sung were meritorious, and on the
whole those present Witnessed the rich

Oliver Kingsley Badgley. in their ef-
forts presented an exquisite harmony
and blending OF voices that was pleas

The banjo club. Charles Hamilton

that were highly enjoyed, and which
received a lions share OF the plaudits.
They showed technique Of the highest
order, and were compelled to respond
to number of encores.

any OF the numbers as deserving of es-
peclal mention. IS They were equally
well rendered, and to say 1t was the
finest performance Of the kind ever
given in the city sufIlces information
that the entertainment was n rare treat
and thoroughly enjoyed by those pres
