which such an extraordinary announcement
might be supposed to arouse. Those who
have followed the careers Of these three ar

of their standing in comparison with other
great masters Of the piano, violin and ;'cello.

The Apollo Club concert to be given in the
Lyceum theater Monday evening under the
direction of G. A. Graninger promises to
rival in general Interest, that of any of its
predecessors for the past seven years. The
program Of club numbers is decidedly one OF
interest and the selections are of every con-
ceivable color, and range from grave to gay
and from classical to so-called popular. One
of the most beautiful numbers Of the pro-

Netherlands. After much bloodsaed William
of Nassau finally meets the foe at the for

are put to flight never to return. Freedom

All the other club numbers are as inter

for chorus and male quartet by Mendelssohn
entitled ITO the Sons Of Art the sentiment
Of which is
