Heard at the Concert in the Peoples
Church.

The excellent programme at the con-
cert given by Prof P. H. P. Rydning,

tied a much larger audience than II
drew. The music, both vocal and In
strumental, was of an exceptionally
high order and much appreciated by
the harmony art lovers present
Prof P. H. P. Rydning's organ So
los showed that a combination of tu-
1tion and natural talent can appeal
both to the most delicate as we'll as tho
boldest tastes. His renderings wero
good, and executions without fault,
even to the most critical. His selec-
tions included "Fantisie fur die Orgel,"
E. F. Richter; Selection From Tam
hauser," Wagner; and Norwegian Mu-
sic,' by himself
Mrs. T. NJ. Newsons contralto voice
showed finished culture in her rem
dering of Through Fairyland," and
later on in a well picked little response,
in which Cupid was the hero of the
moment.
Miss Augusta Wicklund sang ooh,
Rest in the Lord in a voice showing
both expression and force, and we'll
deserved the applause she received;
responding with a pretty little piece
entitled Dem Gamle Wise"
The "Sca ndinavian Chorus of st.
Paul. wound UP the programme with
their selection "Landkjending"
discovery Of land-under the instructor

ent state of perfection.
