do especially good work in the drama
His character is blotted out early, but
not before lie has had time TO impress the
audience with his capacity for very good
work.
AT the Congregational Church tonight
the Sacramento Lecture Association gives
the last OF its season entertainments, hav-
ing engaged for that purpose the cele-
brated Mendelsshon Quintet Club, which
has four times appeared here, and always
with success. The present composition

by it in concert before. Perhaps that in
which il won most credit was 1.-The Tar's
Song," by Hatton. Certainly the club
achieved distinct success and proved
itself capable of tine work. Mr.. kinross
directed with characteristic skill. ''The
Sacramento Trio" Messrs. Cohn, Kidder
and Crocker, was very happy in its
effort. Its number was a gem, but
the audience was not content with
that and twice recalled the singers. Mr..

the evening, has never sung better. His

greater sweetness and more feeling than
