TENNEssEEANs SING WELL
Concert at the Auditorium Very Enter
tanning Affair.

The concert at the auditorium last
night given by the Tennessee Jubilee
Sipeers'' was one of the most enter
tanning affairs that has been in the city
for some time. The house was almost
entirely filed, a few seats in the rear or
the house only being left unoccupied.
The audience was composed of the best
people of the city who are lovers of mu-
sic and the higher class of entertain
ment, and to say that all present en-
loved themselves cannot be understood
unless one was there. The audience
had nearly all gathered when the cur
tain arose and the program began. The
first number was a piano solo, followed
by the opening chorus, which was Wen
received by the audience. Following
thisT came quite a number of jubilee
songs. all Of which were fine selections
and exceptionally well rendered. The
way they were appreciated by the au-
dience was shown by the fact that ev-
cry selection was heartily encored, and
was either partially repeated or sub
stituteG Icy an extra selection, which in
one or two cases also were encored.
Part two opened with a piano solo,
which was well received. The male
quartette next appeared and rendered
annie Laurie in an entirely new man
ner, and it had to be repeated. This
brought fourth a second encore, when
they sang Simple Simon" This also
was encored, then they gave the imIni-

simply set the audience wild, stopping
