THE BENEFIT FUND
GREATLY ENRICHED
Artistic and Financial Sue
cess OF the AriOn
Concert.

Two thousand dollars in round numbers
was added to the California soldiers re-
ception fund by the benefit given last
night at the Alhambra Theater under the
auspices of the Arion Singing Society of
New York, assisted by several kindred
organizations. This is the result of the
generous offer on the part of the music
loving Germans to help out the good
cause, and that they succeeded financially
as well as artistcally goes without say
ing.
The generous act on the part of the
Arion Society, which may well be termed
the greatest singing society in the world
to-day, met with a response in kind from
an audience which nearly filled the vast
auditorium. 1t was an informal affair
throughout. The ladies made no pre-
tence to elaborate dress, though a number
of charming costumes were in evidence.
The men as a general rule were in ordi-
nary attire and came to enjoy themselves
as comfortably as they might Those who
attended the delightful concert came be-
cause of their pure love of good music
and their honor for the brave lads who
are speeding across the ocean to be well

AS to the artistic qualities of the con-
cert, 1t is noteworthy that of all vocal
organizations a male chorus Is the most
impressive, and If directed properly it
may even assume grandiose dimensions.
always providing that 1t is formed of
good material. The New York Arion NAV
claim all the above mentioned advantages
and the result is that it's selections are
rendered with vigor and emphasis that
indorse the contention that the human
voice is the most magnificent medium by
which to transmit the art of music. They

these New York Arions, and their leader,
JULIUS LorenZ, is a graceful and accurate
conductor. In fact, accuratenesS, modula-
ton and fine shading are all executed
with exceeding care. There are hardly
any male choruses in existence to-day
that surpass the New York Arion and
there are not very many who can equal it
The San Francisco Harmonic, under the
direction of Herman Genss, proved a
strong organization. 1t was evident that
hitherto the members had not received
the proper instruction, but this first ap-
pearance under a new director showed
already vast Improvement, and there is
no doubt that within a few months the
Harmonic will have attained great re-
suits. The material is there, and as Mr..
GenSs has shown himself a capable leader
the good result is inevitable

The big land parade is growing as
rapidly as the reception fund. Nearly
every organization that has been in
vited to participate has jumped at the
chance to do honor to the returning
soldiers, and there has been a rush to
get places IN the line.
One of the most thoughtful things
done yesterday, in connection with the
returning volunteers, was the steps
taken by the citizens executive COM
mittee to secure the soldiers their old
positions when they are mustered out
Of the service. 1t is expected that their
former employers will give the commit
tee their hearty cooperation in this
undertaking.
The naval parade, it is calculated,
Will induce at least 10000 people to go
out on the bay to greet the soldiers.
The Harbor Commissioners, who are
arranging the details, have secured
ample accommodations for all who de-
sire to take the trip on the water.
The plan to decorate Market street
with palms and evergreens has proved
a much greater success than its pro-
jectors. had expected. Every city that
was asked to contribute evergreens re-
sponded with a will, and the supply
will be equal to the demand.
The San Francisco call., 1899-08-16

committees have been appointed to swell
the contributions of evergreens. Hay,

into the spirit of the affair and will do
their part

To-day Mr.. Schilling, to whom the

MAKES AN OFFER

MRS. "a. S. TOWNSEND,
who sent skyward the
4 L premiums on boxes at
the Orpheum auction sale, was
not feeling well enough
yesterday to attend the auc-
ton at the Alhambra for the
Arion concert. After it was
over, however, she called upon
Mark Thall of the Alcazar,
and with him paid visit to
Managers Ellinghouse and
Mott, to whom she made an
offer to buy all the remaining
seats in the house.
It was a breath -taker, but
when Messrs. Ellinghouse and
Mott came to they refused on
the ground that they expected
no difficulty in otherwise dis
posing Of all the seats.
Mrs. Townsend concluded
that she would make whole
sale purchases of tickets, to be
