HAYDN ORCHESTRA
PLEASING CONCERT GIVEN
IN EAST ORANGE.
Miss Susanna E. Dercum, Contralto, AS
sisted and the Orchestra Played
Commercially.

Friends of the Haydn Orchestra OF Or
ange were out in full numbers at the first
concert this season of that body, which
was held in the Woman's Club house, East
Orange. last night. The hall was filled
with the smart audience, many OF
whom had to stand. The orchestra
was conducted by S. Van Praag in
his usual able manner, aided by the con-
cert master, Charles Hasler. There are
forty active members in the orchestra. The
playing was excellent, for a body not pre-
f~essional. being especially so in Wiegenlie,l
by Latann, and the Polka by Strauss, the
latter being rendered pizzicato by ths
strings, with so much expression and tech
nique that the audience applauded the
musicians until they repeated it. The over
ture "Bandittenstreichen by 5uppe was also
rendered again in response to the demand.
The t'antaisie by Wagner could have been
rendered a little smoother in some places,
but on the whole the concert was a sur-
cess.
The orchestra was assisted by Miss
Susanna E., Dercum, contralto, who was &C.
com panied by DR.. Gertrude A. Walker.
Miss Dercum, who has a pleasing voice.
WAS especially good in her German songs.
Her upper tones might be improved by
using a little more pressure, but he1 low
tones were well sustained and sweet. Miss
Dercum was ably accompanied by Hr.
Walker.
