Jubilee Concert.

The Original Tennesseans delighted a
fair sized audience in @. 4. r. hall, this
city, Tuesday evening, with jubilee
songs, quartettes, seXtettes and solos.
Every number on their program was
pleasing, and every effort received an
encore, the singers responding gener-
ously to each recall. The company is
made up Of combination of good
voices, the only criticism to be offered
being that the songs on their regular
program bad practically al been given
at former engagement in Grand Rap
ids. The response to encoTes, however,
more than doubled the length of their
program and thus gave to those present
all that could be expected. Miss Neal
G. Hawkins, soprano, is deserving of
special notice as sweet singer, while
T. B. Waring, tenor, is droll character
that kept the audience in smiling mood
throughout the evening. Those who
were not in the audience at the Jubilee
concert missed real nice musical treat.
