The Lehlgh Concert.

The concert by the Lshigh University
Glee and Banjo Clubs in ODD Feio"s
hall on Monday night was indeed musi-
cal treat and the large audience that
| greeted the collegians could put DO
pleased and appreciative OF the enter
tainmsnt. The opening selection OF 'he
program a march, 1.-THE Gladlators oy
the banjo club, at once secured the favor
of the audience for the players OF the
banjos, guitars and the tinkhng man
dolins, whose parts throughout unuer
the leadership of Mr., Pettinos we're most
artistic and pleasing. The orchestral
effect of their playing was noticeaoly
strong and refined and conspicuous tor
the absence of that plinkety PUNK OF tne
average banjo club. Mr.. Pettlnos is a
graceful leader and the clubs admirable
renditions of such novel selections as the
advance and Retreat of the oalvatloh
Army" and the Passing Regimen"
were features of the evening.
Mr.. Pettinos had previously appeared
before an Elkton audience and he was
greeted with applause upon coming
upon the stage for his comic vocal solo
waich scored hit and he responded to
the encore. The glee club with its SIX
teen members under the direction OF Mr.
Hall is most creditable organization full
of dash and that ring of college campus
jollity. Their singing was of high and
popular order their sparkling songs,
being we'll received and encored. Their
most attractive piece was the selection
1.-THE Wandering Singers" the club
depicting the singing of the trouoadors
in the far distance the volume of song
increasing as the singers approach and
as gradually dying away as the band OF
wandering MINISTRIES depart. The voices
in the club blend admirably and their
efforts evidence careful and untiring
training which can likewise be said of
the glee club. Messrs Quigley, Taylor,
Payne aud Hall of the Glee club, com.
pose merry quartet, and their part was
we'll received as was shown by the
applause given them. The specially of
Mr.. Hallock who by a ma nipulation OF
his tongue against the roof of his mouth |
produces a conclusion in imitation OF
xylophone was a surprise as we'll as |
novelty, and made the audience laugh |
and call for more. Mr.. Hallock respon-
ded in the air of "the Bowery" to banjo |
and guitar accompaniment. The glee |
club closed the program with vigorous
college yell and the regret was that such
a pleasing entertainment had ended.
The Lehigh clubs have scored most favor
ably in Elkton and another good house
awaits them should they again appear
here.
