4 Musical Treat.

The rarest musical treat local music
lovers nave enjoyed in many day
was the SkOvgaard concerts Friday af-
ternoon and evening. Skovgaard. the
violinist. is an artist and his support
in the persons of Miss Elenore o.
son. the mezzo soprano, and Miss
Christene Nelson, the pianist, was
excellent. Skovgaard plays with an
ease, Il softneSs of touch and with all
technique that is marvellous. He has
the power Of arousing in his hearers
all the passions the various subjects
masterpieces of his own nOrthland
musicians. he is especially at his best.
Miss Olson, the soprano, demonstrated
this feature also in her singing, for
in singing her rendition of 1.-The Noun
tain Song" and "MaidenNy) Thoughts"
she more than charmed her fellow
countrymen and they recalled her
again and again. Her voice is mag
nificent, of wide range, and possessing
sympathetic timbre that is delight
full to the musical critic. She was
splendid in the Lullaby" from the
opera "Joclyn." by Goddard, and was
given a rousing encore. The accom-
PIANIST. Miss Nelson. possesses a
pleasing touch and follows either sing
err or violinist with harmony of feel
ing that Is most pleasing to the we'll
trained musical ear Her solos were
highly complimented. In her stacotte
movements she plays with a delicacy
and lightness that in some measure re-
minds one of the tinkling OF the dainti-
est of silver bells

parations are being made to make this
a great success. The decorations will
be elaborate and in the class colors.
Cut flowers and bunting in abundance

Rarely do our local music lovers
have the opportunity Of hearing music
like that furnished by the Skovgaard
Concert company This company gave
two concerts here in the First Metho-
dist church on Friday. The afternoon
concert was not SO well attended but
there was good audience for the
evening. Skovgaard is one of the best
yiolinists ever heard here. Miss
Elenora Olson, the soprano has a mag
nificent voice. She charmed her own
countrymen last evening with her
rendition in Norwegian of the "Moun-
tain Song" and Maiden (ly) Thoughts"
and was repeatedly recalled. The
piano accompanist, Miss Christene
Nilsson is especially deserving OF men
