DELIGHTED THEIR AIBE
. , ' "v. z. r ?=? bm- ;
1 The musical [recital given last even
ing by Misses Crystal Snow and Dazl*
Stromstadt was a distinct artistic suc
cess. There was not such an audience?
in numbers ? as the character of the
entertainment warranted. Miss Snow
was suffering; from a cold in spite of
which her performance was such as to
awaken the liveliest enthusiasm among
her auditors and the appliuse was long
and Insistant upon each rendition. The
range of subjects was such as to appeal
to varied taste, from Fonteneille's "Ob
itination" through the Kerry Danes
and Robin Adair to "Robert le Diable."
Miss Stromstadt was equally strong in
her part of the program. She gave two
lolos besides meeting the utmost expec
tation as an accompanist. "The
Awakening of the Lion" and the "Dance
of the Dervishes," the latter from
Beethoven'i Ruins of Athens were by
Miis Stromstadt. The ladles will leave
Saturday for Whitehorso where they
will give an entertainment. They will
be at Haines this evening.
