Petschnikoff, still so fresh In memory,
the concert given at the Peoples church
last night by the Boston Ladies' Sym

substituted for the one previously an

were directed by Frank W. McKee-were:
Mendelssohn's wedding march; suite by
Bendix, THE Kings Bal Masque;" the
overture to Rossinis ''Semiramide;" Ben

Cane Hop" from "Levee Revels;' IAN
Afternoon at the Races" by Lamp, and
selections from Herbert's Fortune Tell

Besides the boy soprano, Master Henry
Donlon, who sang Arditis lie Saran
Rose" and.~ for an encore, Wont You
Be My Sweetheart?" there were three
soloists. Miss c. Mabel Beaman played

orchestral accompaniment The solo was
skillfully played, but more musicianly
treatment was given the encore, a selec-
ton from Faust" Miss Oda Rudolph
played trombone solo, THE Message"
by Brooks, and Miss Florence E. Beck
EFT played a flute solo, Doppur's "Fantai-
sic Pastorale Hongroise.'
