Gold Medal Awarded to A. T. Lejeal
of This City.


The Musicians Club gave a concert at
Sherman & Clay Hall last evening which
was OF great Importance 20 the musical
cult OF San Francisco, inasmuch as its
programme consisted. with the exception
OF one number. OF local compositions.
The purpose Of the concert was 70 bring
out two string quartets which were writ

Musicians Club something over a year
ago. They were sent for examination 10

Charles Z. Pemberton OF Los Angeles
The quartets were played In a mastery
manner by the Minetti Quartet. Mr.. Le-
jeal's composition created somewhat OF a
sensation among the musicians present
and must be considered a work OF art.
Its character is OF the buoyant class and
It's rhythmic quality gives II quite a cheer
full tone. 1t consists OF four movements,
each OF which Is worthy OF praise.
Another very. able composition was a
romanZa for piano and violin by GiuliO
Minetti. executed by HotheE Wismer and
Fred Maurer Jr. 1t Is an emotional work
and quite apropos 10 its title. The criti-
cal audience present was 80 well pleased
with this work that an encore was de-
manded. Among the songs were three lit
