C, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1888, OPERA HOUSE. Clie Mendelssolin Quintette cinb. In spite of the weather last night the above named superb concert company were greeted by a large audience, who were entertained by a delightful programme which was a treat to lovers of fine music. Since its last appearance the Club has been reorganized, but the changes have not detracted from the high standard it has heretofore main tained. They are all artists, and where each did so well it is hard to particularize. The opera opened with a quintette in B fiat, which was received with much applause. Miss Carpenter came next and sang The Flower Girl, and her execution was excellent. The flute solo by Herr. Philip Rodelberger was received with much delight, and the Oriental Rhapsodie by Herr Gustav Hille was the signal for long and repeated encores. Part first ended with this rhapsodie and this perhaps was the most en joyable of anything that preceded it, as was indicated by repeated recalls. Part second opened with a fantaisie for the clarionette by Mr. T. Ryan, and after this the audience would not be satisfied until he returned and performed another of his most popu- ar pieces. The'violoncello bolo, by Mr. Louis Blamenburg, was rendered most charmingly and the applause which greeted him could not fail to be grati- ying. The performance concluded with the "Moorish Serenade," and thus ended a concert which will always be remembered with pleasure by all who were present. Repeated encores attested the de ight of the audience, and the Club can feel assured of a warm welcome when they again visit our city. wtiur indications. The following are the indications for to-day, received atla.ui.: For North Carolina, South Caroli na and Georgia, fair weather, pre ceded by rain on the coast, light to fresh northwesterly winds, with a cold wave.

"Your committee recommend to the lodges that members who have here tofore been excluded for non-pay ment of dues may be re-instated to membership upon the pavment of such terms as the lodge may deter mine." "Your committee further recom mend that Masons of defunct lodges who were excluded for non-payment of dues maybe admitted to member ship, upon petition and ballot, as other cases of petition for member ship accompanied by a certificate of the Grand Secretary." The recommendations of the com mittee were adopted. The new officers-elect were install ed bv P. G. M.. Geo. W. Blount. On motion of Wrieht G.
