opportunity given TO hear four such
artists IN one evening as Mr., Goddard,
Mr. Welhe Mr.. Mcclellan and Mr..
shepherd When 90 their united
strength the big Tabernacle choir Is
added as "a back ground, surely the

Every other number on the program
was OF the rarest degree Of excellence
The novelty Of the evening was duet
between Mr.. Mcclellan and Mr. Shen-
herd on the grand organ and piano.
This pleased the audience so we'll that
they had 10 give a second number am
