A FINE CONCERT

MUSICAL PEOPLE PRESENT

Poiiishnoff, the Russian pianist, and Mr. Horace Stevens, a fine baritone singer, whose first concert took place at the Town Hall last night. In sipte of weather and the fact that the Town Hall is a very cold place, there was a large audience and many well-known ;people were present.
