THE BLooMER PEDESTRIAN. = On mixed
trip, say fourth on business and the balance
in fun, We found ourselves on Thursday, as the
Arsenal bell struck for feeding time, timing the
Bloomcr on her mile, and very respectable time
she can make when she chooses to put both her
best legs foremost. Yesterday, however, from
some reason best known to herself, she did not
put in her best licks, but although seemingly
walking slow, she passed into her little snug
gerry under the sixteen minutes.
During our stay, she did not dazzle our optics
with her richest dress, but walked in palmer
dress, although strictly in accordance to the
Bloomcr doctrines. Marine blue tunic, with
first buff and then white silk trousers, Ia
Trgue, neat gaiter boots, and white hat trim
med with pink ribbon. She carefully concealed
her face under black veil; and when pryinp
eyes came too near the ropes, she pulled one OF
her fifty ringlets across her face, so as to rem
der identification at such moment impossible.
Taken altogether in the abstract, this feat Of
the Bloomer is rather o tall and curious pro-
cccding.-iS Louis ReyeiVe, Oct. Is.

"Miss Greenfcld's concert last evening filed
Townsend Hall to overfowing with ono Of the
most fashionable audiences of the season. and
her songs were most enthusiastically applauded
and encored. She has truly wonderful voice; !;
and the manner in which she sang some of her
pieces was indeed surprising, considering the
comparatively small amount Of cultivation she
has had"
The Express observes that Parodi and her as
| sociates had sung in the same hall on Monday
evening ''to half house" and adds:
"Jenny Lind has never drawn better house,
as to character, than that which listened, with
evident satisfaction, to this unheralded and al
most unknown African Nightingale. Curiosity
did something for her, but not all. She has
merit-yery great merit; and, with cultivation,

yocalists Of the age. She has q voice of great
sweetness and power, With wider range from
the lowest to the highest notes than we have
listened to; fcxibiity is not wanting, and her
control Of it is beyond example for new and
