The concert given by the Kuterpe Quartette, of Detroit, at the Prestiyterian church last Thursday evenirig was highly praised by those who attended. The singing of Miss Jennie M. Stoddard was especially worthy of praise and many declare that as a vocalist öhe equals Aun Arbor's favorite, Mrs. Johnstone Bishop of Chicago, though possessing a different voice and different Bty e. ïlie quartette singing was also excellent, and good musicinas class the concert in its entirety on the top round of the ladder rn the list given here in Ann Arbor this season. The Y. M. C'. A. lyceum course management was fortúnate in securing tüiis quartette to :il the vacancy in its course caused by the inabüity of Mrs. Leavitt to fill her engagement. The next entertainment in this ular course will 'be given by tlie Boyal Bell Ringers, of London, Eng., the best troupe of the kimd now traveling n the entire world. They appeared at Hudson on the evening of Jan. 8th, and the Post ol that city was strong in their pralse. mong otlier thnigs it said in its isïssue of Jan. 10, '96 : "The Royal Bell Ringers, the econd attvaetioa ou the leciure course, last Monday evening at the opera house, gave our people a concert such as no other bell ringer company ever gave in Hudson. The work was perfect from a musical 6tandpoint, and the melody of the bells eaptured the audience completely. The lecture oourse management is to be congratulated on the excellent class of entertamments which it has seeured." Tlie Bell Ringers are to be here on Thursday evening Feb. 13, and we bespeak for them a large audience for they will be worth hearing. The Y. M. C. A. have been fortúnate in securing as an extra for this year another valuable attractlon, to which all their course tickets will admit. This entertainment will be given on the evening of Feb. 27, by Grenville P. Kle;6er, an impersonator, who ranks with Leiand T. Powers and that class of entertainers. This will be one of the best of the year, and tihe iriends of the Y. M. C. A. and lovers of a pleasant evening's entertainment are asked to attend . It is very seldom that our people have been favored as they have been this season with so many ïirstclass eatertainments at a nominal priec of admission. When the course is completed there will have been given eight concerts and Iecture3, every one of which were of the very first order, for only $1 for the entire course, or averaging but 12 1-2 cents each. That is a record equaled in any city of any state in the Union. Ir the aesociation put up as good a course next year - which we ai e iniormed they intend to do- they ought to )je overwhelmed with success in disposing of tthe tickets. It is imderstood that next year the number of tickets will be limited, bo ■Dhat there will be no m;re tickets so'.d tliuii the auditorium ,vill accommodate.
