The Great, the GRAND JyLLrEs, won fresh
laurels "Wednesday night. He expanded him.
self for the task before him, aud there was
superadded grace and complaisance IN the
manner in which he bore himself and exerted
his iniperious sway in the realms of music.
His OvERrUREs, his QrADRrLLEs, his Pol.
xAs. and his VALUES, were rendered with
all their peculiarities and with all the effect
which his unequalled band could give them.
No director nor no composer Of the day, has
originated such remarkable, ingenious and
captivating combinations of themes and
sounds. His Quadrille of the Great E1hibi-
tion,'-the Congress of all nations, in London
was striking illustration of his forte. So
was his "Katy Did" Polka. The London
chimes in the Great Exhibition" were We
ry happily introduced and the peculiar mu-
sic of the different nations, was admirable
especially the Spanish f" Sapatiedo," which
was exceedingly rich and spirited.
We cannot do justice to the exquisite solos
of WUrLLE, tClarionette,) HILL, Violin and
KGsIG, (Corneta-piston,l from La Sonnam-
bula.
The Quadrille of " Peter the Great was
rich and rare compositionsand was greatly
enjoyed the audience.
NJ. CoLLINET, the venerable musician who
u 1912 played for the Court Balls OF the
great Napoleon, was received with much ap-
plause. He gave to the feeble Flageolet

to possess. No other person of the time can
make it discourse such music as he can, and
we imagine none other ever viii. The Fla
eeolet and CoLLINET were made for each 9TH
er, and when Collinet dies the Flageolet will
be buried with him.
We have not room to enter into more mi
mute review of this superb Concert. TIE So
10 players all did themselves full Justice and
so many, of such great excellence, have ne
yer before been combined in one band in
this country. Md'lle ANNA ZERR won upon
the audience and was rapturously encored.
The great power of the company was
brought out in grand style in its warlike mi
micry, the Sleigh ride and other pieces. In
the Sleigh Ride we had "Jordan as a hard
road TO tracel' after such fashion as was
never before heard here. If it was mt given
with VIM, then we don't know what VIM is
Such blast of horns, such an outburst OF
flutes, clarionettes, and hautboys, such roar
of violins, such clang of bells, and drums,
and trumpets, has not been heard in this re-
gion before! There was an amount of wind
and catgut exhausted on the occasion, that
would have served the band, for ordinary
purposes, for more than six months! We
had both sides of Jordan-we had it strong
enough and deep enough to float every body
over! There was volume and force enough
in it to have borne navies along JULIEN

and they answered him-he summoned his
violins, and they came-he frowned upon his
drums and they thundered-he called spirits
from the vastly deep, and they were there
He smiled triumphently, and seemed to say
Here's Jordan for you; and you shall have
it to your hearts contentI" The audience
riottedin the excess of sound, in the rollick

this Jordan! We have little doubt the ech
