SECOND BENEFIT S0nceu.
The second OF the benefit concerts
was given at the Church Of God Fri.
day evening, and was fully up to the
standard attained by the performers
at the first one given last Wednesday
evening.
The bringing together Of eight
men, forming a double male quartette,
was something entirely new to our
city, and when we remember that
they are all business men, and coDSe-
quently unable to come together for
practice, and when the difficult char
acter of the music is considered, we
must congratulate these gentlemen
on their success, and trust they will
appear again before Plymouth audi
ence.
The piano duets by Mrs. James Nc
Donald and Miss Deemer and by Miss
Hoham and Mr.. Stahl were each ex.
tremely fine.
The vocal trio by Mesdames Thayer.
Armstrong and Brooke, was a sacred
number-"I wiz lift up mine eyes,,
and it would be difficult to ind three
voices that could more clearly bring
out the fine parts of the selection they
gave.
Hahn's college quartet, consisting
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hahn, Miss Vogel
and Mr.. Senour gave too numbers on
the program, and the audience was SO
we'll pleased that they were obliged to
repeat "Annie Laurie" before they
would be satisfied. This quartette
shows the careful and efficient work
OF Prof. Hahn. and whenever they ap-
pear We can assure them hearty well
come by their hearers.
! Mr.. Stahl, who has been connected
with Hahn's college for the past few
years, surprised more than one in the
audience by the richness of his voice
and the perfect control he has Of a
wide range of tones. He responded
to an encore which delighted bis hear.
ers- Mr.. Stahl has already attained
a degree of excellence both with the
piano and voice that is reached by few
people, and we predict for him brill
liant future in his chosen profession.
Who would have thought a year
ago that dan, Senour, only a school
boy, possessed such a voice. Its safe
to say that never in the history of our
icity has the rich fullneSS OF his voice
been excelled. We congratulate Mr.
Senour, and hope he willkeep on with
dis music study, and let his voice be
heard often.
One of the sweetest and most charm
ing voices to be heard anywhere is
possessed by Miss Vogel, and "Toil
and Rest" was SO clearly within her
compass that all were delighted.
The audience was SO eatranced by
the excellence of Mrs. Houghton S
voice. that although she sang ''a" and
10" numbers. the applause could not
J be resisted and she was compelled to
repeat one selection.
Captain Wilson was at some disad-
vantage inasmuch as be was CON-
PEELED to drive up from Culver and
only arrived after the concert had be-
gan, making it impossible for him to
practice SO as to have his violir In ac-
cord with the room or the piano.
Notwithstanding this he showed that
he is master of hischosen instrument,
; and the audience applauded him to
the echo, and will be pleased to hear
him again.
Taken all in all the concert was a
grand success, and every number being
Of the highest class Of music, requiring
? labor and much ability on the part Of
? the performers, and we praise escf
one for the degree Of excellence attain
ed. The church win clear in the
neighborhood Of 800 BY the two con
fcerts.
