handsome club house at the corner of
Main and Twentieth streets. The
building was ablaze with light from

club were present in force with their
lady friends. There were some very
handsome gowns in the attractive
throng on the floor of the ball room.
The decorations were simple but very
pretty. 1t was most suspicious open
ing to what promises to be one of the
most enjoyable seasons in the history
of the club.
The affair opened with concert
The Opera House Orchestra rendered
several selections, and as a matter of
course the instrumental work was be-
yond criticism. The numbers of the
singing section of the Arion were given
in an excellent manner, rejecting
credit alike upon the chorus and the
efficient director, Prof Hermann
Schockey. The vocal numbers formed
delightful feature of the concert. Miss
Cornelia E. Stifel made her debut as
a soloist, and was accorded fiattering
reception. She possesses a pure alto
voice, OF excellent quality, and much
force. Her rendition of For All
Eternity was followed by enthusiastic
applause. She also sany with Mrs.
Flora Williams the Venetian Boat
Song" Mrs. Williams was in excel
lent voice, and pleased her audience,
as she always does, in both her solos
and the duet. Mr.. Frank j. Diegmiller
contributed bass solo, which was one
of the most meritorious numbers upon
the programme.

cert and several hours were most enjoy
ably spent in dancing. Supper was
served in the dining room from 1870
until one o'clock. The affair was in
charge of the amusement committee of
