THE MOZART SOCIETY. This popular and well con-
Quoted singing association, gave another of their
grand sorees on Thursday evening at their hall on
Lexington street. The room was well filled by a
discerning auditory, and the whole affair passed off
well. The choruses aided by powerful orchestra
were spendidy performed, and the solos, trios and
quartettes, executed in style purely artistic We
do not think that Summer" from the "Oratorio
of the Seasons, could have been more correctly de-
ivered. This society numbers over one hundred
members, who are generally attentive to the reher-
sails. Much to their credit. We understand they
intend closing their season with grand concert at
the New Assembly Rooms, to come off shortly.
