SOME MUSICAL NOTES.

The first public concert given by the
Woman's Musical Club the present sea-
son took place yesterday afternoon at
A. o. U. w. Temple, and was well at
tended by the active and associate
members of the organization and their
lady friends, despite the fact that the
DAY was not an suspicious one. There
was a lamentable and noticeable alb
sence of gentlemen-a fact which is
TO be deplored, as the programme was
one appropriate to the season, and was
exceptionally well rendered by the
ladies assigned to active participation.
The programme was rendered as pub
lished by the Register, except for one
transposition of numbers, and every one
taking part reflected credit not
only upon the Club, but upon them
selves individually, demonstrating
anew the fact that the organization has
crystalized within itself the best OF the
musical talent for which Wheeling is
Justly famous. Mrs. Ewalt, Miss An
ME V. Sage, Miss Theresa M. Phillips,
Mrs. Nellie Egerter-Faris, Miss Flora
Pollock and Miss Sue Caldwell all bore
conspicuous part in the success OF
the event, while the chorus, under the
direction of Mrs. Flora Williams, was
fully equal to the assignment given.
1t is to be regretted that there cannot
be a larger public recognition of the
really excellent and always conscien-
tious work of this organization, for 1t
is. and has been, doing much for the
advancement of the cause OF music In
this city, and deserves the largest en-
enlargement.
Yesterday, at the music rooms OF the
F. w. Banner Company, limited
number of persons had the pleasure OF
listening to a brief piano recital by
Miss Huff, of Washington, Pa, who
has but lately returned from Lelpslg,
where she has pursued musical study
with the most satisfactory results.
Miss Huff left for home on the early
afternoon train, but there is a reason
able expectation that she will be short
ly heard in this city before much
larger audience than that which greet
ed her SO cordially yesterday.
TIL management of the Woman's
Musical Club has under consideration
a formal public reception during the
month of January, but it is learned
the details have not quite been de-
cided upon. Should it take place 1t
will doubtless BRING together not
able gathering of lovers of music and
friends of this sterling organization.
