HEARTY singing of home songs in chorua by elderly folks with good voices were features of the re unions of the Indian War veterans and Oregon Pioneer Assocta-tion held in this city last week.' Too seldom do we hear such sincere, enthusiastic choral singing nowadays, and the opinion was -frequently ex pressed by listeners that the old pioneers and their descendants, typical ly Oregonians. must have grown to maturity in what is called "a singing time," as opposed to this age of rag time and vaudeville melodies. Wo of this younger generation are content to allow other people to sing choruses for us. To hear the chorus of pioneer folks sing "America" and "Auld Lang Syne," was quite Inspiring. The in dividual solos were also much admired. Mrs. Fay JL Huntingdon, contralto, sang with fine effect "The Shamrock of Old Ireland," and for recall number "Killarney," her piano accompanist being Mrs. C. C. May. The butterfly dance, in costume, was contributed by Miss - Margaret McCullough. Leonia Blacslns, Eunice Cowglll, Jean Mc Donald and Laura Shay- Miss, Grace Miller gave- an enjoyable reading in negro dialect, and Eunice Cowglll and Iaura Shay danced the sailors"- horn pipe. Mrs. Maud Springer Watkins. fcoprano. sanff with fine sentiment and clearly expressed diction "When You and I Were Young. Maggie." and she led the audience in singing "Auld Lang Byne." Webber's Juvenile Orchestra made a big hit In "Indian War Dance," "Chief Battle Axe" and "The Flag of Uncle Sam." The programme was skil fully arranged by Mrs. Harry Chip man. At the pioneers' reunion. Stuart Mc Guire, baritone, sang with stirring effect "Marguerite" and "Ben Bolt" and Mrs. Mabel Baker Layfield. of Chicago, sang pleasingly a contralto solo, -to a piano accompaniment provided by Mrs. llallie Baker Allen. It is to be regretted that not one of the recent new. songs -composed about Oregon has attained enough popularity to enable it to be sung in chorus at these pioneer reunions. Let us all indulge in the hope that by June, 116. we shall have an Oregon song well enough known and admired to enable it to be sung with the same patriotic pride as the people of Maryland sing "Maryland, My Maryland." .
