SEASON OF SONG.
The Oyide Muslin Grand Concert Fitting Climax to the Recent
 Musical Treats.

sfrraingham has become known as efsat musical center-it not only has re- nowned musicians of it's own, but 1t appre- ciates those who come from other cities. This musical feature of the city Is largely due to the Mendelssohn club, which IS composed of ardent and enthusiastic mu- sicians and lovers of the divine art. It was this club that gave large and cultured audience such a rich treat at Seals' music hall last evening". It induced the Oyide Musin Grand Concert company to pay Bir- mingham visit, and this visit was highly appreciated. This famous concert com- pany has visited Birmingham before and tire audience anticipated splendid music, and it's anticipations were more than real ized. Although Birmingham might be supposed just at this time to be satiated with music, yet the audience enjoyed the concert with the keenest zest. Each mem Der of the com pauy is an artist and each number was encored, and as often was the recall responded to graciously and will iugly. And it was observed that the en- cores perhaps received more rapturous ap- plause than the regular numbers on the programme.
 Following is the programme that 50 de- lighted the audience: Waltz, E Major (Moszkowski)- )-Edward Scharf.
 Air from "Samson and Deilaho (Saint- Saens)-Bessie Bonsall.
 Caprice No. 1, first time, (Musin)-Ovide Muslin.
 Waltz, for soprano, from "Romeo and Juliet,'' (Gounod)-Mrs. Annie Louise Musin.
 Air from "Semele" (HaendeD-F. w. Elliott.
 Bolero, for soprano and contralto, Saint Saens)-Mrs. Annie Louise Musin and bes- sic Bonsall.
 Rhapsodie No. uiszt)- Edward Scharf.
 Duet, for soprano and violin, tHerold)- Mrs. Annie Louise Muslin and Ovide Musin.
 Duet from ssTrovatore" (Verdi) Bessie Bonsall and F. ". Elliott.
 (a) serenade, first time, (Pierne); tb) Valse De Concert, first time, lMusin)- Ovide Muslin.
