THE GLEE CLUB CONCERT.

THE Glee Club and a trio from the Pierian gave a concert in the vestry of the First Congregational Church, Abington, on Tuesday evening, November 20, before a large and unappreciative audience.

The programme was well selected, and the pieces, without exception, were well rendered. Mr. Heard's careful training has had already a marked effect, and it certainly seems a little hard that the efforts of both leader and Club should, at their first concert, meet with such slight recognition.

The Club, however, can make no other complaint: they were treated with great kindness and consideration by the Rev. Mr. Freeman, on whose invitation they went to Abington; a stage was in waiting for them, and they were driven immediately to his house, where they were most kindly entertained.

The concert was opened at about a quarter before eight with the "Three Glasses," a rousing drinking-song, by Fischer. The sentiments expressed in this song were somewhat at variance with the surroundings, and it consequently was not as rapturously applauded as it might have been. "The Three Chafers" and "To the Bravest" were the only glees encored.

The college songs seemed to please much better; a number were encored, and "Michael Roy" was actually received with enthusiasm.

The trip home by moonlight was delightful. The Club had a special train as far as South Braintree, connecting there with the main line. On the regular train they fell in with the Swedish male quartette, who sang delightfully. Farewell songs were sung in the station at Boston before an enthusiastic audience of policemen, brakemen, and conductors, and the Club then disbanded.
