at Nxon's Palace Of Music, which, considering tho
occasion, ought to have been specially free from

the opening of tie allegro, by the nstfention of the
musicians TO the conductors stick. Had they fol-
lowed lis movements for the first few barr, there
vond have been q musical emeute rivaling the po-
ltca MES Of the Nespolitan fisherman. Mr. susini,
both in the mir from Lucretia and that from "The
Somnambulis" made fragrant mistakes of time. He
led the orchestra by half measure in two instances,
faul, which under less lncky circumstances might
have caused great confusion since thirty musicians
in an orchestra cannot possibly accommodate them

remark that on the occasion in question, Miss Patti

Tie most compact audience nj NIbo's was on Tours
