The attendance at the concert
given Wednesday evening by Alyiu
Pool, asaiBtcd by others of the city,
was of Btiflicient she to 1 airly wcl
fill the floor of the opera bouse.
TJic audiuce proved an appreciative
one, and the numbers on the pro
gram were received with an en
thusiasm that called forth encores
in nearly all renditions.
The two numbers by Mr. Poo
were executed in a finished manner,
and gave evidence ot tbc rapid
advancement which the young man
is making on that grandest of all
instruments, the violin. Tbis
writer believes that Mr. Pool as a
violinist haB a bright future before
RFm, and at the. expiration of Inn
next year of study will be in a
position to play in a satisfactory
tnannsr to the most critical
audience.
A cornet solo by Earl Stamp so
well pleased the audience that he
was recalled. This young man
handles the comet in a very easy
manner and produces exceptionally
clear and distinct tones,. Miss

tion of McDowell's Concert Etude
in F Major, and was also recalled
A reading by Miss Furnas, who is
a favorite with North Platte
audiences, gave a reading that cap
tivatcd her auditors and in response
to hearty applause gave a second
reading. Mrs. Milton Doolittc sang
Robaudi's Bright Star of Love"
to piano and violin accompaniment
by Miss Bratt and Mr. Pool. It
was an excellent rendition. A
violin duet by Robert Cary and
Alvin Pool was well rendered. The
opening and closing numbers on
the program were by the Arion
Octette.
Following the concert a dance
was held, forty. two couples Bpend.
ing about three hours at this popu
lar amusement.
