Each succeeding effort appears TO excite
, increased applause. and he fairly captiyate,
his eager auditors with the brilliancy VI hi,
style. The feelings Of the listeners appea,
to respond in perfect unison with the me
lodious vibrations Of his instrument, which
thrill the soul with ecstacy No other per
formance has ever produced the same emo

rare artists who make US feel the shooting
and poetic influence Of music, long after the

and We with hundreds Of others do homa 70
to his great skill.
Madam Strakosch is = favorite of ours
and judging by her enthusiastic reception,
she is.equally SO with all who have witness
ed her performances. With great seienc.
and execution. she Possesses melodious
voice, and IS withal modest and unostenta-
tious-A rare virtue with even modern ar
lists. She has a graceful figure and pleas
ing face, and with her delicate and uuas-
suming manners, is really captivating. On
Tuesday evening she sang the beautiful
Scotch ballad Of Comm through the rye.
| and such was the intense stiffness that the
gentlest sigh might have been heard
When she ceased she was greeted with rap
turous applause from the overlooking feel
inRs Of her auditors.
Madam larodi also sang with much If
feet, but not understanding u syllable VI
Italian. We were unable 10 appreciate her
efforts, though she warbled and trilleI
with exceeding sweetness.
The balance Of the troupe, with the gen
tlemanly and accomplished Strakosch. did
their parts well and effectively, and recciv
ed their due share OF praise
