The Hutchinson Family.

There was quite a stir Wednes

reserved seats for the Hutchin.

number of reserved seats had
been sold nearly a week IN ad.

ment provided at last for all , and
the concert came off. To say
they gave entire satisfaction
Though that is saying a good
deal here) would be but to
slightly touch on the truth.
The two lady soloists, each
sang some love songs which
seemed to have due effect on our
young men, and Messrs. E. W.
Farr, O. Hutchinson rendered
their comic songs in fine shape,
Little Bess was too cute for any
thing. The chorus singing was
simply immense.
The violiniste, Miss Louise
Taylor. deserves the greatest
credit for her wonderful playing.
She proves to the people where
ever she goes that the violin is
the ladies instrument. Her
technic is very good, and sympa-
thetic streams Of sparkling music
which will almost call a. PERSONS
soul out to rejoice. Her grace
full attitude. and volumes OF
beautiful tunes which she causes
to come forth from her instru-
ment while she stands with a
smiling musical expression on her
face will cause the listener to fall
in love with both her and her
violin. ..4. & s.. i
