The above programme was given with
much excellence before the members of

at Thompson hail last night. At the
general federation of musical clubs 1t
was decided than an exchange should
be carried on between the different
musical clubs OF the country This was
one OF the first OF the good results Of
this plan. as the ladies taking part in
the concert are members OF the Ladies
Musical club of Topeka an OTga1iZa-

full There was not a poor number Of

quartet and the solists all proved them
selves TO be accomplished musicians.
