Artists From New York and
Jersey City Delight Their
Hearers-Those Present.

Socfety's custom of private muslcaies
was successfully launched, last evening,
at the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Kent, No. IS Summit avenue. when the
Guild of the Holy Cross of St Johns p
e. Church, introduced Miss Josephine
Emerson, violiniste; M. H. Beyer-Hane,
ceIlist; Mrs. J. Bradley Tanner, soprano;
Miss Annie Lee, contralto; MIR. Emilio
Agrannonte, Jr., tenor. and Mr.. Z. A.
Huber, pianist
It was a musicale of particularly htga-
class, and a social feature about which
there was little or none OF that cold
decorum so frequently found at a concert.
Everybody knew everybody else, ere
the last selection had closed the pro-
gramme, through the courtesy of the Re-
cepion Committee, Mrs. elmer Gnderhfl,
Mrs. Elmer S. Forbes, Mrs Robert Carey,
Mrs. Harry Anaess and Miss Lucy Kent,
as well as through the courtesy OF the
ushers, Messrs Ernest Slecam, Samuel
Richardson, Adna Underhiil, James Cor
don and Marcus Coughlin.
The programme was divided in two
parts and commenced with a plano solo,
ssTaranteller' (Karganoff}, by Mr.. Emile
Huber, Of New York fame. when he

by Mrs. ]. Bradley Tanner, the well
known Jersey City soprano, in her own
charming way. Mr.. Beyer-Hane 'cellist
of the Kaltenborn Quartette. bracketed
Ca ..Berceuse, CO Fileme," and held his
audience in eager, GREATNESS silence
throughout the performance, a silence
which broke forth in resistless applause
at the conclusion.
The fourth number was a soprano solo.
sAria, Samson ct DELLA (Saint-Saens),
very sweetly executed by Miss Annie
Lee, of New York, and the fifth. a vio-
lin solo Concerto, E. Minor, First Move
ment," beautifully executed by Miss Jo-
sephine Emerson. who was among the
Jersey City artists. Mr.. Emilio Agra
monte, Jr.. the tenor of DR.. Heber New
| TOMS Church, New York, concluded part
first of the programme
During the intermission which followed
coffee frape was dainty served,
which further promoted the general air
of sociability, which reigned supreme until
the first note of MIR. Emile A.. Hubers
second piano selection, "venezia e Napoli"
i (Gonde1iera), like a magic gaxel called the
audience to the listening attitude of
silence. AS in part first, every number
on part second of the programme was en-
cored. Mrs. J. bradley Tanner's ta)
Twas April (b) IF I Were a Rose
brought forth as an encore q cute little
song about ''The Dusty Miller" and Mr..
Beyer-Hane's la Cinquantaine" again
brought forth tina surprised silence, fol-
lowed by spontaneous applause which SO
decidedly speaks success
Miss Annie Lee again sang. This time
her selection was, "Thou'rt Like Unto a
Lovely Flower and she had to respond
to an encore. Miss Josephine Emerson's
violin solo, Romance" also compelled a
response and when Mr.. Emilio Agra
monte, Jr.. after rendering 20 Salu-
taris, responded to an encore with "Yeo-
mans Wedding Song" the audience fairy
went wild.
AT the conclusion OF the programme
there was a general goodbye social in
which all expressed themselves highly
pleased, and society closed it's first pri-
waite musicale for the season of 1899 1900.
