YALE CLUBS CONCERT.-The Yale
Glee and Banjo Clubs gave one Of their an
nual concerts at the National Rifles Ar
mory last night. The audience, though not
large, was a fashionable and appreciative
one. The performance in some respects
was the best ever given here by college
men. The concert singing was superb.
While less attention than usual was paid to
solos on the program those which were
given were of a high standard of excel
lence. Mr.. T. B. Clarke, jr., carried off the
honors as soloist. He has a we'll cult
waited bass voice, and sings with much feel
ing and expression. He was recalled again
and again and responded with the utmost
good humor. R. A. MCGEE, the other So
lolst, sang the Bedouin love song with fine
erect He also was repeatedly recalled and
gave, among other pleasing numbers, the
standard college humorous lay of Romeo
and Juliet with some surprising and orig
inal variations. The banjo clubs perform
ance was quite up to the generally high
standard of the entertainment. The pro-
lows: Hands Across the Sea - by the
banjo club; Brave Mother Yale, by the
glee club; "Italianischer Solat," by Mr..
Schneeioch and Aub; Suburban Lay" by
and banjo clubs. Part second opened with
"A Hot Time in Mobile" by the banjo
club: -" "A, Little Knot of Blue" by the glee
sn Simmons and c1h by Mr.

tsatures OF the whole entertainment was
the negro melodies sung by quartet, con-
sisting of Messrs. Baker, Ellswo rth, Clarke
and Lyon. They, too, had to respond to
numerous recalls. Part third consisted of
she rBedouln Love Song" by Mr.. MCGEE

WATKIN-MILLS RECITAL TONIGHT.
SO close upon the rendition of
the Messiah in Washington the recital
OF song at the Universalist Church by Mr.
r. Watkin-Mills tonight has added interest
for local lovers of fine music. Mr. Mills
has long Since been yielded the first place
In oratorio, having won distinction in that
class of work. His voice adapts itself so
easily to the tremendous demands of such
roles that much of the difficulty of those
parts IS lost sight of, yet when they are
attempted by less capable singers one very
readily finds excuse for the singer at ey-
pense of the score. The great charm in
Mr.. Mills singing is in his artistic repose,
his clear enunciation and the evident love
and enthusiasm which he has for his art
and which never fails to electrify his au-
diences. The seat sale is open at Guzman's,
in Drops music house.
