Although the precipitation was not

No notice of any rain was given by
the local weather bureau and according
to their prognostications there should
have been no rain whatever. If Hat

1T WAS A TREAT
Much Enjoyment at the Jean de

Niuht


The concert given by Jean de Chau-
venet last evening was pronounced by
those who heard it as treat. The pro-
fessor distinguished himself by his
virility and repose, never being senti-
mental. Chopin's Funeral March"
was played somewhat wierdly and
pathetically, bringing forth, as it did,
the thoughts of death itself. More
pathetic it was when Uruchurutu, the
blind rosindolinist, played Answer" on
his one stringed instrument and the
string broke when he was almost
through.
M. jacquard Auclair made very
favorable impression with his flute
playing and touched the hearts of all.
Mr.. Neville, the violinist, played the
First Sonata" by Beethoven with much
pathos, while much temperament was
shown in the heavier passages.
Master Leo Donke, the boy prodigy.
who is pupil of Prof, de Chauvenet,
received an encore and played "Salut
Pesthe" with much effect. Altogether
the concert was enjoyed by all present
and held the attention throughout.
