ELkg OUTING A SUCCESS.
An Evening Of Excellent Music at the
Casino
In Wheeling Park The Grand Army
Band and Local Soloists Delight
an Audience of About a Thousand
Persons-The Programme Which
was Rendered.

When the B. P. O. Elks ignored the
representation of weather prophet
Hicks and decided to celebrate their an
niversary during a storm period there
were many who had misgivings as to
the success of the outing which was
planned for last evening. 1t did rain
during the afternoon, and the sky wore
an ominous look during the entire day,
but the enviable reputation as enter
tainers which is enjoyed by the Elks
Offset the unpropitious weather, and a
oongenial throng of thousand persons
assembled at the Casino last night.
Most of them went out on the special
w. & E. G. motor leaving the city at
1880 o'clock.
The lodge provided an evening of
music as the celebration of its twelfth
anniversary. The Grand Army Band
of Canton, Ohio, Emil Reinkendorff di-
rector, furnished the instrumental num-
bers. The favorable criticism which
preceded this superb musical organiza-
ton was not an exaggeration. The
band more than satisfied the audience,
which was composed of representative
lovers Of music, The programme fol-

The selections were diversified in
character and served to display the
scope of ability of the band. The
bravoura effects were especially pleas
ing, but the musicWas all of an eXcep-
tionally high order, and quite beyond
criticism. If any numbers were to be
selected for especial mention the de-
scriptive piece, "Old Kentucky Home"
and The international Congress" are
entitled to that distinction. 1t is sell
dom that the playing of popular mel
ody arouses such enthusiastic applause
as followed the bands rendition Of
"Old Kentucky Home" and the Songs
Of All Nations"
Miss Mamie Grub was given warm
reception by the audience. This was
tribute to her charming personality,
but the applause which followed her
singing of Sacred is the Weeping"
was a generous recognition and appre-
citation of artistic merit. Miss Grub
has established herself as a popular
favorite with lovers of music. She re-
ceived some handsome flowers last
night
MIS-. Milton Hanauer made her 1lrst
appearance before a Wheeling audience
as a vocal soloist and made very IA
vorable impression. She possesses a
soprano voice which, while not strong,
is sweet and well modulated, but better
adapted to smaller halls than the
Casino.
The trombone solo by Mr.. Lee him-
norman, a member of the Grand Army
band, was enthusiastically applauded.:
Mr.. H. w. Hughes was never heard
to better advantage. He was In excel
lent voice and his selection was admir-
able. II was sung in a spirited man
ner. and the full, rich tones fell upon
appreciative ears. II was understood
that no encores were to be responded
70 hut so determined was the audi
ence in its applause that Mr.. Hughes
was twice compelled to bow his ac-
acknowledgements.
The accompanies were Prof. Her
