The annual concert and sommer-
nachtsfest of the Arion Society at
Wheeling Park last night, was one OF
the most delightful entertainments
given at that charming resort this sea-
son. One Of the secrets Of the success
Of the larger affairs given by this or
ganization is the judicious placing OF
the invitations, which always insures
the presence Of a congenial crowd, and
the absence Of the disorderly element.
So It was last night, and so It has al
ways been in the past. The Park
proper was lighted by electricity, and
the enclosure was made bright by vari-
cOlored lanterns which were suspended
from the arches and other points about
the grounds.
The concert in the Casino was the
principal attraction during the early
evening. The Opera House Orchestra
played a number of selections in It's
usual almost faultless manner, and ac-
companied the choruses which were
rendered by the society. Other instru-
mental numbers were a flute solo by
Nj H. 3. Grimm, and violin solo by
Prof Ed Blumenburg. Both were eX-
quisitely rendered, and received with
many evidences Of appreciation by the
audience. OF the orchestral numbers
the selection from Little Christopher
was perhaps the most pleasing.
The singing section Of the Arion rem
dered two choruses, and the Columbus
cantata, a really excellent number,
with solos by Mrs. Flora Williams, and
Mcssrs. II. p and Frank J. Diegmiller.
The AriOn double quartette sang very
creditably die Nscht" by Abt.
Mrs. Flora Williams was in excel
lent voice Her rendition Of villa
nellie" was a gem of artistic excellence,
admirably displaying the purity and
strength of her voice, and her splendid
technique She was enthusiastically
encored, and sang q very pretty ballad.
With Mr.. DiegmiIler she sang in Ger
man Il Feel Thy Angel Spirit which
was so warmly received that both werd
compelled to repeatedly bow their ac-
acknowledgements.
After the concert the orchestra took
a position on the veranda and played
promenade music while the floor of the
Casino was being cleared for dancing.
This popular diversion was INDUCED in
until the last motor returned over the
W & q. G.. road after midnight. The
committee was composed Of Messrs.
Aug. Schneider, VI. Koyolan, Harry
Ritter, Geo. 3. Diez, II. Paul, Chas.
Woeber, Joseph Kurtz, and L. Lare.
