The picce for the opening was Handel's “Messiah.”” It was, perhaps, an ambitious undertaking, and one which might easily have daunted more experi- enced managers. tt enture has roven successful. The greatest work of he greatest master of oratorio, with all its beauty, depth of religious thought and nepiring themes, has been rendered in a most acceptable manner. To this “opinion, the audicnce last night gave most forceful expression. Mr. Pratt, the director, the chorus and the orchestra, may well bo satisfied with the result of their labors, The Concert., At o'clock, the first note of the concert was sounded, the orenestra, in its overture, which was feelingly ren- dered, meekly submitting to the annoy- ance of late comers who inflicted every person with whom they came in contact. The first solo was that of the tenor, Mr. Hirschbach, who was accepted instead of Mr. Charles Knorr, who had be prom- jsed. Itwas “Every Valley Shall be altea.’”’” Mr. Hirschbach's voice in many respectsis sweet and ag hle, Tt that has undergone considerable training, and 3 one is most grateful inthe middle notes. His openiug was i isfactory, yot scarcely 80 pro- as had been expected. . Wm, Broder approached his air. “But Who May Abide the Day of I Coming,” with the bearing and con ,.denco of the singer equal to the picce.

It went through:its work without a break. While the parts scomed at times to ‘be _improp- erly proportioned a whole, the effect was grand, even inspiring. Its grandest work was in the “Hullelujah Chorus,” which closed the entertainment in a man- £ zor which mado overybody fool, that the undertaking was . success. And 8o it was. The exposition building to-night should contain 6,000 people. The *Hymn ® of Praise” will be rendered. A The Hall. The Exposition building, in the short E--tlme has been in existence, has been decorated in various ways. Money in Iiberal sums has been expended in its or- mnamentation, but nothing more chaste or emblematic could have been d which, last night, prevailed. Behind the b ge was the flag. of the nation, sym- ic of the country from all parte of _ whichthe people composing the tions of the chorus were gathered. ‘#pillar to pillar areund the gall-ry, grace- ¥ fully fell festoons of evergreen in the mgweep of which reposed a cluster miniature flags of the nations of the earth, Beyond this, the beauty of the interior of the building was not S marred by single article of tawdry adornment, and, in the light of the hun- i the symmetrical and zn of the zo. tended to the ), divided by an aisle in the middle, with Y one on either side immediately * beneath the outer edge of the i+ gallel Another aislo bi-sected L the auditorium affording each audicor n to the hou seats were divided into sections A, nd D, each section containing a number of rows consecutively ed, and each row containing a oertain number of chairs, The system, was yet a su ful i lly with the com: ¢ petent young gentlemen who sacted a8 ushers, corps of these ng men was employed both on the ‘,’fifir and in the ?Ilory. and the result . was tho seating of the vast audience ~ without the slightest annoyance, The Audience, »Lhough the performance commenced 8:25 o'clock, it was 8:45 before some of the people had tuken their seats.

To expect that such a number of people in this, one of the new- cst of our most recently sottled states, wonld be uble to appreciate all the music rendered during the evening, would be to give expression to something not casily susceptible of demonstration. And yet, one could not otherwise than feel that, judging from appearances, those who did not either apprecinte or understand all they heard, made Inudable efforts toim- prove the opportunity and convince the beholder that they were atleast interestod in all that was proyided for their enter- tainment. T'o some it was a heavy first lesson; to others, it was_a most grateful recreation, Between all, the cause of music and intelligence was most happlly subserved. The Lady Principals. It was not until after Miss Hortonse Pierce had sung her air, “Rejoice greatly, O, daughter of Zion,” that Madam Fursch-Madi appeared upon the stage. Previously, the other ladies, Miss Huntington and Miss Pierce, had taken seats upon the lett of the director, and each, as she appeared, was tendered a kindly reception by both audience and chorus, which each, heartily and with smiles acknowledged. Both are pretty Iadies. They are young, in the prime of womanly prido andvigor, and each, in her own way, was more or less rep- resentative of that vocal culture which, slowly, yet steadily, is developing the natural vocal gifts which have been bestowed upon the maidens of this coun- tr; s Picree is a proximate approach to the blonc Her hair is of the lightest gold, her eyes large, lustrous, witching and kindly, Her features are regular, expressive and beautiful, suffused by a glow of health which neither the sca of taces, nor the glare of searching lights could pale. She wore a heart-shaped. pale-blue satin dr en train, nlruEw( over the L with ~ Valen- ciennes lace, fell in pretty folds over her arms, Her gloves were long and approaching flesh pink ,She followed every note upon her score, and, during the interludes, improved the opportunity to survey the audience. Miss Huntington wasattired in a heavy cream satin flowered dress, decorated with chenille net with fringe below. Be- tween the bars of the net. hung satin cov- crea balls of the same material, the net reackting to the bottom of each'flounce. The corsage was cut square, and from the belt hung a bright cardinal red plumed fan, suspended by a ribbon of the same color. diamonds were fash- ioned in a sword hilt, whicl gleamed above the corsage, a gem, it is understood, she alw m public, and which she de Madi was greeted with round after round of applause when sho appeared. She was plainly, though richly attired in a white watered silk, on basque, full draped, with front trimmed with heavy lustrous beads. A simple diamond brooch flashed from her bosom, while her hands brown gloves r The Pe nery When Director S. G. Pratt took his stand he was flanked byan orchestra of twelve first violing, eleven second violins, seven violas, six violoncellos, seven basses, three flutes, two oboes, two cl ionets, two fagotts, two cornets, five horns, three trombones, two trumpets, one bass tuba, one timpany, one zither, one kettle, one snare and one bass drum. In front of him sat the chorus com- prising seventy sopranos, thirty-one tenors, forty basses and fifty altos. On his right, sat Mr. the tenor, and Mr. Brode: . of these gentlemen was in evening costume. Each is of handsome presence and readily received attention from the audience. The orchestra were attired in dark suits, and occupied the front of the stage immediately beneath the eye and baton of the dirtctor. Behind them, rising tier above tier, rested the chorus. The tenors and basses, many in dress suits, occupied the south: ern and northern sides of the sides re- spectively, while between those fparts were the sopranos and altos. With but two exceptions, these ladies were attired like sweet girl graduates, the snowy purity of their garments contrasting with a_u;uhre shade of tne gentlemen on cither side. There was here, a union Omaha and Chicago, though indirée)ly with all parts of the country, and, indecd, with all ln:u'lx of the world, because there 18 searcely a nationality which had not a representative in that wonderful gather- ing. Tho appearance of the whole was im- posing and picfuresque, especially wh as one, both instrumental and rose to join in the grand con: outlined in the score. In th ber of people, it would be diflicult to find a more handsome orintelligent collection ot individuals, Among the ladi abroad there were might not lay cl to sonul charms, “while anion whor represented our home folks, would indeed be a task to discover whe in nature had been generous and The gentlemen secmed ecinlly digni- and bore themselvee throughout the ning with the grace and intelligence which it is devoutly hoped may conduce tostill greater appreciation of “the task of chorus singer, The Home Talent.

Haves Covsty, Neb,, June 8.—[Corre- spondence of the Bry.]—For some timo past the farmers ot thigloeality have been custing longing eyes, toward the north and westward with'the hope of discover ing a cloud along tha Horizon that would give promise of ¥um. The droad of a dronth has happily been dispelled, how- ever, and anxious longings gratified by three copious showets in the past week that have assuredthe corn crop and the consequent prosperity of the “‘arid belt,” and more especially of Hayes county. As I write the heavens are obscured with heuvy clouds that are charged with mois- ture that is liable at any moment to be procipitated on the vestareas of corn and wheat thronghout this region that are yearning for it. The development of this section_in the past three months is maryelous, It is se- riously to be questioned whether any por- tion of the west can show as great an im- migration and permanent settlement as can Hnrt!s county in the spring of 1886, particularly that rornon lying between the Blackwood and Stinkingwater. Cattiemen and land grabbers h; i endeavored to keep sett of this country, and in this desi schieme they fiave been ajded by a fow smalt-fry settlers in their |myl. My last letter to the Beg has been the means of inviting marked attention to the country and has largely contributed to its settlement, while the writer has been in receipt of scores of letters from all parts of the country nsking for more spe- cific information, and 1 gladly avail of the opportunity to resort to the columns of the BEE as a means to say that there is a vast amount of land 'still open to_gov- crnment entry in all sections of the county that is fully as productive and de- sirable as any that hus yet been taken up. It is quite true that about all the 1ands along the streams have been gobbled long ago by land grabbers, and that many very desirable quarters are covered up through chicanery by settlers who are paid (o do this thing by speculators and ocators in and about McCoo ulbert- son and elsewhere. 1 m not disposed to think that the land oflice officials at McCook are parties to this detestable ractice, especially as the register s boming up as a formdnble candidate for secretary of state. 1 have taken the pums to ascertam that there is plenty of Zood land subject to homestend and pre- emption entry in range 31 from town 4 northward tothe limit of the McCook or Hiteheock land district. This same ob- servation will apply to ranges 35 and 86, and I_would suggest that land seekers consult these prats in the Jand office with- out seeking the interested advice of pro- fessional locators who hang about the McCook land office, who demand an ex- itant fee for a very dubious and un- ble service. .« Several instancds . fiave occurred here under myown obgetyation where land seekers have been located by professional swindlers on landy, thyt have long since been taken, and others on quarters that are very different from what their entry papers call for. the, absence of any very specific corners ot other markings it is very easy to dgpeeive the land seekers who ‘are inexperjencid - in the way of land office parasitéy, nd they are con- sequently often ghown lands that are actually gseveral mjle nt from the lands their pu}mrs fen) This state o adicd by land see irect into the country, and ascértain from settlers in the neighvorhond the. location of va- cany ]m} 5, Most sgttlers know their own land yumbers, and dre familiar with all vacant land nehr them, and, in most instances, will | give the information gratis. But little interest is being taken in pol- itical matters hercabouts, oxcept in so far as Hon. Jim Laird’s emissaries are parading the cxcellencies of that eminent statesman before the unsophis- tieated homesteader much to the A}ebri- ment of our senior senator. Hayes county, being a sort of tail to the Hitch- cock and Dundy eounty kites, has but little influence in volitical matters, and will probably remain in the background 50 long ns it is, as_at present, controlled by a sort of land ring and townsite clique that has its headquarters 1n McCook and Culberton, “PELHAM."” — e A Morning Wedding. Frank A. Hill and Miss Minnie Brown were married yesterday at the resi- dence of the bride’s mother.on King and Charles street, the ceremony being per- formed by the Rev. R, N. McKaig. Only a few relatives and intimate friends were present. After the conventional wedding breakfast, the newly-married couple left for a tour of the eastern cities.

It struck the house of a gentleman farmer, while éxerting its greatest force, but, strange to say, it did hut slight injury. It carried away one corner of the house, leaving the rest somewhat shattered, but still in thering. In the corner that was carried away was the parlor, and in the parlor was the farmer’s daughter, who was deeply absorbed 1n _playing the piano.
