An Evening With Sullivan.

The audience:at the Eighth Members Con.
cert OF the Y. M. c. A., given in the Auditorium
yesterday evening, were treated to pleasant
entertainment, consisting of excerpts from
works by the composer of "Pinafore." Robert
Lloyd was the conductor and F. Dellepiani &C.
companied
The concert opened with the singing of some
of Sullivan's best-known songs, such as "The
Lost Chord" "My Dearest Heart" Robert
Lloyd and other local singers being the
vocalists. Several favorite hymns, set to
music, were then rendered, and the evenings
closed with vocal excerpts from "Pinafore, y
'Iolanthe," .Ruddigore" and the "Mikado."
The idea of giving sullivan" evening was a
very good one, but there was certainly poetical
Justice in the fact that in a programme sup
posed to represent the English composer, no
excerpt was given from 1.-The Light of the
World" Years ago Sullivan turned from this
class of composition because there was more
money in comic opera, and now it appears he
is Judged by his later and inferior works.

the Mercantile Library by the ladies of the
Auxiliary, at which the chief feature was the
San Francisco debut of Miss Lillian O'Connell
of New York City, a young elocutionist who
has won considerable popularity in the East.
Miss O'Connells performance did not dis
appoint her friends, who had promised the
audience treat. Both her tragic and her
lighter declarations proved to have such
power to move and thrill the hearers that she
was overwhelmed with demands for encores.
The other performers were Henry Larson, Miss
Mabel Love, the Misses Sherwood, Miss Jessie
eKlopstock.and Miss Marie Hyde Kelley.

effectively.
