The medal contest, closed Saturday night at Wolcott; Miss Grace Paxton winning the medul there. The other successful winners are M ; ss Maggie Leavel, here; Miss Eda Leavel, at Goodland; and Master Stevie Yeoman at Rensselaer. The Karger concert was one of the nr st enjoyable events of the season. It is very seldom that we are granted such a treat, and those who failed tn attend missed a good thing. Mr. Karger performed his nun be s with a professional skill that would do credit to a master. The vocal numLers were abo ve.iy fine, especially the one by Miss Maude Bowman, who Ims an exceedingly gooi voice which makes up in sweetness what it lacks in training. We hope we shall have the pleasure of hearing Mr. Karger again.
