MUSICAL AFFAIRS.

The Philharmonic Club ave a very en-
joyable concert last evening at Plymouth
Church to a fair-sized audience. The club
is not SO large as when last heard, only ff-
teen young men being IN evidence. Except
for the usual strident effort of the tenors to
drown out the lower voices, which the
bassos. as usual, failed to permit, the club
did very we'll, and responded readily to the
baton of it's director, Mr.. Edward Nell. The
club began its programme with (a) Calm Is
the Lake" by Abt, and OBJ Dance of the
Gnomes," by Mcdowell. The latter is a
very difficult number. requiring a knowl-
edge of the chromatic scale. which some of
the singers failed to appreciate, and some
of the tones were not sufficiently separated.
The second number was a banjo solo,
"Quick Step" by Mr.. Z. D. Mason. Mr..
Fred Powell sang a the Dawn by Can
tor. Mr.. Charles Hansen came next with
a suite for the organ, (a) Morning by
Grieg; (b), wedding Music.' Op. "a. by
Jenun, and (c), Spring Song" by Men
delssohn. The audience applauded so heart
lily that Mr.. Hansen responded with the
beautiful minuet by Bocorini. written In
1868.
The Philharmonic Club appeared for the
second time in a Vocal March," by Brack-
EFT, which was well sung. 1t was we'll for
the club that the march was in F, for the
organ point made by the street sweeper
which passed at this time assisted the
bassos in maintaining their lower note. Had
the sweeper been keyed to another pitch 1t
would have been impossible for the club to
have held its own. In this connection
1t would be well TO suggest that the city
officials be made cognizant of the disturb
ance made by STRENGTHENING machinery
when passing public places OF amusement
and the nuisance abated. Miss Georgia
Calvin sang the beautiful soprano solo. He
Is Good, He Is Kind" by Massenet, with
much feeling. Mr.. Frank Taylor followed
with the eyer-welcome aria, She Alone
Queen OF Sheba.' This was well received,
and for an encore he sang Meyer-Helmund's
'Margarita-" In the next number, Thou
Art Like a Flower by Liszt. the club sang
Miss Calvin, which was done with much dis
cretion and a regard for the soloist that the
audience appreciated. Mr.. Nell was too
hoarse to sing, and Miss Keller, of this city,

bers for violin, ta), '.Nocturne," Nc. 2 by

responded with-a bow. The audience was
more gracious and continued Its hand

violin soon brought 1t TO silence. The soul

Miss Theresina Wagner, pianist, gave a
recital last evening in the small audience

reading and was recalled after the Ruben

years. The public had never seen anything
