Saengerbund-Fine Programme Is
Headed by Mrs. ii. Clay Browning.

Heinrich Hammer. conductor OF the
Washington Symphony orchestra and of
the Washington SaenScrbund. was the
beneficiary at joint concert of these
organizations yesterday afternoon at the
Columbia Theater. with Mrs. II. Clay
Browning, soprano. as soloist. \ large
audience greeted the talented leader and
showed appreciative enthusiasm over the
good programme offered. The conductor
was deluged with beautiful flowers.
Mr.. Hammer has given his services as
conductor of the Symphony during the
past year, and has worked hard and
successfully to establish a good local
orchestra on a substantial basis. The
orchestra is = good ono. and at each
concert they gave during the season they
played better than at the last one. Yes
terday this rule obtained. and they
played even better than they had per-
formed at their last concert given last
week The programm. included the

work OF so much beauty and merit that
there was n general request that it be

Mrs. BrowninE's Voice Good.
Mrs Browning. who presented a very
handsome figure on the stage, sang the
famous aria from Wcbers Der Frei-
schultz" She has a soprano voice OF ex-
traordinarily beautiful quality. but it is
not in the least suited to the aria which
she chose, it being distinctly a light
voice, and the aria demanding a heavy
and 5ramatic one. She gave the German
text and her diction is good. The orches-
ira deserves special praise for the accom-
paniment

in which the bund is more successful
than in the more delicate parts Mr..

dental solo, and the orchestra played an
excellent accompaniment.
A gOodly sum was realized, and the

ute to the conductor. who has lived in
this country little more than two years,
and has gained a commanding position as

0. w. Miracle, who has charge Of

company in this state, was in town
Saturday, coming direct from st. Paul.
Mr.. Miracle stopped over day at
LewistOwn to keep in touch with i'm
provements in his line here. He was
the first visitor to the big land show
at st. Paul to reach Lewistown and
was most enthusiastic over it.
That show" said he, was fifty per
cent better than the Chicago land
show-it was, in fact, the greatest at
fair of the kind ever held in this cOun-
try. OF course l was chiefly interested
in the Montana display and there the
Fergus county exhibit loomed up as
one of the finest in the whole show.
1t was beautifully arranged and at
tracted the admiration of thousands.
1t ought to do your section a lot OF
good to make such a wonderful show
ing. Hilger, Lehman, Reynolds and
the other Lewistown boosters were
on hand nearly all the time and they
are great missionaries.
Il don't believe there was anything
there that proved to be such a sur
prise as the Montana section. 1t was
real eye-0pener for people who did
not know of the wonderful progress
made by Montana in an agricultural
way" tri
