REVIEW OF MUSICALE.
Local Musician Who Attended Knapp
Studio Musicale Contributes
Following Criticism.

Prof. Knapp and his pupils can take
just pride in the splendid recital given
last evening in Dewey hall. From the
opening 'tLadies Chorus The Water
Fay to the last and appropriate "Good
Night was continual musical feast.
Miss Hill, Mrs. Nehlsen, Miss Williams,
Miss Casterton, Miss Madsen, Miss
Foxwell, Miss Vinegar and Miss Wells
delighted the audience with their ex-
cellent work, the degree of efficiency
only being measured by the length of
time given to study. While Mrs. Dunn,
Miss Cameron and Miss Becker fully
maintained their recognized reputation
as accomplished musicians. The solo
of Prof. Knapp with his little daugh-
ter as accompanist proved real fea-
ture on the program, and last but not
least were the solos cit Is Enough =

DRY, - @ Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal''
and Invictus by John Hanny of
Chicago. Mr.. Hanny has charming
voice and pleasing manner and sang
with an ease and grace most restful to
his captivated listeners. He will al
ways be welcomed to Kenosha musical
circles. Prof. Knapp modestly an
nounced that he was not exhibiting
artists but class of students, how
ever, they all sang with artistic finish
and surely evidenced Prof. Knapp s
thorough training.

call Of the nation, and as such I trans
NIT it to the National Guard of Wiscon-
sin; and call not only upon those who
are bound by enlistment oath to serve
the state, but upon all other people of
Wisconsin who, by their aid and en-
couragement helped in previous wars,
that the quota of Wisconsin troops re-
qIired for national services may be
promptly filed, and therefore main
tanned, and to the further end that in
place Of those who 90 forth there may
&c organized through drills and disci-
pl,ne, fresh troops to serve the state
and the nation if they shall be also
