pianist having preceded her debut, the room v(4B
crowded by a very fashionable audience.
The concert commenced with a pianoforte 501°'
" Where the bee sueks" (Benedict), by Miss Sate
Gordon, who did full justice to this exquisite cowls/.
sition. It was not until the second part commenced
that Miss Kate Gordon's skill and taste were refill,
observable, when, with .Mr. Oito Booth on the
violin, was given that grand sonata No.
in C minor, op. 3, from. Beethoven. Her ert
quisite touch and taste were fully brongb
out, and elicited for her well-merited apPlacs,e:
giving her the assurance that the first !Deiced
musicale may safely be fcaln wed by a so°
and a third. The Fantasie solo, violin, by Herd
Otto Booth, was favourably received. Madam
Weiss, Miss Mina Poole, and Mr. L. Walker sayo.
their several songs with their usual skill, and wett
received as old favourites generally are. This 6.,r130
concert of Miss Gordon's may be pronouuneue,
success, and we understand that a second is to v
place in a few weeks. •
