Tuesday evening was the scene of a
gathering of a number of society peo-
pie at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Theo-
dore Richards when Mr.. Sydney F.
Hoben, assisted by 44r. Butt of Sydney
and Miss Helene Sloane rendered a
farewell concert prior to Mr.. Hoben's
departure in the Sierra on Wednesday
for San Francisco where a college ap-
pOintment awaits him.
Mr.. Hoben, as the star of the even
ing was heartily rewarded after each
of his well rendered selections, his
technique in the Carmen airs, MAN
dolinata" and "Cracovienne Fantasia
que" exhibiting great skill.
Paderewsh's "Polonaise," fantasy
of dainty trills, runs, chromatics, and
staccatos was neatly rendered, Mr..
Hoben's execution resembling a ripple
like the patter of pearls on che key
board.
Schumanns Romance was play
ed with a remarkable depth of feeling
and sympathy, the applause which fol
lowed seeming too harsh a tribute to
offer such a soft dream of melody.
Miss Sloane sang several selections
accompanied by Mrs. Westervelt, and
Mr.. Butt recited "Lasca," and for en-
core Selections fro mthe Gamblers
