The CONCERT AT WILLARDs' HALL last evening

but there was no lack of interest on the mart of h
Performers on that account The Mendelssohn
tlulntette Club is well known all over New Enc
ana, ana elsewhere, more particularly among
nrstclass musical artists. The performances of
tnls company are unlike anything that we have
heard In this city, and nothing in the wav of
musical entertainment can be more delip htful

is with the club on their trip; and last evening
she surprised the audience by her chaste and elss
CANT rendering of some of the finest musical seIec,
lions That we have ever listened to There ia 2
funess and breadth of tone in her voice altogether
remarkable and to this power she adds a perfsc
ton OF ARTISTIC style unsurpassed by any artist who
has preceded her here. All her pieces vere
strongly applauded last evening She has made =
decided mark here. This evening the club will
give the second and last concert here and we
nope the opportunity to her hear will not be lost
by our citizens.
