Good Words For The Glee Club

The University Glee Club received many flattering notices on their recent trip among which was the following in the Ottawa, 111., Journal: The Michigan University Glee Club, at the Congregatiosal church, last evening, met with a large, enthusiastic aDd well-pleased audience. To see eighteen handsome American youths - not a cross-eved or olt-colored one atnong them- arrayed in their best bibs and tuckers, polished shoes, swallow-tailed coat?, open vests, with nosegayed lapels, was in itself an inspiring sight to even the blasé business man, to say nothing, or jump to conclusions of the effect they had on the many ladies present. It was evident from tne character of the assembly, that pleasant echoes of last year's concert, still lingered in the memories of many present, and thatjthe occasion was well worthy the compliment of an operatic dress display. A number of ladies, friends of the gallant performers, wore handsome tqilets and manifested special interest in the success oi the entertainment. Many college-brec gentlemen present, whose silvering locks now intímate an approach to the sere and yellow leaf , were carried back in memory twenty years or more, by the rollicking, jolly songs, to the days ffhen they were under-elassmen, and would gladly have sat that night out, listening over and over again to the rejuvenating tnusic of their youth time. As it was, the enthusiasm was not conüned to these, norto the male auditors, but was shared by the ladies in attendance to such an extent that they succeeded in doubling the length of the program by encoring every selection. The program was thus vaned from among the more pretentions and complex musical compositions to the purely college boy melqdies. In all these the voiceswere fresh, harmonized beautifully and timed like a well played triangle. Perhaps the most noteworthy numbers were, the warbling of Mr. Cole, the singing of Mr. ilawley and the whistling of Mr. Clark. The last was almost phenominal, sufDciently so,to make a mocking or canary bird rage with jealously, and establish the fact that the human whistle has as decided claims for a musical standing as the human voice or a trombone. Mr. Clark has perfect control of the puckering string to nis whistle, and has long since lost any desireto smile while whistling. A reception at the residence of L. H. Btrawn was given the students after the concert was over, and was largely attended.
