was devoted to fine concert. every
number of which was heartily ap-
plauded. Dudley Bucks beautiful sere-
made, SIN Absence" was finely rendered
by double mixed quartette and was
one of the choicest numbers on the
programme. Messrs. Skillins and Hatch
fairly outdid themselves and their Jug

neatest turns ever saw on any stage. The
Apollo Male Quartette rendered several
selections in fine style, as did also the
Astican quartette, composed of cornet,
trombone and two saxophones. The

the gem of the evening and was heartily
applauded. Mr.. Clark responded to an
encore. The other numbers of the
