FRIDAY'S CONCERT

which was a bumper, every available seat being occupied
though not inconveniently. The overture this evening
was by Herold, " Le Pre aux Clercs," and was followed
by a quadrille by Jullien, " Belisario," from Donizetti's
opera. Miss Dolby next gave an aria, " Elena! oh tu,
ch'io chiamo," from Rossini's " Lady of the Lake," very
beautifully. A polka from " La Figlia del Reggimento,'
played for the first time, and a very effective composition,
was followed by a solo, in which Mons. Baumann shewed
what music can be drawn, by the aid of vast practice no
doubt, from the bassoon. Miss Dolby again selected a
beautiful English ballad, " Smile, Mary, my Darling,"
which was one of her triumphs. The Swiss Quadrille, of
which we have spoken above, concluded the first part.
The second part commenced with a selection from
" Sonnambula,' with solos for the flute, elarionet, and
cornet-a-piston, which were beautifully executed by
Richardson, Sonnenberg, and Koenig. A beautiful valse
a deux temps, by Koenig, followed ; after which, Miss
Dolby again delighted the audience with " the Swiss
Girl," which, as on the former night, was encorced.
The andante Haydnn's " Surprise Symphony" was next
performed ; and, after a solo on the contra basso, by
Mons. Anglois, the concert concluded with Kcenig's new
polka, " the Eclipse."
In remarking upon these most successful concerts, we
ought not to omit paying a tribute of praiso to the mem-
bers of the band generally for their efficiency throughout.
