| Banjo and Mandolin clubs in the audi
| torium OF the New Masonic Temple.
| Taken according to it's precision of pro-
| duction and it's Interpretation Of the num-
| bers on the program assigned to 1t, the
mandolin club probably had a shade the
better OF the other two clubs. 1t play
| ed it's numbers carefully and effectively.
The interpret alton of Simple Aveu' was
| worthy of especial note.
But the work of the glee and banjo
clubs was. notwithstanding, Of a high
order The voices of the glee club We're
well balanced, and, barring a slight tend
ency TO fiat on some Of the numbers, made
a very favorable impression. The au-
dience seemed TO like the work of the
banjo club in its numbers of the Just
can t-kee-your-feet-stll' kind
Among the best numbers of the even
| ing were the concerted numbers In which
the members Of all three clubs joined.
| The opening Yale song, Mother Of Men,,
was good as was the Bright College
Years. used at the close. but the num-
Der which caught the audience was the
| medley of popular songs. sung at the end
of the second part Of the program. This
NUMBER called Tor encOreS.
Humor was added to the program by
the songs of the clubs quartet. composed
of NJ Minnigerode, G. S. Pomeroy, jr.;
j. NJ. Howard and c. A. Lohmann II

peatedly called back by the audience.

| words. with all Of the musical kinks taken
out, were:
IT never saw a purple COW,
] never hope to see one:
But this tell You. anyhow.
