batonage of Professor George
Careless, gave their selections IN such an
affiant manner as to elicit the Warmest OF
applause from their audience. They were
sustained by the great organ, which was
presided over in mastery manner by
Professor Joseph ]. Daynes.
The choruses from the Creation,
the ssInhammatus' and the "Gypsy
Life' were well done, and showed that
Professor IL. E. Giles had done excellent
work in training this body of singers.
The parts were well balanced. The ''Gyp-
sy Life, - peculiarly wierd and fantastic
composition by Schumans, was the best
ensemble piece of the evening
Miss Lillian Roberts acquitted herself
nobly in the s'Infiammatus, singing
the solo splendidly and attacking the
high with the precision and confidence
of an artist.
Miss Laura Webb sang with live ex-
preston 1.-THE Land of the Trumpet and
Spear, - that brought forth demand for
repetition.
Miss May Zabriski showed timidity
in her choral solo, 'The Marvellous
Work. but regained her presence in the
duet, stHoly Mother" This duet was so
well rendered that the audience insisted
on its repetition.
Mr.. w. D. Roberts, IT., sang ''Thy
Sentinel am 10 in fair manner. This is
bass solo, and had Mr.. Roberts sang
baritone solo, he would have merited an
encore, as he has good baritone voice,
which is worthy OF a better selection.
Professor G. w. Give, the violinist's
appearance was welcomed as usual with
applause. His ''Souvenir de Bade''
difficult composition, taxing the energies
OF soloists to their fullest extent, to his
hand offered no obstacles. He received
two encores, responded by giving respec-
t1vely beautifully dainty little plzzicato
movement by Vieuxtemps, and Balfe's
ballad 'sThen You'n Remember Me-
Verdi's .'BoIero'' was given brilliant
Interpretation by Miss Roberts, showing
to advantage her sweet, sympathetic
soprano voice.
The Boshard and Pyne quartette sang
the Bridge exceptionally well and re-
sponded to an encore by giving Like the
Woodland Roses.
The Fourth Ward. Glee clubs selection,
s'The Vacant Chair, - was surprise, the
gentlemen's voices harmouizing and
blending splendIdly, so much SO that they
were recalled, the encore song being
"Awake, Thou Voice of Harmony"
Professor H. E. Giles is to be congratu-
lated upon his ambitious effort, which
was such an artistic success.
