The ITALIAN CONCERT AT TRIPLER HALL
Tonight another OF those rich musical festivals
which have lately delighted our community, will
be given in Tripler Hall for the benefit OF the tia
liam refugees. To ParOdi, we believe, the exies
for Liberty's sake are indebted for this generous
idea; but the readiness and unanimity with which

our ears, and we trust there viii be an overflow
ing attendance. We need only mention the
names of Parodi, Bertucca, Patti Borghese, mo

Whiting Strakosch, Miska Hauser, Lorini, Bene-
ventano and Novel, to indicate the richness and
variety of the entertainment. Let every one 60

a perfect seam 1t is an admirable piece OF
mechanism.
