The prestige of the ruling coterie

almost inevitably follow. In such
case 1t is highly improbable that the
young Turks would again enjoy the

For the present, however, the young

portance In this connection. That they
will be granted a similar period of

advantage in piano numbers. Mr.. Hen
jun gave promise Of he coming vio.
linist that he Viii undoubtedly be
come if he perseveres. while the vocal
offerings were certainly above re
proach, both in their selection and
their rendition. The Misses Florence
PlOcker and Frances Newton, in
double numbers, showed unmistak-
ably the effect of the superior methods
employed by Prof. Ender in his vocal
instruction, giving promise OF voices
of rare beauty. Prof Ender, accom-
panied by Miss Cecile Welch, closed
the program with a group that allowed
his fine tenor voice full play. The adj
mirable manner in which the first
number. Mozart's sonata for violin
and piano. by Profs. Christensen and
Ender, cannot be overlooked.
