the Matinee Musical. This evening was
devoted to the Ellen Beach Yaw con
cert company, consisting ot Mies Yaw,
coloratura soprano, Miss Lay, pianist,
Miss Rsade, contralto, and Mr. Maximi
lian Dick, violinist. The admirable
violin playinsj by Mr. Dick saved this
concert from complete medioc.it v. In
fact the singing of Miss Yaw is at times
not only bad but absurd, and sho never have
rose above a tricky and inartistic style prico
advantageof this concert as it is the only
glee club concort we have had this
season and will be covel and entertain

the Sutotius mandolin orchestra of
Omaha, which numbers sixty performers,
and is the largest club of its kind in the
country.
