The Saturday Club has disbanded for
the season. and other clubs, literary and
musical, will soon follow its lead. AS
the hot season grows hotter everything
that can be dispensed with in the way of
work is being laid aside until the wea-
ther is less conducive to dolce fai neinte-
ism. The Tuesday Literary Club met
as usual on Tuesday afternoon, the 18th
instant, the subject lectured upon being
'"The Civil War" This club which has
but one more meeting before closing is
ambitious, and with the election of Off
GERS for another year plans will be pro-
posed which will materially affect the
standing of the club, which has really
gained a wonderful foothold during the
short time of its existence among us.
Among other things a more suitable
name will be adopted. Mrs. T. r. Dray
was the instigator of the movement in
the beginning, and the clubs interests
are of vital moment to her still. The
membership is large, and if present
plans materialize, will be increased an
other year, while the system of club
work will be modelled after the Ebel and
Forum Clubs of San Francisco.
Mrs Moellers class recital is to take
place on June ID Mrs. Moeller is known
to have some fine material among the
voices under her efficient training, and
as it is her aim to bring forward talent
not we'll known to the public, the event
will possess an added interest in the
eyes of the public and may safely be
anticipated with much pleasure. Some
of Eae-fx XvI oh lori Mrc
Moeller's tuition and training, will also
be heard in an excellent programme
which has been for some time under
preparation.

The pupils of Miss Gertrude Gerrish
gave a very pleasant and entertaining
piano recital at Steinway Hall, Pommer
Building, on Wednesday night, the 10Th
instant. The hall, which is large, COM
modious and we'll ventilated, was beau
tifully decorated with palms and potted
plants. The chandeliers were twined
about with ivy. and between the two
pianos on the platform stood a large
floral piece of white magnolias. Miss
Gerrish was assisted by Miss Harriet
Wheat, Miss Edna Smith and Mrs. Ger
rish-Genung, and the pupils acquitted
themselves we'll under an ordeal which
every musician knows to be exceedingly
trying to the nerves, some of them being
recalled in encore. Little Anita Medley,
a tiny tot of girl, gave in a sweet child
ish treble I'm SPAIN, for which she was
rapturously encored and gave a second
selection which she accompanied on the
piano herself with her own little hands,
a sight which delighted everyone and en-
hanced the favor she had already won.
Miss Wheat was recalled after her num-
Der and sung very touchingly Good
night" The vocal duet between Miss
Pearl Jackson and Edna Smith was also
well received. The hall was well filed
with a large and appreciative audience,
and at the close of the programme
teacher and pupils alike were the reci-
pients of many congratulations on the
good work accomplished during the past
year. The programme of the recital ap-
peared in full in the Record Union"
last Thursday.
