joyable entertainments of the week.
The occasion was the concert by Sla-
toms concert club (colored) under the
auspices of the Y. NJ. c. a. They
were colored, but three or four of them
were so light they closely resembled
dark brunets.
The first part Of the program was
rendered by the chorus, followed by a
brief intermission after which the prin-
cfpal part Of the program was rendered
beginning with piano solo Concert
Waltz by the pianist Of the club. He
has a fine touch and played with great
expression.
Misses Brown and Clark sang Tell
Us Merry Birds" in a manner which
would make a hunter who likes the
sport of killing them. ashamed to own
it; it was very pretty indeed, and was
encored by the audience. Mr.. Robin
son then went through a very laugha-
bic pantomime depicting a travelling
barber shop. He used two pairs of
bones and played them to the piano
accompaniment, initiating the sound OF
sLropping the razor, shaving, cutting
hair and all the appurtenances to a
regular barber shop, all performed
with the bones.
The entire company sang the old song
Hear dem Bells" in very character
iStic manner, and IL was well received.
They also sang Put on the Golden
Sword" followed by a song by Miss
Palmer and chorus entitled Steal
Away" a very pretty religious song
rendered in a very artistic style. She
followed this by the we'll known MAS
sa's IN the Cold, Cold Ground" this
was rendered once with and once with
out the piano and so clear were the
tones, and she held her listeners so
closely, that one hardly noticed the
difference.
Next came a bass solo by Mr. Thomas
assisted by the chorus, entitled Roll
Jordan Roll" followed by a humorous
song by Mr.. Robinson and chorus, in
which they told about Joshua at the
hattie OF Jericho. This met an encore

Cradle Of the Deep" This was excel

easily. Next came an unique whistling
solo in which several different birds
were initiated 10 perfection. concluding
with a very good band Imitation. which
was encored. Miss Palmer sang En-

ner. This exhibited the remarkable
feN;bility OF her voice, every note be-
ing rendered without a break either n
tone or time She was again enco-ed
