who bring the stalwart force of

proved their command Of counter
point-without accompaniment
The Hand Organ Man" of Won
Othegraven.
One encore, an old Chanty "Old
Man Noah," brought that estimabie
quality Of choral diction into their
art-work. It was a numerous story,
in many-versed variety, and we
quite understood all the humor of
the text. There was music of Schu-
mann, Mcdowell, and ave Maria"
Of Arcadelt, as well as their own
"Hail to California" by Morse.
Soloists of this Glee Club group,
from the far west university were
Octo Lindquist, tenor and Irving

ing the contest in the National Cap
