Lyric Club Gives Recital.

In the presence of an audience whose appreciativeness quite balanced It's nu- merical diminutiveness. the members of the Selma Lyric Club last evening gave their second public recital Gauls canta- ta The Holy City" was rendered in an excellent manner and the performance Is regarded as the finest exhibition of anna teur musical talent ever given in this ciyt
 The club was trained by Dr. Hodge who is not only a master musician, but the possessor of a remarkably fine tenor voice. His solos were among the features of the evenings entertainment. Dr. Hodges careful and efficient work was patent especially in the chorus of eighty voices, chosen from the best of Selma and trained and practiced for weeks. But in- deed his genius was everywhere evident.
 It would not be fair, however, to attrib- ute all of the success to Dr. Hodge for he had fine material and the members of the club have taken much interest in their work. The soloists and the mem bers of the chorus are a credit to the city and indicate a remarkable abundance of musical talent.
