A NUMBER or INTERESTING SOCIAL AFFAIRS
LAST NIGHT
Easter Concerts and Balls Given BY Several
Singing Societies Egg Social at the
A.-O;hsr Affairs.

The post-Lenten social season opened
most auspiciously last evening. There
we're a number Of pretentious affairs,
notably the balls given by three singing
societies. The annual Easter ball is an
event which is always looked forward
to with pleasureable anticipation, and
last nights affairs were so enjoyable
that no person who attended was dis
appointed.
At the Ariou the audience completely
filed the hall during the concert, and
was augmented by late arrivals after
the dancing commenced. The musical
programme was one Of exceptional
merit, aud each number was warmly
applauded. The Opera House Orches-
ira rendered several selections in It's
usual faultless style, The choruses by
the Arion were we'll sung, especially
that which concluded the programme.
The chorus consisted OF twenty-five
voices. OF the vocal solos, 1t
is unnecessary to comment. They
we're contributed by Mrs.
Flora Williams, Frank ]. Dlegmiller
and Jacques Front, all Of whom are de-
servedly favorites with the musical peO-
plsof Wheeling. Miss Mamie john
ston's piano solo was rendered in fault
less style. Miss Johnson promises to
become one OF the best pianists in the
city. Prof. II. NJ. Shocky acted as d.
rector and accOmpanist.
The floor was cleared after the con-
cert, and several hours were whiled
away in terpSichorean delights, the
music Of the orchstra being an irspi'
ration TO dancing. At midnight supper
was served In the cOmmodious dining
hall on the second floor. The Easter
ball was 10 charge Of the amusement
committee, of which Mr. (. Reister is
Secretary.
Beethoven hall was crowded to its
capacity last night. The ball was pre-
ceded by an excellent concert, which
was rendered under the direction Of
Prof. Henry J. Arbenz. One OF the most
interesting numbers upon the pro-
gramme was the chorus to be sung at
the coming Toledo Saengerfest, with
orchestra accompaniment. Mrs. Kate
Michael Fitzgerald sang Magnetic
Waltz" and was compelled to respond
to an enthusiastic encore. Miss Anna
Shaw rendered a pleasing piano solo,
and another instrumental number was a
flute solo by Mr.. Robert Seele. Mr. W..
NJ. C.emanS made a decided hit in his
singing of "Lenore and "Sweet Marie. "
After the concert several hours were
spent in dancing, for which Meister's
orchestra made the mnsic. a number,
inadvertently omitted from the pro-
gramme, was q recitation by little
Mamie Sattler, which was very cred
itably rendered. The committee in
charge Of the affair was composed Of
August Wengenroth, August Fret pert
shauser, John Sattler, john Daen and
John Kress.
One of the most successful OF the
Easter Monday concerts was that given
by the Teutonia Singing Society. The
Society, under the direction OF Prof. l..
Vaas, sang a numj. Of pleasing selec-
lions in a manner which deserved the
liberal applause received. Miss Lucy
Kronjaeger possesses a soprano voice Of
considerable strength and sweetness,
which was heard to good advantage in
her solo ''Changeless, and also in the
duet with B. Ise. Miss H. Helmbrecht
also sang a pleasing selection, and
assisted in piano duet with
her sister. Mr.. Henry Renter
sang with splendid effect-"Who treads
the path Of duty" one OF the best num-
bers upon an excellent programme.
The dancing continued until early
this morning, and the floor was at all
times filed. Mrs. James Riddle made
the music.
