the program. No patriotic American
could have failed to be delighted With
Mr.. Noyes toast, Americas Cup" The
class to which Miss Dawley the new
member, belongs, are called the Patri-
OTIS, and she gave an interesting ac-
count of the readings pursued in the
last four years by this class Miss Vir-
ma Woods filled the position of toast
mistress in a manner that left nothing
to be desired. Her remarks were much
enjoyed and appreciated.

it to be hoped that there will soon again

| The first meeting of the Saturday
Club, held yesterday afternoon in the
Y M. c. A. Hail. at Fifth and ] streets
was eminently satisfactory. The SONG
recital given by Miss Alma Berglund
! soprano soloist, was the first Of series
of artists recitals to be given during
the year, and if it be an earnest OF
what the future holds in store the
members of the Saturday Club have
every reason to congratulate them
:, selves upon being members. Miss
Berglund's program was artistic in Sc
: lection, in arrangement, in rendition
! She possesses highly pleasing voice
at times delightfully."- sweet and tender
J and, what is far more rare, a musica
intelligence besides. She has good ex-
ecutiOn, good enunciation, a power 1ol

voice, but musician. What could
say more? Although recalled enthusl
astically many times, Miss Bergund

gram, declined to respond, except in
the case of 'Shouggie Shou, MY

much better has she done since the las
time? But I think I may be permitted
! to make an exception in the case o.
yesterdays accompanist, Mrs. Pommer
who so ably met and abetted MIS-:
i Berglund in her efforts to produce art
istic effects. We applauded the sololst
| and deservedly, but much of our an
! plause was for our own talented menl
