ing toward making certain amendments

plication. AT last nights meeting, how
ever. there were no prOtestantS and with
the exception of President Browning all

ing wanted the franchise matter brought

upon before giving Mr.. Bamberger the
right asked for

evening was the application for fran
chise for a water system for the Lake
View addition. The matter was placed

pOrate the concessions agreed to verbally

DAMROSCH CONCERT AT THEATRE
NOTABLE MUSICAL EVENT OF YEAR

One Of the rare musical events of years
was the DamrOsch concert at the Salt
Lake theatre last evening. In the
strength of the orchestra, in the mas
terry of the conductor and in apprecia-
tive sympathy between musicians and
auditors. il was easily the most notable
event in a long period. One of the de-
partures wah the production of Arthur
Shepherds overture, "Joyeuse, which
won the Paderewski prize. 1t was given
splendid presentation and was followed
by repeated calls for Mr.. Shepherd. who
had gone into retirement in the gallery
and refused TO be drawn out
The first number was the familiar
'OberOn" overture by Weber, and its rem
dition gave a delightful fOretaste Of the
pleasures that awaited the audience. IL
is almost superfluous TO say that the
Damrosch organization is quite the best
orchestra that has been heard here with
the possible exception of the COnreld mu-
sicians; and that in the 'Oberon IT sat
isfed the most exaeting requirements in
technique. in the delicate phrasing OF the
fairy music, in the lights and shadows
of what is possibly the most distinctive
ly eeTie theme in all orchestral compost
ton.
Then came Nine de Moss in Mozarts
III re Pastore." an exquisitely simple
aria, given with a sincerity and purity of
tone that won the audience completely.
Nine. de Moss voice is not great but,
what is almost equally satisfactory, IL Is
wondrously sweet. under perfect control.

delights of the evening. offering unusual
opportunities for the singer and greatly
