a Great Chora! Event.

Next Friday evening, June 18, is
the date of the grand concert to be
given at Turner Opera house by the
Milwaukee a Capella choir. The choir
consists of 250 trained, expert, mixed
voices, and will be assisted by several
notable sOloists. There is not to be
found in all this broad land a chorus
superior to this organization, and its
director, Prof. William Boeppler, is
accountable for its present high
standing and the marvellous brilliancy
and perfection it displays. The sue
cess of the choir is almost phenome-
nal and it is considered by competent
judges to be above and beyond all
possible attempt at rivalry in its speci-
fc territory.
There are perhaps few men to be
found like Prof. Boeppler, who brings
to his labors not only a supreme musi-
cal talent of a particular kind, but also
the knowledge and determination that
to step outside the bounds of that
talent might exemplify the old-fash-
ioned proverb of ''falling 'twixt two
stools" The result of this we'll re-
strained ambition and judgment has
been a success absolutely unprece-
dented and unrivaled for the director
and his superbly equipped and drilled
choir Consistent and concentrated
effort and utilizing a specific ability
have in this case certainly created an
enduring reputation.
The concert next Friday night is a
great event for Watertown and all
who enjoy an evening of song will not
fail to attend. The attraction has
been secured at enormous expense and
we hope to see this effort to provide
something of real merit duly appre-
ciated. Reserved seats are Is cents,
on sale at Gamm's drug store.
