A sacred concert that offered a good
deal of Interest was given last Sunday
evening at the Cathedral, under tho di
rection of Miss Catherine M.' Covach,
t&t the benefit of th new orphanage.
The church' was well filled Th chlef
numbers were given by the - Columbian
Choral society, aa organisation of 18
voices, under Miss Covach's direction,
and whose members sing well together.
Their numbers were "Ave Maria" (C. A.
Hasten); "Quando Corpus,'1 from "Sta
bat Mater" (Rossini) ; and "Gloria"
fMniartl. The voices are weu Daiancea
and well "trained to sing, in harmony.
Especially good was tne--Tjuanao cor
pus." William uoniey, tenor, was- ine
soloist with the chorus In the first num
ber, and sang well.
The other soloists were -Mrs." Rose
Coursen i Reed,- contralto: Dora - J. Zan,
baritone, and Frank O. Elchenlaub, vio
linist. Mrs. Reed's number was Luzei's
"Ave Maria" Her low notes were beau
tiful, hut her voice in general was not in
aa good form as usual, probably because
she had . been putting . in - ner evening
singing the service at anotner cnurcn.
Mr. Zan sang "In Thee, O God, Do I Put
My Trust" (Spicker). and his rich barl
inn, ammrleri iinuanallv well. Mr. Elch
enlaub played the "Preislled" and "Even-
Ing Star Bong" rrom wagner, ana me
Bach aria for the G atrlng. The last
number was his best, as his tones were
there better sustained. ' .
Mr. Goodrich waa at the organ, and
did some good - accompanying and 'hla
preludes were good,- The postlude waa
the "Hallelujah?' musio from "The Mes
siah," which, to 1 my mind. Is very un
pleaslng as an organ number only.., Th
Blanchet institute boy sang tha pro-
Onward Christian Boiaiers. -
