The audiencs was one of the most fashionable ever seen at a pub lic gathering in Lincoln. The boie3 were radiant and many pretty gowns throughout the dress circle marked the presence of theater parties. Wise Oakley ia about to leave for Europe to continue the cultivation of her voice. She appeared at her best in three groups. The first comprised Aufrnthalt"" by Schubert, and Greig's "Two Eyes of Brown" and "Suoshine Song;'' the second. Thomas "A Sum mer Night,' gave her voice better advan tage. The third group was composed of some particularly attractive simple little song3 McDowell's "Fols Sonir," "And I" by Mrs. Gaynor; Chad rick's "Allah" and Whitney Comb's Four Leaf Clover." For the encores she eang Bartlett'a "A Dream" and "Bonnie Doon" Mr. Will McCune, of Omaha, appear ed in one number, a Moorish serenade by Ouftn, to good advantage. He ha3 a flexible voice of good range and-qual-ity. The instrumental numbers were en thusiastically received. MUs Dales cre ated the usual enthusiasm by DeBeriot's Concerto No. 7. Miss Hoovor played a very pretty group. Mo:zkowEkis Barcarole, a "love soag." by Nevin, and Seeling's "Lorelei."
