AT the High School.
The Mendelssohn Male Quartette
pleased a large audience at the high
school last evening. The audience
showed its appreciation by heartily en-
coring every number. The quartette
numbers we're especially good, 1.-THE
Lost Chord" by Sullivan Baier, and
''Ah, have Sighed to Rest Me- from
I'll Trovatore," being among the best.
The duet, Love and War" which was
to have been sung by Mr.. NeWhall and
Mr.. Barnett, was omitted, and a quar-
tette number substituted, as Mr.. New
hall was not in good voice.
Miss Augusta Grimm, the reader who
accompanies the quartette, is i'll in Gin
cinnati, and her place was filled by
Miss Mary Cross, of Cleveland to the
great satisfaction of the audience. Her
first reading, pathetic little piece,
called Bobby Shafto" was by far the
best, though her humorous selections
were very pleasing. Miss Cross ap-
pearance is greatly in her favor; she is
small and petite, with much personal
magnetism.
coin Newhall, first tenor; Maldwyn
Evans, second tenor; Howard Stewart
Barnett barytone; Urban Leo Alkire,
basso.
