at Euchre.
The annual meeting of the Schubert
club was held yesterday afternoon at the
studio In the Phoenix block. About
thirty members were present, not by any
means large proportion of the active
members Mrs. Dorr presided and Mrs.
Henry Downs aided as secretary.
In her opening address, Mrs. Dorr, the
president, reviewed the work of the
year just past. 1t had been an exceeding
ly active one, she said, for the Schubert
club. and much had been accomplished
in musical way in ST. Paul However,
though artistically and educationally the
success Of the past twelve months has
been great, combination of circum-
stances, for which the committee could
not be blamed, has caused the club for
the first time In the fourteen years of It's
existence to report deficit of $412 and
loss In membership fees of $500 Finan-
cially the club Is 5000 worse off than If
there had been no library concerts But
when the artistic and educational value
or the concert series is considered, the
club certainly has nothing to regret.
Mrs. A. c.. Thompson, in the absence
Of the treasurer, Mrs. H. s. Cole, read
the financial report which showed a de-
| felt of S227.6 SO in the Schubert club fund.
Mrs. w. S. Briggs, recording secretary,
/ made hnr for r. Oh
that the clubznow contains 227 associate
and active members. 1t also showed that
its executive board has been very dill
gent throughout the year, having held
forty-two business meetings The report
covered the many social meetings
throughout the year.

reported, and the report of the librarian,
Mrs. Dixon, was also given. The latter
showed that the library had been en-
lerged to accommodate the mixed chorus
! Mrs. Henry Downs, one of the dele
gates to the Federation of Musical clubs
held recently at ST. Louis, gave most
| interesting account Of the various ses-
| sions, business and social, which were
held during the convention. She paid a
pretty compliment to the president of the
Schubert club, Mrs. Dorr, when she ex-
pressed on behalf of the federation, the
regret that was felt over Mrs. DORIS In
ability to BIO present. st. Paul has reason
to be proud of the fact that Mrs Jessica
De Wolf, Of the Schubert club, one Of the
soioists at the convention, was the only
singer permitted to respond to an encore
The enthusiastic audience simply refused
to be satisfied without one.
There was vote of thanks given to the
members of tho executive committee for
| their efficient work and also to Mrs
Francis B. Clark for the interest she has
shown in the club and for the Gadski
| reception. Mrs Clarke was made an
honorary member
| 1t was decided to discontinue the or
| chestIa under the auspices of the schu-
| bert club. Prof. Oberhoffer declined to
| lead, stating that. the members did not
come reg ularly to practice and the work
| was criticised for ineficiency, due to this
reason. He could rot afford TO have his
| musical reputation injured on account of
/ the work done.
