Meeting of the Excalibur Club.
The meeting of the Excalibur club
| that was held last night at the home
| of w. ID. Willard, was not only a
| very ENJOYABLE affair but also very
very enthusiastic gathering of the club
members, about twenty being present.
The first part of the evening was
given over to games and contests. Mr..
Willard instituting an examination of
the senses in order to decide whether
the boys were eligible to membership,
game which proved to be very
jolly on.
The officers for the coming year,
elected at previous meeting, are Wal
ter Sanborn, president; Everett Dodds,
vice president; and Willard Washburn,
secretary and treasurer. The work
committee are President Sanborn, Gil
bert Fletcher and Waldmar Scherer, iE
whose charge is the years program.
1t is probable that the club will con-
tinue the study of city business. as 4
council. 1t was voted to change the
night of meeting to Wednesday night
and the first regular meeting will be
held one week from next Wednesday,
Sept. 20. 1t is also probable that the
Stub will give ono or two plays during
the winter.
Indications point to this seasons
work as one of the most successful in
the history of the club, as there is
unusual interest in the membership
and also in the work This is Che
sixth year of the Excalibur club and
it is going to be up to the usual high
standing.
The Organ Recital.
The organ recital at the Swedish
Lutheran church last night was a
success. Professor Oscar Frey of La
Crosse, Wis, has surpassed by far all
anticipations of the audience. He
played every number of the program
with the most perfect skill.
Professor Frey is yet young man
of only thirty years, and has therefore
yet a great future before him. He is
known mostly throughout Wisconsin
and Illinois. At Milwaukee and Chi
cago he also distinguished himself as
a great musician. He will hereafter
no longer be a stranger to the peo-
pie of Mankato. 1t is hoped that he
will soon come to Mankato again
Next Friday Professor Frey will give
a recital in his home city where peo-
pie never grow tired of listening to
every recital, and they are many He
will render one at st. Paul also. The
selections of both the Swedish choir
Miss Norgren, directory, and the male
choir of the German Lutheran church
(Mr. Fl. Frey, directory, besides the
bass solo rendered by Mr.. A. Ingwal-
son, were highly appreciated.
