BowDoIN 6LEE CLUB.
The annual concert given by the Bow.
dom alse, Mandolin and Guitar clubs at
the Y. NC. A. hall, Wednesday evening,
surely was deserving Of n more EXTENT
ed notice than we were permitted to give
In Yesterdays issue, because OF limited
space.
The audience was an Inspiration TO any
body of musicians. 1t was large and
representative Of cur most fashionable
society.
How delightfully."- the guitar and man.
dolin clubs Interpreted their numbers.
The quality of tone was good. there was
precision In the attacks, q delicacy In
phrasing, hardly to DO exfestsd In ANA
teurs.
Lemieux's Serenads was exquisitely
rendered and We warmly note the splsn-
did effects produced In the "Passion"
waltz. In every movement they were
well directed by Mr.. Cobb. His leader
ship was indeed excellent.
While 10 occurs to Us, local pride was
touched by the work OF Francis welch on
tuo NloilIts WAo Wao W AtASbsseAss WV
companied on the piano by Frank L.
Rankin. Mr.. Welch's "Rsrcsuss" was
admirably read, while 5humann's "TrAn-
neral" WAS . gen, Of Its kind.
MIR. John Appleton showed marked ver-
satility. The audience could hut laugh.
at times almost immoderateiy, excusa-
bly, 90, however, over his rag time selsc-
-. r.lonhrnn -
an elocutionary effort was worthy OF q
star
Not small contribution to the enjoy
mint Of every body was the work OF Mr..
Willard. He sang In q style which de-
ssrvedly won for him q recall.
The warmest words of praise are due
the Glse club. an aggregation of well
balanced voices. They appeared to excel
lent advantage In their college songs
such as "Phi CHI and "Bowdoin
Beats" Their voices blended harmcni-
ously and "Sisep. Kentucky Bsbs. :" not
less perhaps than other numbers which
might he mentioned, will lingsr as
pleasant memory of an evening most en-
joyably spent by every listener.

SAG HARBOR.
A little incident occurred one night
upon the stage of the Park theatre, Bos-
ton, during the performance Of "Sag
Hsrbor," which will be seen here on the
nights OF Friday and Saturday and Sat-
udray matinee, at the Jefferson; illustra-
tive of oalinness and mastery while every
one about Is under excitement. In the
second act when thu Syracuse champagne
is brought upon the stage by Hosea Ste.
VEINS, with which to drink the health OF
the hetrothed couple, Ben Turner and
Martha Reese, Forrest Robinson aud
Julie Herne, a comedy scene ensues
wherein much ia made of drawing ths
corks from the bottles. The cork which
Is drawn BY Hosea, aided with large
corkscrew, comes with great difficulty
and large explosion, while Mr.. Herne,
as Capt. Dan Marble. has joking line
about pulling the cork from his bottle
with his fingers and at great ease. On
this particular night the cork in
Mr.. Herne's bottle was extremely obdu-
rate and absolutely refused to come. OF
course Mr.. herns could not speak his
line, and every body. depending ABSOLUTE
iy on the cue, commenced to get nervous
as the audience Uttered In the discovery
that tbs obdurats cork was making
trouble with the scene. MIR. herne deft-
" extricates himself and the mpany
from the accidental exigeuoy by ssizing
the oorkscrsw from Mr. Robinson and
pulling the stupid cork from It's socket.
changing his line to read: "B'goshi
/ thought could pull the durn thing
with my fingers, Hossa, but guess l
Jest fooled myself Q little this time"
This smoothsd away the trspidAtion OF
this company, and heartily relieved they
went on with their scene TO an sppreeia-
tive burst Of applause from the audience.
This seems like httls thing. to be sure,
and 1t was; but smaller things than this
with q vast audience Watching svery
slightest movement and expression. 10
enough to tAngle scene into hopeless
snarls, unless met In this way BY GOODNESS
and quick pressnos OF mind.
RICE'S COMEDIANS.
