The recital given by the pupils of
Miss Lauraine Mead at her home.
Thursday evening, showed progress
and proficiency in musical attainments,
tlattering to the pupils and gratifying
to parents and friends. The parlors
were filled with musical friends of
Cresco and vicinity and all were de-
lighted with the musical feast that
was served. The entertainment began
with piano duet in which the Misses
Clara and Maud Rathert did them
selves much credit in the rendition of
one OF kunkel's choice compositions.
This was followed by piano solo
which Miss Genevieve Dissmore most
delightfully."- rendered to the great
qualification of all. Then came a
piano duet in which the Misses Jennie
and Sadie Thompson won the applause
OF the house as the others had done
before them. VIM. j. Mead then gave
VIOLIN solo accompanied on the piano
by Miss Lauraine Mead, at the close
OF which the applause Indicated that
the vlollnist was .scalled back,
Then came piano duet by the Misses
Bessie and Winnie Barker, one of
shuoert's best'compositions. 1t is need
less to say that its execution was
perfect and gratifying to the listeners,
Their loud and prolonged applause
at std that. Miss'Jennie Davis being
lndlsposed and unable to attepd ana
iiil her number the audience called
upon Miss Lauraine Mead to give in
that place Paderewski's Minuet which
was accordingly given and was fully
appreciated. Miss Sadie THOMPSON
then gave vocal solo Mud Pie Days.
with good expression, distinct articu-
latlon, the very essence of vocal
music. The hearty applause OF the
people attested their appreciation.
Then Miss Bessie Barker gave a solo,
Haydn's Sonata, No. IL, Sd. move
ment, in a manner that many an older
player might have envied, and was ap-
plauded to the echo. The entertain
ment closed with Haydn's Largo from
Symphony in D Major with Miss Pearl
Kicks at the piano and Miss Alice
Davis at the organ. This was given
in its perfection to the intense pleasure
OF the audience and was roundly APP
plauded. Little Miss Winnie Barker
announced the program with grace
and dignity that called forth many
words of praise.

Statement from Captain Hart.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-rhe Crown King foot ball team de-
sire to make the following statement:
The Crown King foot ball team has been
organized since the foot ball season start
ed and during that time has proved itself
the strongest. most scienced and most gem
tlemanly lot of players that ever battled
for supremacy on the gridiron hereabouts.
The game last Sunday broke up in a
wrangle, it is true; but not until the
Crown Kings did all in their power to have
the game 40 on, conCeding everything
that was reasonable.
Immediately after the ball was put in
play last Sunday until the game broke up
it was conspicuous fact that the Crown
Kings were playing too strong Il game and
were fast showing their opponents, the
Crcscents, under. After ten minutes
play. the Crown Kings secured "A touch
down and "A goal. 1t could he easily seen
afterWard that the Crescents tried all
plans to have the game broke up, so as to
have an excuse for avoiding the over
whelming defeat which they would re-
ceive The ball was punted, and in the
sculile one of the Crescents deliberately
fouled one of the Crown Kings. For this
the umpire. the chief official in a foot ball
game. allowed the Crown Kings fifteen
yards.
The umpire gave his decision without
prejudice. and the Crown Kings seeing
that their opponents would not abide by
his decision left the field. The Crown
Kings will post from s. to $50 with the
Sporting Editor of any of the daily pa
pers, and will allow the above amount
to the Crescents. if they can't duplicate
the feat of last Sunday again next Sun
day on the James Boys grounds. provid-
ing however. that the .Crescents does like
wise. The Crown Kings have won all
their battles on the foot ball field ana not
in the newspapers: so if the CresGens
mean business. let them post their money
and we will do the rest II. II. Hart
