ny assistance,
A Musical Feast,
Want of time prevented any more
than mere mention yesterday morn
ing uf the first concert given at Me
tropolitan hall by the Handel and
Hadyn society. A wet drizzling ram,
the annual meeting of Odd Fellows,
and an interesting event over at
Knappton, prevented many from at
tending who would have been there
under other circumstances, and still
the hall was nicely filled. The pro
gramme, which appeared in The As
tokian in full on Thursday morning,
was one of richness, set with gems
from the most popular writers, and
the execution of it filled the heart of
j each hearer with joy to know, and to
realize, that it was the work of our
own friends, all ladies and gentlemen
of Astoria. Part first opened with a
glee in full chorus "When the Sum
mer Rain is Over," by Donizzetti, and
from first to last it appeared that "the
best was reserved until the last, :is
each succeding piece seemed to be
more thrilling than the first. Several
beautiful pieces were roundty encored.
"The Herdsman Song, duet, sung by
Mrs. G. W. Woi.d and Miss Belle
Welch; "Blow, Bugles Blow," solo,
by Miss Ida Brown, chorus by the
class; "Jelly Jonathan," comic quartet
by Messrs. F. J. Taylor, Geo. Taylor,
W. B. Adair and J. Miller. In this
piece bursts of enthusiasm and a shower
tif boquets from the ladies attested
the appreciation of the audience. The
two Taylors got their boquets mixed,
and they were not "sorted out" until
after the close of the concert, when
Mr. George Taylor got his, and Frank
J. his. A beautiful solo "Beware," one
of Perrings best, was most happily ren
dered in part first by Miss Kate Taylor,
also, "A A'ery Bad Cold, a comic
quartet, by Miss Oruha Beard, Miss
Beard, and Messrs. Miller and Sinister;
also, one of Millards solos, "Grand
Old Ocean," by Capt. Wood, conclu
ded with a gem "O'er Forest, O'er
Mountaiu and Meadow," solo by Miss
Ester Holden, with full chorus by the
class.
"The Marvelous Work," from
Haydns Creation, solo by Mrs. C. H.
Page, chorus by class, opened the
second part, and was sweetty rendered.
"Yearning," a solo by Mr. W. H.
Barker followed, Mr. Barker has an
excellent voce, and sings with spirit.
The next piece, "Fly tender Birdling,"
duet by Mrs Page and Miss Ida Brown
was beautiful, and perfectly rendered.
Miss Cara Van Dusen next appeared,
and sang that Heaven inspiring solo
by Abt, "Where is Heaven," which
was roundly encored, and the lady
was therecipient of a handsome boquet.
Then came the glee "Hail hail Fairy
Queen," in full chorus, and a selection
not on the bill by Miss Belle Welch,
followed by one of Abt's solos "Tell
me O' Bird of the Merry Greenwood,"
by Miss Ester Holden, encored. Miss
Holden's is a sweet, strong voice, and
she has a composure which shows that
she commands it. "The Professor at
home," a comic quartet, personated
by Mrs. Page as Prima Donna, Miss
Ida Brown as the servant girl Annie,
Prof. Cook as The Professor, and Mr.
Barker as The tax Collector, was
happily rendered,and encored a second
time. The concert closed with "The
Star Spangle Banner," Capt. Wood
singing the solo, and the class in full
chorus. Mrs. Schmeer presided at the
piano with grace, showing ability of a
high order, and the execution of the
entire programme told of the ability
of Prof. Cook. We are pleased to
hear that he regards the class at As
toria the best class in Oregon. There
are as many in the class as could
comfortably stand on the stage at
Metropolitan hall, and we shouid be
happy to make special mention of each
individual performer, in his or her
capacity, as all are deserving of praise,
but this is not possible at this time.
The society will continue its instruc
tion under the leadership of Mr. Cook,
and give another concert in about
three months.
Another Body Pound.
Mr. W. H. Clough, of the steamer
Canby, informs us that another body
supposed to be a fisherman, was found
on the 5th, close under the rock3 at
the lighthouse. He had on rubber
boots and oilskin shirt, pants and
overalls, ne was found by Mr. Al
len's seining party. Deceased appears
to be a man about forty-five years of
age, was partly bald, supposed to be
a German. The body could not be
identified. A sca'.p wound was found
on the right side of his head and three
fingers of the rght hand jammed.
The body was taken charge of by the
military authorities and buried.
