of a grand vocal and -instrumental con•

obtained local and national repu

to no other artist In the country. The
audience was conspicuous., inasmuch as
It embraced our leading amateur vocal
ists, our most popular critics, our most
enthusiastic lovers of music and repro
aentatives of our most intelligent circles
of society. We were pleased that there
was such a general , outpouring of thee
clams; were delighted that not a single
soul could have lett the beautiful audi
torium without having felt that the en
tertainment was of high order, and that
here In the grim city of eunoke and in.
dustry,the fine arts are not neglected but
in • amateur circles are': so, highly
appreciated as to win devotees on the One
hand and produce true artists on the

thatthe concert intoxicated with delight
