base ball games and many public

There were two games OF base ball
between the Lexington nine of this
place and the Olympia team Of the
Mill District in the suburbs of Co.
lumbis. The morning game resulted
in score OF 12 to 2 in 8 game OF
nine innings in favor Of the former
cub. The afternoon game between
the same teams resulted in a score of
IL to 4 in favor Of Lexington. In
this game only five innings were
played by reason Of the Olympia
team having to take the afternoon
train for Columbia. A large crowd
of both young and old people, male
and female went out to the ''Little
Base Ball Grounds" to witness these
games.
At the Steele cue, at his turpentine
still, there were about 400 persons
present. Congressman Lever made
an excellent address in the morning
and then went to Gilbert.
At the cue of Hammond & Donly,

The cue at Irene was a quiet but
very pleasant affair. There was
plenty to eat and everybody enjoyed

HEARD IN SONG HERE
Recital 1t the National Theater--He
Art Appeals TO Large
Audience.

Mareella SeHbrich one of the great
est song artists two continents have
known, gave a recital yesterday after
noon in the National Theater, before a
representative Washington audience, in
Guiding Mrs. Roosevelt and q party of
friends
A varied program served to display
the versatility OF Sembrich and TO bring
out all the qualifications of voice which
have placed her in such Il conspicuous
position before the music world In it
were q group Of short songs and Verdi's
familiar aria from "Ernani'
Nearly everyone who went to yester-
days coacert went to hear the Sem
brich they have known for years in
opera and later on the concert stage.
The majority of these must have been
disappointed to be brought face to face
to the fact that Sembrfch, with many
OF the other world renowned artists, is
passing.
The admirable art which has been
known 10 all her admirers sustained her
through many rough place yesterday
afternoon. and it was probably this,
rather than her voice itself. which
gained for her an ovation rarely sur
passed.
Chiefly in the .Ernani'' aria was this
/
easy one under any circumstances, but
its range is too great for sembrich
row. Her high notes were thin and
sharp and in The several runs through
out the number she lacked clarity of
tone. This was also noted in Arditi's
''Parea," which was the last programmed
number.
However, Sembrich found much in
the group of short songs to charm her
hearers. Her happiest choice was
1eoewe's '.Niernan hats gesehen.' TO
which she added a little bit of acting
which found quick favor with the au-
dience. One of the most artistic selec-
tions of the afternoon, however, was
Cuts Romance Nusse," which Sem
brica gave in beautiful style. At the
conclusion of Ler program Sembrieh
received such an ovation that she was
compelled to give an extra number, for
which she furnished the accompaniment
herself
Thomas Evans Greene a local singer
appeared in the. program. His first
number was Rossinis beautiful "Cujus
Animun. from the -.Stabat Mater
which was totally narred by the un-
usually fast tempo in which it was
given.
