ADJUSTMENTS.
Cornell GIee Club.

large audience braved the weather last night and attended what was among the best of amateur musical entertain ments ever offered in Birmingham. The Cornell Mandolin and Glee clubs deserve to rank among tho highest. They com pose probably the best organization of a college nature ever appearing in this city, if one may judge by the continued applause accorded them and the favor able comments heard on all sides
 The Glee club a chorus of 40 voices, made a decided hit. Their work was a pleasing departure from the usual stand ard of college musical clubs The sing ing was uniformly excellent. perfect har- mony being maintained throughout, while the drill tactics and 'Schnftzelbank specially met with universal favor. The soloists, F. E. Goodwillie. R. K. Blanch- ard, D. s. Gray, P. H. Elwood, Jr., and others, were possessed of extremely good voices and were repeatedly encored. Prob ably the best compliment that could be paid the vocal efforts of the chorus would be to state that the audience never tired, of the singing, encoring the vocal ists until hoarseness compelled them to cease
 Excellent as was the Glee club, the lions share of praise belongs to the Man dolin club. It was in reality not man dulin club at all, but well-groomed string orchestra of real merit, composed Of real musicians Auditors forgot entire ly that the music was being produced by a band Of college amateurs and listened appa rently to strains from a professional orchestra. The monotony of the usual college banjo and mandolin music was quite absent, and in its stead was the per- feet harmony and color of a skilled or ciestra.
 The conventional banjo was nowhere to be seen. The orchestra was composed of 22 pieces eight nandolns, five guitars, four violins, two cellos, a viola a clarinet and 9 flute. A. w ConSlin is leader of the club and George L. Coleman director.
 The programme rendered at the con- cert, barring a number of excellent re- sponses to encores, was as follows
