In the Steeple Chase to-day at Shrewsbury, I think Gleika
will just be able to turn the tables on Maria Agnes, and avenge
the Aintree defeat. Donzetti ran so game at Liverpool as to
entitle him to every confidence for the Column. For the
Monktnoor HandWap, GiCell9on is likely to be first home ; and,
•for the Copeland Nursery, I cannot see anything so`much to
my fancy as Ben Webster. . . "FISHEADIAN.,"

THE LATE SCIIILLERFEST.

TO TTIE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMF9.
DEAR Sin,.—l was one of the fortunate participators
in the Sehillerfest on Thursday evening last, and feel
strongly that the occasion Warrau.ts a few remarks besides
a mere review of the proceedings. In the first place it is
a lesson to us, that may, be useful when we wish to
celebrate any of our national poets, that a mere gather-
ing of numbers is
.not the way to produce enjoyment.
There were upwards of six, hundred of the most re-

spectable people to•be•found iu or about Liverpool made

happy, or at least contented, by the efforts of •a few
young men, who gave the public a treat by letting them
hear songs which they hear themselves every week at
their private meetings. This was the foundation of the
fest ; but upon it a more demonstrative structure was
.raised, by the co-operation of the various "con-ails. and
other gentlemen who took such an active part in carry-
ing out the noce3sary :arrangements, The whole
. success of the affair has plainly arisen from the fact
that all the promoters were men of taste per-
haps various'in degree, but still men of taste—work-

inn well. together;. and the . degree had a very high
range, for I doubt much if I ever heard a finer or
.more feeling niusician.than Ilerr.Weingartner, and it is
a compliment to the audience to Say that they appre-
ciated it, for his playing is of that Sort which really
requires knoWledge, and true musical perception, to
understand all its beauty. His execution is something
marvellous, for in the, most rapid passages there was a
precision and delicacy which gave a value to every note.
Precision seemed to be the reigning feature throughout
the whole of the concert, for not a stray note was heard,
not a vole .; unduly prominent ; and in the beautiful
bass solo, with humming accompaniment, it would have
been difficult to single out any one singer as the source
of the sound, excepting Herr Maas, the solo, who would
shame many professional voices either in tenor or bass,
for we saw him at both ends of the circle at different times.
The elocution was praiseworthy, but can never in a public
meeting be expected to become so -popular as good music.
Then the tableau was an admirable conclusion, a coinposi-

tion of living figures awakened out of Schiller's works to

crown their creator. The ball then took place in the
'same room, after the company had partaken of Mr.
Morrish's viands, in the long corridor below—a capital
arrangement—and, with the excellent provisions, pro-
ductive of immense satisfaction. One good feature in
the dancing was, that the steward stood in the centre of
the room, and kept it clear during the round dances,
whilst.he beat time, as a guide for the band, who, how-
ever, deserve every pulse for their excellence: - During
the ball the great hall was thrown open. and the singers

kindly ascended the platform, by desire, and sang two
beautiful choruses, in the midst of which an interesting

scene occurred, by the teeeipt of a telograph from Dres-

den, saying that at that moment the Schillerfest
.in
Germany was at its highest, and very successful—a
friendly recognition of our foreign efforts, which was
received with loud cheers: The main thing I would
direct attention to, after all this, is, that the ball

was a private one; that it was a splendid success, and
that it has broken the ice which kept our beautiful little
concert-room hitherto JgckecLup,_,We hope for many
more.such events.—Yours respectfully, .W. S.
