LEHIGH UNIVERSITY USICAL
CLUBS.-The musicale given at the New
Willard last evening by the Glee and Man
dolin clubs of Lehigh University, while not
an absolute success financially, was, from an
artistic point of view, almost without a
fault. The numbers were we'll chosen and
rendered with a finish which showed care
full training and reflected great credit upon
Mr.. Paul p. Reese, leader of the vocal or
gan.zation, and Mr. ]. NJ. Daniel, jr, leader
of the mandolin club The program opened
with the Lehigh Alma Mater by the two
clubs ensemble, which was excellent. Each
of the organizations gave several pleasing
selections, but the feature of the evening
was vocal quartet, composed Of Messrs.
P. P. Reese j. E. Sheesley, r. G. johnson
and H. r. Tracey who sang several humor-
Gus songs and made a decided hit. Mr.. E.
r. Morgan rendered Homage a PAmite''
on the violin, and Mr. F. j. Potter showed
that he thoroughly understood the mando-
lin. baritone solo by Mr.. P. P. Reese
wonderfully clear voice of fine quality, and
his song received several encores. The
clubs are on their annual southern trip, and
Will play In Charlottesville and Lynchburg,
Va; Winston. Salem and Chapel Hill, N c.,
and Danville Pa.

Mrs. Shade sang all four French songs
delicately. The English songs were also
pleasing. The offering from Dinorah was,
the most pretentious number Of the even
ing, and displayed all the f1exibility, poise
and lightness Of Mrs. Shades clear So
prano voice.
Miss Stevens. who is becoming widely
known as the first violin Of Mr.. Lent's La
dies String Quartet, performed the prize
song from the Meistersinger with crafty
ing precision and strength. The difficulties
of the score had manifestly been carefully
studied and overcome and the emotional
requirements were adequately met.
