It Wu an Evening or Rare. Enjoy ment D. A. It. 4M rating Probate ws Kxi-ltlnK Da-iketball Game Brief.

The twenty-second concert of the Philharmonic Society was given at the South Church last evening under the most gratifying: auspices and an au dlence which filled the church to the uttermost listened with much enjoy ment to the rendition of one of the most artistic and striking programs ever given in this city. The work of the chorus, which had been so ably trained ty Professor R. P. Paine, was excellent and the soloists were In fine voice. At precisely 8:15 Professor Palne's baton fell and the opening strains of Rheln-berger'g classic ballad, "Clarice of Eber-steln," began an evening of rare pleasure.

A few weird, subdued chords upon the organ Introduces the chorus, which was of great melodic beauty and was Interpreted with much feeling and appreciation of the theme. As a whole the chorus appeared to excellent advantage, having fine volume and preserving excellent tempo during the opening number. The tenors were perhaps a trifle weak but It was not noticeable In general. The chorus works up towards the end Into a triumphant burst of harmony, well sustained and powerful, yet with the voices carefully differentiated. A charming duet followed between "Clarice" and "Rupert," Mme.

Rio and Mr. Moore, both artists, being new to local audiences. Mme. Rio has a voice of rare sweetness and great power and her interpretation of the theme has seldom been surpassed in this city. Mr.

Moore has an admirable tenor voice, exquisite technique and considerable range. After a chorus and solo by "Clarice," the audience was delighted by a solo by the "Spinning "Witch" (Mrs. Miller), whose charming voice and classic technique took the audience by storm. A feature of "Clarice" was the bridal song rendered by the ladies of the chorus, which for dainty melody was unsurpassed by any number of the evening. The closing chorus was also a striking number, leading up from a lyric, melody of much beauty Into a grand triumphant burst of sustained harmony.

The work of the chorus In this number and in the preceding one was much appreciated. The audi; nee testified Its appreciation by an outburst of applause. To those Interested In classic music Schubert's unfinished symphony in 11 minor Is one of the most wonderful compositions ever written by the great composer. It contains but two movements, the allegro modern to and the andante con moto, the scherzo being unfinished and never played at present. The rendition of this classic composition by the Messrs.

Laubln and Hammond upon the piano and organ was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the evening. The passages of melodic loveliness changing by sudden and striking transition Into wild and agitated harmonies and somber minor chords was Interpreted with fidelity, deep sympathy and exquisite appreciation of the composer's lofty poetic genius In this, his most original and daring work. No more delicious) harmony, no grander chords were ever listened to by those present. It was a studv of artistic orchestral color. Mrs.

Miller followed with Buck's greatcompoHition. "Salve Reglna," which gave her an admirable opportunity to display her charming vocalization, the rich full compass and sympathetic timbre of her delightful contralto voice. Her effort was warmly applauded. Mme. Rio excelled her triumphs of the early morning by her splendid rendition of Massenet's aria.

"Pleurest. Pleurei, mee yeux," from "Ie Old." It was a great effort by an accomplished artist and won merited applause. Mme. Rlo's voice has a dramatic power which none of the other soloists could approach. W.

C. Hammond rendered three numbers upon the organ, Guilmnnt's charming prayer and cradle wing, S.ilnt Saena's caprice In flat and the Schiller "Festival March" by Meyerbeer. The first number was pVrhaps the best and waa produced with a precision of touch, a splendid technique and a depth of feeling which few organists in this country could equal. His interpretation of the magnificent festival march was also a revelation of the powers of the South Church organ In the hands of a master. The part song, "Wynkn.

Blynkn and Nod," a quaint little lullaby of Eugene Field, which has been eet to equally quaint and delightful music by ElheU bert Nevin, was rendered by Rio, the chorus and piano (four hands). To many it was the most exquisite number of the evening. It Is an obll-gato soprano solo with a rippling, dancing, fairy-like chorus as a background, full of a strange charm and beautiful as the poet's strange eweft fancy. Mme. Rio'a eurpasslng vocalization was never more noticeable than In this number, the melody rising above the chorus without an effort.

Mr. Moore's group of three songs, consisting of Chadwlck's "Nocturne." "Before the Dawn," and Boehm's "Thine," were also admirably rendered. The closing number was Costa's "Damascus Triumphal March" for the chorus, piano end organ. Meeting of Daughters of Revolution. The monthly meeting of Esther Stanley Chapter, D.
