Tho audience was made UP OF the beet
people OF Houston sociaily as well az In
regard to culture. The fame OF the musical
conservatory of the college has gone abroad
and the audience was a critical one.
burst Of applause greeted the pretty
group OF white rohed maidens who make
up the college orchestra and the two ae-
lectcns given were much enjoyed Bou.
quets poured on the stage after this nnm-
Der, as well as during the following por
