treat and with them were many
new friends who now join with
the others in praise of Eagle Riv-

Mr.. Won Geltch played selee-
tons by composers of various
countries, giving a short account
of each composer before playing
his composition, His usual group
of national dances was especially
appreciated by some of the Ger
mans in the audience.
The silence of the audience
during the final selection, Home

Geltch vas good enough to come
back aud play, after he had an
nounced his final number, showed
how the violin appealed to the
hearts of the people, as it sang
its familiar strains.
The accompanist, Mrs. Won
Gcltch, added much to the
smoothness and beauty of the
music as she accompanied her
husband on the piano.
