OCEAN GROVE, N. j., August f. 1905
The appearance of Madame NordIca here
on Wednesday night brought to the Audito-

diences that has ever been inside it's doors
This was the first time that Madame Nor
dica ever remained in this country during
the summer, and for four years past Mr..
Morgan, who is an intimate friend of hers,
has been trying to induce her to appear at
Ocean Grove. Among Madame Nordicas
renditions were "Elizabeth's Prayer" Sc
renade," Angels Ever Bright and Fair"
Spring Song and the Infiammatus from
"Stabat Mater. AS an encore she sang
"Suwanee River" and the audience was
deeply touched by this selection. In closing
she sang with the Ocean Grove orchestra
and festival chorus, and the entire audi
ence of over 10000 people MY Country
IT'S of Thee There were also several
vocal selections rendered by Julian Walk
err and he extremely well received.
Among his selections We're the ''Toreador
Song" 'Lungi dal caro- bene" and 1.-TWO
Grenadiers." The affair of Wednesday
