SOME MUSICAL NOTES.

Last evenings excellent concert
the Carroll Club auditorium large
and representative musical audience,
ard the programme for the last
concert of the second and present sea-
son was given in a manner which well
maintained the reputation of the Or
ganization. SO far as this club is con-
cerned, the musical season is ended,
and whether or not there will be a
continuance of the organization and a
third season rests with a meeting of
those Immediately interested, to be
called by Prof. Schockey at future
time. That continuation will be then
determined upon is the earnest wish
of all who take an interest in music
Of the best class. and who desire to see
the perpetuation of the best quartet
Wheeling has ever possessed.
The first part Of the evening was de-
voted TO the quartet number proper,
beginning with the Schubert Quartet
in G minor, artistically carried through
its four movements. The two shorter
numbers following were a Barcarole by
Zitterbart and The Prayer, by De
Kontski. These were interesting be-
cause arranged fer the Quartette re-
spectively by Professor Edward Blu
menberg and Miss Flora Pollack. mem
bers of Musical Wheeling. The read
ings were complimentary to the ar
rangers. After the intermission, an
exquisite Beethoven trio, Opus II, was
magnifieently given, with Professor
Schockey at the piano, Professor
Blumenberg, violin, and Mr.. Meyer,
cello. While it will be readily realized
that each instrument was in the best
possible keeping. the piano work Of
Professor Schockey is deserving Of as
high a tribute of praise as can be
spoken, both for the trio mentioned
and the beautiful violin and piano duet
which closed the evenings programme.
Professor Blumenberg's violin work in
this number was worthy the piano ac-
compartment it received, and its en-
thusiastic reception proved that the
master work was appreciated. 1t was
with a feeling of sincere regret that
the regular Philharmonic deyotees left
the building, realizing as they did that
the efficient management of the past
two seasons gave over on this evening
their charge, with no positive assur-
ance of any successors and that the

Tomorrow concert by the
Woman's Musical Club, at the Opera
House, should by no means be for
gotten by lovers of good music. The
Register has heretofore referred, in
not excessive terms of praise, to the
merits of both the club and its pro-
gramme, and has dwelt upon the un-
doubted merits of the soloists, Mrs.
Serena Swabacker and Miss McMur-
ply. Both ladies are artists in the
fullest sense of the word. and their
rendition of the Numbers allotted them
will prove this beyond the possibility
of question. The Opera House shoula
be crowded tomorrow evening.
