THE CARDOWNIE CONCERT
4 GREATSUCCESSA AT YARNER HALL
 LAST EVENING.

Ain Appreciative Audience Present-
 Various Artists Were Repeatedly En-
 cored-The Cnrdownie Trio in Na- | tionnl Dnnces Score Big Hit.
 The grand Scotch concert given at l Warmer hall last night for the benefit
 of Miss Louise Cardownie, whose father
 was accidentally drowned in Lake
 Whitney was one of the best that has
 be given under Scotch auspices
 in many a long day. The calibre of the
 Scottish concerts are known to be of
 the best at any time, and it is certainly
 great credit to all the artists who took
 part to know that they eXcelled in mer-
 1t anything ever before attempted. The audience was a good one and exceeding | ly appreciative, and those who were ab-
 sent lost a treat that they will regret. The committee in charge of the enter
 tainment wish to publicly thank all of
 the artists who so kindly gave their ser- vices gratis for the occasion; also the Loomis Musical company, for the use of
 the piano for the occasion; w. B. Moyle,
 the eminent tenor who was indisposed,
 was unable to sing, but his part was admirably taken by Frank Hamilton.
 The quartet comprising Miss Katherine Murphy, Miss Williams and Messrs
 Haley and Hamilton, under the direc-

Stormont, received quite an ovation for their excellent rendering of the part songs on the programme, while Miss Murphy scored a decided hit in her rendering Of With in a Mile of Edinboro Toon." Her in terpretaion of the Scotch was almost perfect, and her appearance at future Scottish gatherings may be taken for an assured fact The same praise may be meted out to Joseph Criddle the we'll known baritone. Mir. Criddle's inter pretation of "Jessie's Dream" and Scots Wha Hae" would have done credit to thorough born Scottish art ist, and she certainly should be a favor ite at big Scottish gatherings to come. Mrs. Mary McLay Logies recital of "An Easter With Parepa" was executed with a finish that proclaims her among the best of the local elocutionists Frank Hamilton's solos were rendered in his usual fine style, and were loudly applauded while his whistling solos were encored and encored again and again. The Cardownie Trio, on making their appearance, were roundly applaud ed. The entertainment of national dances was decidedly new and made record hit. The various dances were cleverly executed, especially was this | the case in the sword dance by Miss Cardownie, which fairly brought down the house. The Irish jig in character by Miss Jessie Bowman and Miss Brac- chi was also q clever piece of artistic | work, and was enthusiastically receiv- | ed. The last on the programme was the | Highland fling by David c. Mather, | champion of Scotland, and John G. | Henderson. the well known local expo | nent of Highland dancing, was another | taking feature, and deserved the hearty | applause it received. The bagppe play ing by MT. Mather, who holds the championship for reel and strathspey's was another feature of the programme. 1 Both of the latter artists appeared in | full Highland uniform costume and had | their breasts covered with bold and sil- yer medals won In many competitions the world over. Charles S. Stormont was an efficient accompanist. The sue cessful gathering concluded with the singing of Auld Lang Syne by the com pany
