Ttto Plymouth Congregational society in North Omaha contains a numborof excellent musicians who hnvo organized a musical club. On Friday evening , they inailo their first appearance in a grand concert. For un initial performance it was most excellent and was greatly enjoyed by the auditors. The club is composed of thirty-three members who are under the leadership of Mr. Leo G. Krutz. The opening number was a chorus by the club , finely rendered with the excep tion that the tenors were weak. The same is true of the ether songs by the chorus. The flute solo , "Der Kotho Sarafan. " played by Dr. Humphrey , was a pretty und pleasing effort and elicited deserved applause. Uut the efforts that were particularly ap preciated by tlio auditors wore the two trios of violin , violincollo and piano by the Misses 13rown , 1 toco re and Brown. At both ap pearances the ladies were warmly encored. Mr. B.illraau made a record usix bass siuRor by his rendition of "Tho Exile , " and sur prised even his most Intimate friends. By culture he will develop into a splendid bass. Tho'antohurpan , Instrument comparatively unknown in concerts , was most skilfully handled by Mr. A. K Morris , and the pleasing melody produced was awarded with an cncoro. Mr. Wolf's ' cornet solo was the closing feature of the evening ami was most creditable. The success of the concert as a whole should bn an encouragement to the club to follow with ether concerts. Itllss Anderson's Kocitixl.
