APOLLO QUARTET CONCERT.
Enthusiastic Reception to Singers an
 ElodutiOnist,

Enthusiastic Reception to Singers and
 Elodutionist.
 The enthusiastic reception accorded the Apollo Quartet and Miss Dorothy Carpenter, elocutionist. at the Meth odist church last night was we'll de- served, and the large audience that filled the auditorium of the church was of a unanimous opinion in regard to the talent and versatility of the singers and the reader.
 It was without doubt the best concert of the three that the Apollo quartet has given here under the auspices of the Methodist Brother hood. the elocutionist adding much to the enjoyment of the program. The delightfully."- rendered songs on the program were varied enough to sat- tsfy everyone. and the wonderful har- mony and perfection of vocal ensem- ble, were heard to the best advantage in splendfdly rendered encores. The finely modulated voices blended beau tifully.. and the quartet were very generous with encores.
 Miss Carpenter, the reader, was de- lightful in her short stories and mon- oiogues and the quartet met with unanimous approval and wild ap- plause from their first number to the last, which was given after the audi ence had refused to leave the seats until they had heard one more song.
