L. M. Bolt- er, as King Ahasuerus, scored a suc- cess and J. A. Davis in the part of Payne claimed the|jMordecai, could not have been im- proved on. Dr. C. C. Carpenter as Haman, and Miss Mary Bossard, as Zeresh, took well with the audience. and their renderation of the parts was very good indeed. The hit of the evening was the beggar song, rendered by Allen Doran. He has a magnificent bass voice and his ex- prsesion was excellent. The minor solo parts were rendered in a manner to elicit the highest praise and the choruses were also good in the chorus Work. Too much praise cannot be given Madame Daix-| Despret, the directress, and the man-| ner in which the cantata was re-| ceived showed that her efforts were very much appreciated.

He could not sleep, and | therefore commanded that his scribe should entertain him by reading from | the book of Chronicles. The dis- | covery of Mordecai’s unrequited ser- vices in saving the King’s life when plotted against by two wicked cham- iberlain was thus discovered. Mor- decai had heard of the plot, and com- municated his knowledge of it to Esther; but Hamarf, an overseer of the realm, had neglected to requit | Mordecai therefore. King Ahasuerus determined at once to send for Haman in order that they might consult to-: gether as to what honor'should be conferred upon Mordecai for so im-} portant a service. Haman’s errand to the palace at this early hour of | | the morning was to obtain permis- sion from the King to hang Mor- decai.) Recit. and Scene—King, Scribe and Haman. . Chorus and Male quartet.
