SPLENDID PROGRAM ARRANGED.

A Crowded House-Artists VIII.
ing to Participate.

The musical event OF the week, II not
OF the season. will be the concert to be
given In the Tabernacle on Friday night
next, in honor of the retiring presidency
OF the old Salt Lake stake. The testi-
monial was evolved from a very geneT-
al sentiment that something should be
done by the Saints Of the old organiza-
tion in appreciation of the long and
faithful survives, and unfalterlng devo-
ton Of the stake presidency.
The matter was taken up by the off,
GERS OF the four new stakes, who allot-
ted tickets to the Bishops Of the various
wards. Some of the wards have al
ready sold out and are making de-
mands for more, so that the outlook for
large crowd and a thoroughly enjoy
able time, is quite promising, The ad-
mission viii be 25 cents for adults and
10 cents for children. a price that is
easily within the reach OF all, and will
enable the promoters of the concert to
do something substantial for those in
whose honor II is given.
The artists who will appear upon the
program, have all sgnfed marked
willingness TO respond, and before the
week is out 1t is highly probable that
others will be added to the list, making
the concert one of the very best ever,
given In the large Tabernacle The
program begins at s15, and among
those who VIII appear are the Taber-
nacle choir, II. c. Easton, Willard
Weihe, John j, Mcclellan, Arvlla
Clark. Walter A. Wallace, Lizzie Thorn
as Edwards. James Squires and the
Imperial quartet. There will also be
speeches and presentation during the
evening.
