Duncan, "The Unsolved Problem ;" J. E. Lautner, "The Brotherhood of tions;" E. O.Ï.Lindsey, "Bismark;" J. R. Brooks. "The French Eepublic." The judges on Thought and Composition were Profs. O. H.

That prince among baritone singers, Max Heinrich, bassecured a wonderful liold upon inusic loving people in the Universjty city. How highly they regard hiin was shown Thursday night when University Hall couldhardly contain tlie magnificent audience which carne to greet him and remained to applaud and recall liim till he woukl come back upou the stage no more, lt is quite impossible to say just wliat nurnbers on tlie program were most enjoyed. Ilowever it is true that the English songs drew the lieartiest applause, though the audiencecertainly appreciated the beautiful Germán ones. "I'm wearing awa' " was the first to receive an encoré and Mr. Heinricb repeated tliis pathetic little Scotch song most exquisitely. When the singer began- "When e'er asnowflakeleaves thesky," the audiencj was his to do witli as he wonld. Eecall after recall followed, Mr. Heinrich delighting everyone by those oíd íavorites, "Gypsy John" and "Punchinello." The rem'aining numbers were searcely less enjoyable, Schu bert's "Staendelen," "Der Wandeier" and "Der Erl Koenig" deserving every bit of the bearty applausethey received. After the last number tlie audience rose to its feet and compelled Mr. Heinrich to couie agaiu to the stage to bow hia acknowledgemente: A Choral Union series would seem sadly incomplete without an evening with Max Heinrich.
