The Concert.
The Presbyterian church was crowded
to its fullest capacity Thursday upon
the occasion of the concert arranged by
the ladies of the church. To say That the
audience was pleased would be putting it
mildly, as their appreciation and pleasure
were manifested by prolonged and hearty
applause.
The evening passed pleasantly to all
who were present. To the audience be-
cause of the enjoyment they derived there
from, and to the ladies who have been &C
tive in the preparation of the musical pro-
gram because of its evident success ana
appreciation. :
Miss Davidson's rendition of Blumen-
THAT'S "L4es Deux Anges," was the first
upon the program, and that it was pleas.
ing to the assembled was evident from the
unstinted applause which followed it. AS
a pianist, Miss Davidson has few equals in
the city, and many were the compliments
expressed at the rendition.
Mrs. Porter's solos "Murmuring
Zephyr's" and "Yeoman's Wedding Song"
we're rendered with expression and feel.
ing. Mrs. POrter's voice is peculiarly
sweet, and is one OF those which reaches
to and touches the heart Of the listener.
The Misses Larim0re and Sh0rtridge were
heartily %applauded, as they sang II
Would That My Love-" with sweetness
and expression.
WaggOner, would have done credit to II
of twice her years, and the encore which
she received was evidence of its apprecia-
ton. Miss ArnOld's recitation, "Magda-
lena," was an interesting one. With a
pleasing presence Miss Arnold combines a
graceful and expressive gesture, a distinct
enunciatiOn and a thorough earnestnesS
and appreciation of her subject.
The vocal solo by MIR. Doyle was enforc-
eddy omitted, on account of his absence,
and instead Miss Freddie Bartholomew
sang, kindly coming to the rescue, "At the
Eleventh Hour" Mrs. Capehart's rendi-
ton of "The Nightingale" was pleasing,
self to Bismarckers as a singer, in "The
Beautiful Blue Danube"
The Bismarck Banjo Trio appeared
twice upon the program, and each time
was encored. Messrs. Harlan, DeCaml
and Foley appear masters of the twanginR
being the first appearance OF the CLUB IN
|. public, each member acquitted himself
with credit.
The program closed with a quintette by
the Misses Shortridge and LarimOre, and
MessrS. LarimOre and DOdds, which was
up to the standard of the entire program
i After the concert the participants were re-
ceived and pleasantly entertained by Mrs
> Asa Fisher at her residence. A delicious
r little luncheon was served and cared fol
by Mrs. Fisher, a charming hostess, the
guests passed the hours in social chat an0
! conversation until midnight.
, The Irrigation and Forestry Report.
