Referring to the fremont Quartette,
which will appear at W. J. Ryan's bene-
tit concert, Oct. II, the Worcester (Mass. }
Gazette says:
''Encores were the rule rather than the
exception, and after the sixth number on
the programme the quartette was called
out three times in succession before the
audience was satisfied. The singers re-
sponded with good grace to these de-
mands, and kept their auditors In good
humor. The quartette showed remarka-
bic ability in individual singing, and
the many difficult parts which were
! brought out last evening were rendered
with surprising skill and unity OF
