Those on Program Handsomely En-.
tertained Large Audience
Ball Later.

Judging from the encomiums hear,
on every side the concert at tie cour
house last night under the auspicc
of the Womans Board of T.ade wa
one OF the most thoroughly enjoyabl,
affairs ever held in Santa Fe. Near
ly every seat in the court room wa
occupied despite the inclement wealth
er and the audience was as enthusia7
tic as it was large Encores were th,
order Of the evening and the program
was stretched to fully twice its orgi
nal length.
1t was a representative gatherin!
of the society and musical folk of thu
Capital. Matrons and maids wer,
there in handsome evening toilets, al
though it was not intended that i
should be formal affair. The cour
room proved to be admirably adapted
for the musical entertainment. ant
its appearance was greatly enhanced
by a profusiOn of floral decorations
Every member on the program was
heartily applauded and nearly all o
the performers received bouquets from
admiring friends.
The concert last night was the sec
ond of a series of entertainments Civ
EN- by the Woman's Board of Trade
for the purpose of raising funds for
the new public library. The members
Of the finance committee were unable
to tell today exactly what the net re.
ceipts are, but it is estimated that
the proceeds will be in the neghbor-
hood of one hundred dollars. The
next event under the same auspices
will in all probability be another ball
to be held during the meeting of the
Territorial Legislative Assembly in
January.
Miss Adelaide Franz, of Las Vegas,
a sister of Mrs. E. A. Fiske. was the
bright particular star Of the concert
She is a pianist of great ability whose
musical education has been supple
mented by five years of study under
leading masters in Germany. Most of
her selections were of classical ma
ture and by well known composers.
She played with the finished technique
and grace that comes only after con-
tinued study. Her execution is well
nigh perfect and she injects into her
playing the soulfulness and spirit of
the true artist
Miss Virginia L. Bean, of Duluth.
Minnesota, who is making her home
temporarily in this city, made her de.
but last night in local musical circles,
and shared with the others in the ap.
plause. She is violinist of more
than ordinary ability and her violin
solo was rendered with such fidelity
that she was called upon for an en-.
core.
Mrs. E. c. Abbott surprised and
delighted the audience with her reafS u
ings. especially those who had never
heard her recite previously. She has
the dramatic talent and charming per.
sonality that go to make the success.
