singers, before large audience. All
day there were evidences on every
hand that the singers were happy and
they scattered to the pleasure resorts
of this vicinity. The Frohsinn took
a steam boat ride, and other Chicago
societies and the United Singers OF St.
Louis enjoyed carriage drives over the
government island and went through
the arsenal and shops. The Daven-
port press took the visiting newspaper
men, in number over a score to Black
Hawks Watch Tower.
Last evening the mass chorus sang
four NUN bers, and Hans Balatka pro-
nounced it the best as well as the
largest chorus ever assembled in the
west. The Harmony society and the
Harugari Liedertafel of Chicago sang
as societies. the former singing Wal

"Morgem i'm Wade by +. Hegar.
Both were enthusiastically received.
Similarly warm was the greeting ac-
corded to Mrs. Ida Hemmi and Will

Pauline Woltmann, of Rock Island, the
soloists.

their health.

to look for repairer. Sometimes he
succeeds, and many times he fails.
1t largely depends upon what kind of
repairs are necessary. If it is your
