The free musicale at the 8, z.
academy last evening conducted by
Miss Ottilie Maeser, for the Philosophical
society, was most pleasing and sue
cessful affair. In spite of the storm
the house was filed to overlooking and
the audience was delighted with what
it heard. All OF the numbers, though
some were not entirely beyond criti-
cism, were excellent The first on the
program, a boys chorus, was very pretty;
next followed a most excellent song.
1.-THE Vacant Chair admirably and
most sweetly sung by Ruth Wilson,
daughter Of d. A. Wilson; a violion |
and piano selection rendered by Pro-
fessors Giles and Partridge was very
pretty thing: Nellie Boyer's reciting
was indeed most finished. W, D. |
Roberts, ir sang at his best; the other |
artists all did we'll and the sentiment |
on music by Professor Rydalch at the |
close was mastery effort and appro-
pirate and timely talk.
CHARLEY KARRENs, citysmarshal of |
Lehi, is in Provo today. Mr.. Karrens |
is highly offended at the remarks made
by certain Utah papers, including THE
DISPATCH, concerning him and his
family in speaking of the sad accident
that befell his daughter Edith in Salt
Lake few days ago. He speaks Of
Amy attorneys" in such a way as to
impress one that he intends brindine
a fewlibel suits.

ledge receipt of a complimentary inyi-
tation to attend a select Students
party to be given at the opera house
next Friday evening under the auspices
OF the Philosophical society of the B. Y.
