The production of the Wedding
Feast from Coleridge Taylor's "Hia-
watha" at Zion Baptist church was
the most ambitious musical Offering
in Denver for years. This compost
ton, be it remembered, is the one
which gave to a Negro his lasting
fame as a musical genius. 1t is the
one which a chorus in the East rem
dered a few weeks ago after a most
laborious instruction under Mr.. Tay-
lor himself. 1t was only small part
of it that the audience heard on Tues
day night. and it had hardly settled
down to the enjoyment of it before
the singing was concluded. The Col
eridge Taylor Study Club that pro-
duced it, is having all the trouble that
the music itself entails, together with
that caused by the smallness of num-
lbefs,~ Its unfamfifarfty with the pro
duction as given by well trained
choruses, SO that its proficiency is re-
markable under the conditions.
The show and dance at East Turner
hall on Monday night got a good
house. The Dixie Minstrels was the
production participated in by home
and out of town talent. The show was
good one and the dance also. AS is

round of pleasure unmarried by any
thing that could offend.

entertainment at the Peoples Pres
byterian church Thursday night wa
that Hewitson Watson was a good
chorus director. In varying degrees
of emphasis he was commended and
he deserved every word of it. There
were other features on the program
that were good, very good. but Mr..
Watson and his chorus were what the
audience wished chiefly to hear.
Devoid of any of the spectacular gy-
rations of some leaders, he yet put
into his work the power and move
ment that made the singers respons-
i've. Best of all, the singing itself
showed careful training and proved
the director to be worker no less
than musician. 1t is no small task to
take singers whose training has been
largely in choirs, and make OF them
good chorus material. Yet Mr.. Wat
son has made good. and Denver well
comes into its midst a musician.
The singing of Mesdames Rose and
Fife and Messrs Clark and Ward in
quartet, the duet of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson. the violin solo of Miss C.
Creedon and piano solos of Miss
Rhoda Anderson and the little
songs" by little Miss Vivian Jones
won much applause and deserved it
well. The farce in one act, partici-
pated in by Miss Edna Freeman, Way
man Ward. Hewetson Watson and
Miss Grace Cole, was a side splitter.
The first two with their spoony mo-
ments would have been well received
anywhere.

Matawan, May 9:-The third and

held in the lecture room of the
Methodist church Friday evening.
The attendance was4arge. every seat
being occupied, and a number stand
ing. Everyone seemed to be in quite
an excited state as to what the YER
dict would be. Court Crier F. @
Bedle called the court to order, after
which the counsel for defense, F. II.
Lloyd, and counsel for plaintiff, Will
liam G. Bedle, made very eloquent
and earnest appeals to the jury. 1t
was surprising with what ease and
composure these would-be lawyers
appealed to the jury. A person
would be apt to think that it was an
every day occurrence. The audience
listened with rapt attention. Then
Judge L~ippincott charged the jury in
a manner beyond comparison, his
~phraseology was almost beyond the
limit of ordinary intelligence, but
was very much appreciated. After
his charge he requested the jury to
retire and they were out five min
utes and brought in a verdict of
three cents in favor of the plaintiff.
The judge then discharged the jury.
A short musical program was rem
dered, consisting of: Piano solo. by
Miss Meta Thompson; vocal solo,
Sing Me to Sleep" Stanley Fisher;
piano duet, Miss Thompson and Miss
Naomi Bedle. After which refresh
