Mr. Er-nestlnoff) had under his direction an or chestra of forty pieces and a chorus of about Afty" members.

Considering the short! time the members have rrhearse the music was very credltably rendered. The chief numbers on th program were by Hummel, and the finale of Mendelssohn's "Loreley." The soloists for th former, were FV H. Colvln. Miss M. Schulmever and Mrs.
