WAS "A GRAND SUCCESS
The Congregational Concert Thursday
Evening was Pine.


| There was no doubt about the sue
cess Of the concert given at the Con-
gregational church Thursday evening.
1t was all that could have been desired.
1t was admirable in every way. The
crowd that turned out to hear it filled
most of the available seats in the large
auditorium, and made the receipts OF
the affair one of the most gratifying of
the evidences .ot success. The audi
ence liked the music as was shown by
| frequent and occasionally prolonged
applause. The choruses and Prof.
Jacoby furnished the best numbers,
but every number was good and richly
deserved all the applause bestowed.
The program opened with a chorus,
g The Crusaders This was sung by
a mixed treble quartette under the
able direction of G.. R. Mcdowell. 1t
was very entertainingly rendered.
Then came the piano duet, Inciden-
tai Music to Henry VIII, !" by Mrs. S.
G. Newman and Fred Newman. The
piece was pleasingly played.
The climax of the program was
reached when Prof. Jacoby played the
/" Seventh Air Variation" of De Beriot,
on the violin. His music was simply
grand. Mr.. Jacoby is remarkably
good violinist, and displayed very good
taste in the playing of the piece. His
execution it clear and strong. The
violin responded to his touch as
though it was thing of life. He had
to respond to most hearty encore.
Miss Curtis sang" By the Fountain, y
in good form, and Miss Camilla Rey-
nolds made her debut in The Flower
Scene from Ingomar." She handled
the piece very well, and she, too, was
obliged to respond to an uproarous
applause.
One of the cutest things Of the even
ing was the violin solo by Josephine
Jacoby. She is very little girl, but
she showed that age furnishes no better
reason for good music than childhood.
She is a splendid little player, and
surprised the audience by performing
so we'll on the violin. She, also, was
obliged to respond to hearty applause
The chorus came on again and sang,
Tramp Ger Moss and Fell" Mr.
McDowell's master hand showed itself
again. The obligato solo was sung by
Miss Belle Head. The whole was SO
we'll rende ed that an encore was
necessary to satisfy the audience.
Miss Agnes Slosson rendered a piano
solo, and Miss Reynolds read "a
Study in Nerves." This reading was
just as pleasing as had been the first
and an encore was necessary again.
Next came vocal duet by Messrs.
Davis and Baldwin, entitled Lost,
Friendless Pilgrim from Martha" 1t
was first tenor and first base song,
and was very pleasing.
Fred Newman was obliged to come
back second time after he had played
the Dance Bretonce" by Bachman.
Both pieces were very lively.
There was slight disappointment
in the last number Of the program.
There was to have been baritone
and cornet duet by Messrs. Barr and
S. c. Newman, but owing to Mr..
Barr's having been taken sick it had
to be replaced by duet by Messrs.
Louis Yeoman and Newman. They
played admirably, and filled that part
of the program almost as we'll as the
original number had intended to.
Mrs. Hollister was the occompanist
of the evening. She always plays well
and Thursday evening was no excep-
ton.
The audience was we'll pleased, and
departed with the feeling that they
had been highly entertained.
