DERwIN CONCERT. !
Delightful Entertainment Given
Last Night at Leavenworth Hall.


Numerous were the attractions in
this city last evening. but they had
no effect on the attendance at the
eleventh annual concert and dance
given by the pupils of Prof j. ].
Derwin at Leavenworth hall. The
local musicians were assisted by the
Schubert male quartette of Spring
field and the concert was one of the
most enjoyable ever rendered under
the supervision of Mr. Derwin.
The opening number was a selec-

ranged especially for the concert by
Mr. Abt, was one OF the most inter-
