A large number of music lovers at
tended the first program of this years
Chatauqua, Saturday afternoon and
evening. Many outsiders came to New
Ulm to listen to the beautiful offerings
of the Neapolitan Tourbadours and
Vittorio Somma. Every number played
by the troupe elected loud applause
among the large audience which sat in
almost reverential silence so as not to
lose anything of the classic tone pictures
following each other in quick succession.
Vittorio Somma was the soloist on both
the afternoon and evening program. He
has a very pleasing tenor voice which is
made still more perfect by it's splendid
schooling. The singing of Mr.. Somma
alone repaid for the money spent to hear
the concert.
Another real treat was the lecture by
Judge W. Baggott of Dayton, O., who
spoke on ga Day in q Juvenile Court"
The judge knows how to treat this sub
ject because he has been judge in a
juvenile court for number of years.
He never lost sight of the seriousness of
the subject, but nevertheless his talk was
full OF humorous stories and remarks.
