The concert at the Metropolitan Theater
last evening for the benefit of st. Paul's
Church fund was we'll attended, and
probably yielded a neat though not
large, profit. The programme was carried
out as published i'll yesterdays
RECORD UNION, but one number
being omitted. and that because
of sickness. EXigencies of space forbid
review of the programme in detail, which
was one of excellence. In fact, it demon
strated anew that in our own midst we
have excellent musical material for a
most pretentiOuS concert effort, effort su-
perior to not few boasted and lauded of
the imported order. Without intending
by omission to reflect doubt as to less
merit in any mum ber, we cannot let so
superior ali entertainment pass without
record of the work of a remarkably fine
quintet of voices that gave a selection
from "Lucia'-MI. and Mrs. kinross,
Mrs. Hawley, Mr.. Cohn and Mr.. Crocker.
The audience was exceedingly emphatic
in its manifestations of approval, and sue
ceeded in having the singers repeat the
number. Miss Murrels, the dramatic
reader, frequently commended in this
y
impression. and SO gratified her hearers
that, instead Of one recitation, she was re-
quired to give three. The concert was
under direction OF w. II. Kinross; c.. j.
Dunster was piano soloiSt and accom-
PIANIST of the evening, and George Franz.
the viOlinist, twice played the obligato TO
vocal solos.
The Young Ladies' Institute. No. II,
at Turner Hall last night had their
wooden anniversary party, and it was
proof anew that when the ladies take full
charge they are adopts at managing a
party. There were over one hundred
couples present to celebrate this fifth
anniversary Of the founding of the order.
The hall was decorated in keeping with
the conceit of the title given TO the party;
shavings were the chief articles used, ana
they were so disposed as to produce
very happy effect and elicit the admira-
ton of all. There were StreamerS of cam
brio, to which were attached wooden
shavings, and these odd festoons ue-
pended rom the corners OF the hall and
were caught at the center chandeliers,
where baskets made of shavingS and
trimmed with smilaX and ivy were sus-
pended. The letters ''Y. l.. l., fashioned
out Of the wooden curls, formed pretty
piece and redwood shavings surround
Ing the electric light globes gave deli
cate tint to the light. The party was a
great success, and the members of the
order were showered with compliments.
