THALBERG AND VIEUXTEMPs.-- The Concert to The
Schools Yesterday-The Varieties theater presented
a most beautiful and animated spectacle yesterday
afternoon the occasion of the gratuitous concert
given TO the pupils of the First and Fourth District
Schools. The parquette, dress circle, and boxes,
were crowded by the girls in their gayest attire,
whilst the second tier and gallery crowded by
the boys. The Board Of School Directors and other
gentlemen invited, occupied the stage in circle of
honor around Thalbergs big piano. Thalberg played
several of his choicest pieces on the piano veux-
temps did likewise on his fiddle; and Miss Kemp
sang several English ballads-all to the most I'M
bounded delight of the juvenile audience. The boys
in particular were uproarions, and insisted upon a
repetition of everything until Vieuxtemps came out
to play +" The Carnival of Venice as announced in
the programme. The young rascals wouldn't have
the Carnival but shreked from all parts of the honse
for Yankee Doodle in its stead. The great fiddler
obigingly substituted the piece requested, and
gave it with all the exquisite variations for which he is
so famous and the boys were satisfied 1t was alto
gether wonderful to hear what quantity of whistle,
shrek, and what enormous percussion Of heel could
be drawn from crowd of small boys As the girls
could not indulge in the luxury of noisy applause we
could not tell what their particular preferences we're
if they had any We however heard young lady
exclaim to her companion as she came out, oh,
that Annie Kemp-isat she sweet u And this we
