Prof. Barber made the talk 30 very
interesting that the hour and half
devoted to it and the views was all too
short. At the close the warm thanks Of
the club we're offered the speaker for his

This is the second open meeting OF

oratorio music has been arranged. and
anyone will be welcomed to the recital
on the payment Of 10 cents.
The meeting on Monday was devoted
to the study of the symphony and Ave
Maria.
Mrs. Doane described the growth OF
the symphony in an interesting paper.
It's form was illustrated by \ movement
from Schumann arranged a. q piano

Three examples Of the Ave Maria were
sung; solos by Miss Grace Reynolds and

Mrs. Campbell.
The latter number vas prefaced by

silverite she handled gold as il she was
not averse to its use and her paper wae
most entertaining. Mrs. Rowland had
ashort paper on tho ~Gold Fields Of the
Rockies" and gave some incidents Of a
miners life in Cripple Greek. Mus
Gass invited the club to take an imsgir-
ary trip to Klondyke but most Of the
members were inclined to turn back
when they met the difficulties which
she described most graphically. Mrs.
Davis gave short talk on the old "Over-
land Trail" and Mrs. Wise read paper
on the 49ers, which contained many
pathetic incidents Of those who p rilled
their lives and those of their families in
the mad rush for gold. The Methods
OF Mining" by Mrs Herold was much
enjoyed, the subject being new to many
Of the club. Next Friday evening Art
will be the topic for the evening and it
is expected Mrs. Snyder will make this
as always, most entertaining session.
The May Festival 30 successfully in.
augurated last spring by the Matinee
Musicale, is to be repeated this year.
Most gratifying replies have been re-
ceived from all the Nebraska towns which
sent representatives last May. and they
are delighted to again CO operate with
the Lincoln club in the advancement of
musical interests.
The Festival will consist OF three con-
certs, on the evenings of May 3rd and
4th. and matinee on May 3rd.
An artist OF national reputation will
be secured for the second night. The
members OF the club will sell season
tickets for the three concerts.
An unusually fine chorus is expected,
the Omaha chorus OF one hundred voices
and lesser numbers from Granl Island,
Fremont, Hastings, Columbus and York
being among those to participate. Other
towns will also send soloists.
The visitors will be the guests of the
Matinee Musicale and its friends.
1t is hoped to make the affair an art
istic success, and though the club must
not incur financial loss, money consider
