and Countess Abingdon, not one star could we perceive
amid the holiday throng: The concert took place at
'four o'clock in the Sheldonian Theatre, which was coin-
pletely filled, slid presented a very imposing spectacle.—
Th e selection was somewhat heavy. Upwards of three
thousand persons were present, but we could not perceive
