The benefit concert and opera gwen
by the Tuesday Musical Club last
Wednesday evening in the Opera
House. for Miss Anna Opdahl. who is
attending the conservatory of music, in
Chicago, was very largely attended,
aud the musical feast afforded was Of
the highest order and an educator
whose value cannot be estimated. Mr..
Cone donated to the ladies the use of
the Opera House for that evening, the
light was supplied gratis BY the Wausau
Electric Co, f. Nj. James furnished the
pYnos, and the newspapers freely as
sisted in the advertising. The net
proceeds realized from the entertain
ment were $3.50, which will go into
very worthy cause, one in which all of
Wausau's citizens are interested. The
concert was an excellent Que and gave
proof that this city possesses musical
ability Tar IN excess of most cities of its
size. Travelling concert companies
could do no better, and the ladies of the
Tuesday Musical Club are entitled to
great credit for the arrangement of a
program so harmonious, so educational
and so soul-stirring. A stranger who
was present said that he was surprised
to learn that Wausau possessed such
excellent musical talent Those who
participated in the program rendered
their parts in a faultless manner, and
the several numbers were as follows

The program concluded with the
Spinning Chorus from the Flying
Dutchman," by Wagner, peasant
scene of much beauty being shown,
with Mrs Staples and Miss Reed as
principal solo characters, Miss Harger
as director and Mrs Clinton Smith as
piano accompanist. All of the mem
berS of the chorus were coStumed very
prettily in the dress of Holland in an
early day, and the voices blended
tremendously, having been trained to a
| point of perfection that produced a
musical rapture of soul. Too much
could not be said of the work of Mrs
Staples, Miss Reed, Miss Harger and
Mrs. Clinton Smith, the former two as
solists, and the latter two as director
and piano accompanist Mrs. Smith
some very difficult measures to
render on the piano, but she faltered
not and all was smoothness and har-
mony. Miss Harger's baton ruled the
wills of the singers, and the spinning
wheels kept time to the muse of song.
