~HAYDNCLUB'S CONCERT.
One of the Finest of the Sea-
sons Entertainments In
First Presbyterian
Lecture Room.

The Haydn Instrumental Club gave its
third soiree musicale last night In the
lecture hall of the First Presbyterian
Church before an audience that thorough
ly appreciated its performance. The mem
hers of the club re:-Dr. Julius Peters.
violin, director; Henry Harrison, violin;
Richard II. Schmidt, viola: John Lange'
~violincello; Alexander Buechner, double
bass; Arthur Small, flute; Robert T. Dale,
clarinet and Charles Schlegel, piano.
These gentlemen were assisted by Mrs
Talbot r. Chambers, soprano Mr.. Carl
Millington, tenor, and Mrs. Frederick 9.
Bennitt, a~ccompanist.
The opening number on the programme
was the overture from Mauritania" Wal
lace, by the club. This was beautifully
played and showed a careful study and
artistic comprehension on the part of the
performers that justified the listeners in
anticipating a delightful entertainment
The promise of the first piece was full
filled in the subsequent numbers, all OF
which were so rendered as to call forth
genuinely enthusiastic applause.
DIR. Peters gave the second selection,
''Canzonetta'' by GODDARD. 1t seems
almost unnecessary to say that the IN
depreciation of this piece was scholarly
. and the execution artistic. 1t suffices to
say DIR. Peters played up to his reputa-
ton.
A tenor solo, Mascherine's "Eter-
namente,s by Mr.. Wilmington, with violin
o~bligato. by DR.. Peters, came next. Latei
Mr.. Millington gave Because of Thee
Tours. In each case he was applauded
The club followed with the minuet from
Haydn's military Symphony" and was
rewarded with the recognition due to a
lovely piece admirably played. Mrs. Tai
bot Chambers now sang Should He
| Upbraid," by Bishop, with much feeling
| and excellent execution. She was oblige
to respond to the applause in this case
as in that of her second selection, Spring
Tide" Becker, to which Mr. Lange play
ed a %violincello ~obligato. Mrs. Bennit
played her accompaniment and those OF
the other ~soloists.
But without doubt the hit of the even
ing was Mr.. John Lange's violinceil'
solos. He vas on the programme for
composition by G~oiterman, his rendering
of which resulted in a veritable ovation
| from the audience and IN enthusiastic
bravo" from one of his confreres. III
gave as a recall Godard's "Berceuse,' AM
if he would have continued to play in
definitely the audience apparently woult
have been quite satisfied.
A paraphrase of R~ubenstein's melody II
F won fresh laurels for the club, who's
next appearance was in a brackets
piece (a) .'Entr' act Gayotte' OBJ sLoil
de Bal" both by Gillett. These last com
| positions were delightfully."- rendered, ex
hibiting the delicate execution of whicl
the players are capable. Besides the.
were the sort of thing that appeals t
everybody and So the audience cried TO
| more and got it in a cradle song by Latan
This was given without the piano. Tn
next number was a serenade by It'll TO
| violin, DIR. Peters; violincello, Mr.. Lange
and piano Mr.. Charles Schlegel. The in
termezzo from Delibes' ballet Malta" b.
the club, closed the concert in SO charm
ing a fashion as to make all who hear,
it hope for another entertainment in tn
| near future.
Much of the evenings success was du
to the accompanies, Mr.. Schlegel an
| Mrs. Bennitt. In the clubs selections tn
playing of the former was noticeably fine
Altogether it may safely be said that 81
delightful a concert is rarely heard in thi
/ city.
