COMMENCEMENT CONCERTS.
Grinnell oratorio Society Give Two In
teresting Concerts.


Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, June 10.-The annual COM
mencement concerts under the auspices
of the GrnneH Oratorio Society were
given yesterday in the Congregational
church. The weather was perfect, and
in spite of many other important meet
ings held the church was we'll filled
for both concerts. The afternoon con-
cert consisted of miscellaneous pro-
gram of the highest order. Among the
artists who appeared Genevieve Clark
Wilson carried off the honors, while
the appreciation shown the others was
scarcely less enthusiastic than that
which she won. The Riedelsberger-
leighton string quartet opened the
program with two charming selections
from The Beautiful Miller Maiden, by
Raff. The quartet has not had the
advantage of extensive practice as a
unit, but in spite of this fact all its
selections We're given with refinement
and true musical expression OF the best
type. The first violin, Carl Riedlsberg-
er,. is a violinist of great technical abil-
ity and interesting temperament, and
his work in the quartet was especially
commendable.
Mr. Riedelsberger also played two
violin solos, a set of Hungarian Dances
by Nachez In the extremely weird
and difficult works Riedelsberger
showed his masterful technic. and what
is more than technic. his ability for the
passionate expression which the inter-
pretation of these works requires.
The vocal numbers on the program
were given by Holmes Cowper and
Genevieve Clark Wilson. Cowper was in
splendid voice, and sang Handefs IA
nous aria from Jephtha, WAIT Her,
Angels" Cowper has sung twice be-
fore in Grinnell, with the Rosenbecker
Orchestra, but his voice seemed to
show to better advantage without the
large volume of orchestral accompan-,
iment.
Mrs. Wilson sang with great effect
a group of three songs, by German.
MacDowell, and Brahms.
Much of the success of the afternoon
program is due to the splendid accom-
panying furnished by Dudley l.. Smith,
of the Grinnel School of Music.

Warned Too Late.
1t was believed that when the warn
ing was given that the levee had broken
many families in cottages awoke only
when it was too late to escape. The
levee workers who laid down to rest
on the embankment, worn out with
hard labor, are said to have been
caught in the flood and drowned like
rats. Before the break occurred, D.
II. Sherwood, John Koolish, and three
children lost their lives by the over
turning of their boat. Everything OBJ
tainable is being used in rescuing peo-
pie IN the second stories of the dwell
ings, in the submerged district. The
naval militia of ST. Louis and Alton
are rendering valuable service in res
cuing and transporting them to places
of safety, and guarding the levee
against depredations by the horde o.
negroes and buns. The flooded dis
trict in East st. Louis is mile wide,
south from Broadway, which runs east
and west and divides the city in two
and four miles long, and includes the
Second and Third wards. 1t is known
as Illinois Town and Denver Side.

made, and the submersion of the en-
tire city will be almost inevitable.

Musical Recital.

Last Saturday evening occurred
the first public musical recital
of the season. As usual with
these recitals, the chapel was
filled to overlooking. The pro-
gram was not only interesting
but highly educational as well,
especially since it contained such
compositions as Mendelssohn's
Rondo Capriccioso and the Haydn
Sonata No. z.
Each number was we'll rem
dered and was of genuine musical
interest. This is all the more
noticeable when it is considered
that none of those who appeared
in solos were artists, with the ex-
ception of Miss Agnes Love.
The o. A. c. orchestra of IL
pieces rendered the opening num-
Der with splendid spirit and en-
semble. The composition was
by our local composer, Ruthyn
Turney, whose talent is not con-
fined to the violin alone, as his
work in the band and orchestra
will go to show. Among the
violin pupils, Miss Kerker ex-
celled tor technic, Mr.. Kerker
for tone and Master Max Miller
for courage in facing the audience
tor the first time with 50 difficult
composition. Master Miller is
only IL years of age.
Tne Ladies' Chorus elected
the warmest applause with Shil-
ling's arrangement Of the Blue
Bells of Scotland.
The piano solos of Miss Sproat
and Miss Hawk, of Philomath,
were delivered in splendid style,
while Miss Ranney's selection
deserves special mention as it
was performed from memory.
The last number On the program
was Mendelssohn's Rondo Cap
riccioso, which was rendered with
consummate skill by Miss Agnes
Love. Miss Love is already an
accomplished pianist with super
ier technic and Interpretation,
and her future may be looked
forward to with interest. He1
repertoire comprises many of the
leading works Oh piano.
