1t was with regret that the resig-
nation of Miss Florence Colding as
secretary of the Music Club was re-
Ceived and accepted at the last meet
ing of the club. Miss Colding was one
of the organizers and charter mem
bers of the club when it was first
formed in 1896 and has been promi-
nently identified with it ever since. She
has been a member of the Board of
Managers ever since it's organization,
and during the past three years has
held the Office of secretary. Aside
from her personal interest in the well
fare of the club, she has made a most
efficient officer, and has assisted large
ly in upbuilding the club and in bring
ing it to it's present successful condi-
ton. Her services as an officer will
be missed and regretted by the entire
club.
Assisted by an orchestra under Wal

with a satisfactory reception. Her first
appearance was a complete success.

meeting, vice Miss Florence Colding
resigned. has announced that she will

Miss Jenny Osborn has recently re-
turned from abroad, where she has
spent the past few years continuing her
musical studies under the leading Voice
instructors of Europe. Miss Osborn
will be recalled as having sung here
at the theater with the Sherwood con-
cert company in one of the concerts
given in the spring of 1896 by the Music
Culture Club. As one of a quartette
she assisted to give in costume an act
from Faust" and one from Martha. -
In commenting on her excellent work at
the time. the Morning News of Feb. g.
1896, contained the following:
Miss Osborn was compelled to re-
spond twice. Not only has she a love-
ly soprano voice. we'll trained and full
of sympathy, but her beauty and
charming grace of manner quite capti-
waited her audience. Miss Osborn was
an ideal Marguerite.
Critics who have heard Zeisler since
her recent European tour say that, If
such thing were possible, she is play
ing even better than ever before Many
of them consider her greater than Car.
reno, whilst it is generally accepted
that she is fully her equal. Her ap-
preaching appearance here is looked
forward to with interest.
Mr.. Paul Stein, the celebrated 'cellist
whom the Music Club will present at a

Prince of Sigmaringen, the Duke of
Tuscany and many of the other courts
of the provinces of Germany The date

nitely fixed.
