BRENNAN BUDGET.

Brenham. Texas, September o. The only
thing necessary to the complete success
and full enjoyment OF the summer night
CONCERT for the bepe6t Of the Brcnham lire
department given under the direction OF
Mrs. j. d. Campbell Friday evening was
the failure for any arrangement for heat
ing the grounds, winter having stolen upon
us while yet in the midst Of the series of
concerts and but for the excellence of the
program arranged, we doubt II the audi
ence would have remained shiyoring In the
cold night air. The band program Friday
night was unusually good, every selection
gem and an appreciative audience heart
lily applaudcd each number.
The eornet solo by Mr.. Pier Day was
highly complmented by Il number OF those
present
Come Where the River Winds" rendered
by the quartotte, Messrs. Miller, Holland
Campbell and league, was an appreciated
number. They rendered the selection in
good voice and were heartily applauded.
The piano duet by the Misses Gross was
well rendered these charming little ladies
being expert musicians.
Miss Van Lauingham. late Of Kansas
CEy, but at present teacher of clocuton
In the Chappell Hili female college, favored
the audience with reading OF q pretty
love story OF n Shaker village the easy
stage presence, the clear cnuncdtlon, so
that the entire audience could follow the
pretty story from beginning 10 end was
abundant evidence of Miss Van Lanins'
hams ability and the enrapturcd audience
heartily encored the number to which she
responded with another selection almost as
good - the first.
The Fuet by Mcssrs c. II. Carlisle and
Tom Holland, insisted In the chorus by
Mcssrs. II. G, Miller, T. :. league and j.
u. Campbell was one OF the most pleasing
numbers on the, Proglaln and wPs heartily
the generous applause.
THE Ladies' QraNette" by Mesdames
Iockett, Luhn, Sehuerenherg, Carlisle
Hurcher, Lewis and Grace Gardner, was
a pretty selection well rendered and heart
lily enjoyed by the audience.
Miss Kathryn Carlisle was down on the
program for recitation, but being absent
from the city, Mr.. and Mrs j. j. Camp
bell and Mr. r. II. Holland ana Mrs.
George WlllHms furnished a song instead,
which was well rendered and heartily en-
jOycd by those present,
Every selection on the program, which
was a long one considering tho uncomfort-
ableness OF the audience ont In tho open
cool night air, was good one, and MIS-.
Campbell deserves great credit FOR the gen
eral excellence of the program, for It was
q frequent comment That the program was
one OF the best OF the season,
