EISTEDDFOD CHORUS CONCERT.
A very pleasant musical event was
the concert and reception given las
night by the members of the OgdeI
Eisteddfod chorus at the tabernacle
| The audience room was filled almost
to its entire seating capacity, and the
singers rendered the selections which
they rendered in the contest in Salt
Lake, interspersed with few other Sc
lections, and including speeches by
William Glasmann, Father P. NJ. Cush-
nahan and the Hon. H. H. Rolapp,
The speakers urged that the chorus be
made a permanent organization.
The opening number was by the
choir the selection being the contest
piece, "All Men, All Things" The
reception given this piece was very en-
thusiastic, but by request of the di-
rector, Squire Coop, no encores were
expected.
The Apollo club sang an exceptionally
fine selection, and Mr.. Josh Grant
gave a piano solo, which received a
flattering recognition in the way of APP
plause.
Miss Wehrend sang the Creole Love
Song" showing off her beautiful con-
tralto voice to good advantage.
Mrs. Claribel Ridges Pike sang
''Meditations, surprising, it seemed,
the many successes previously scored
by her in concert singing in Ogden.
The selection of the Tout brothers
was the old favorite, Excelsior" and
C. P. Ferrin captured the audience with
a tenor solo.
Miss Mamie Tout received a regular
ovation, and at the close of her aria
she was presented with a beautiful gold
watch, suspended from a badge, on
which was inscribed her name, to-
gether with the date and the informa-
ton that it was a token from the Els
teddfod chorus of 1898. After the pre-
sentation, Miss Tout sang a verse es-
pecially composed by j. B. Miller,
which was complimentary to the work
of the chorus. Squire Coop, who made
the presentation speech, was applauded
time and again.
In fact, the audience applauded him
whenever it got a chance. The con-
Guiding number was the "Slumber
Song" from Stephens, by the chorus
The chorus and a number of their
guests remained to an informal lunch
con. Before separating a committee
was elected to arrange for a reception
in the near future.
A similar programme was given in
the afternoon.
