ALARGE AUDIENCE.
An Excellent Program Given
at the Benefit Concert
Tuesday Evening.

The opera house was packed to
the doors, last evening, by an au.
dience which assembled to hear the
program given by the City band as.
sisted by local talent. About two
hundred chairs were borrowed from
the furniture stores and the city hall
which, taken with those already in
the opera house, even then did not
furnish a sufficient number to seat
the people present. Several people
In the rear Of the hall were Obliged
to stand during the entire program
The first two numbers on the pro.
gram were selections by the City
band. Both were good and fully ap
preciated. E. E. Benjamin, of Min.
neapolis, rendered a mandolin SOLO
He was encored and played couple
OF pretty selections.
Laird, Meyers and Nero gave one
OF their comic turns during the first
part OF the program. They are al
ways unique and original in Their
choice of pieces to be presented, Tues.
day evening they represented three
"hobos" which pleased the audience
immensely for a short space OF time.
Master Henry Richard rendered
one of Oh. de Binot's compositions
on the violin and responded to a
hearty recall.
The second part of the program
opened with selection by the band
entitled "A Colored Wedding" 1t
was descriptive piece which told by
music the ceremonies of a colored
wedding from beginning to end.
The piece was a difficult one and
showed careful preparation.
Mrs. c. H. Brown recited selec-
ton from Tennyson's "Dream OF
Fair Women" and a humorous poem
by Helen Grey Cone both of which
were most pleasing.
A violin solo by S. B. Benjamin
received deserved applause. He
without doubt understands his in
strument thoroughly for his playing
was excellent.
Lydia Burton, of Minneapolis, a.
young girl perhaps fifteen years old,
captivated the audience by her work
on the piano. She is a fine musician
and merited the hearty encore re-
ceived.
Roy Wakefield then gave an ex-
hibition of slack wire walking. This
was his second appearance before a
Little Falls audience and his feats
were very we'll done.
A violin quartette was one OF the
best and most appreciated parts of
the program. Those composing the
quartette were Prof. Folsom and
three of his pupils, Henry Richard,
Willie ZalOudek and Celia Staples.
Miss Madge Cornwell assisted by
playing a piano accompaniment for
several oil the numbers.
The entertainment closed with a
march played by the band.
