"TERRsA AT IRvN0.-A large audience, dis
tinguished for Its high social and intellectual
qualities, witnessed Teresa CarIe debut last
night at Irving Hall. Not once in hundred
years can such on audience be gathered for n
like purpose. A sprightly girl of eight years
wrought such miracles Of music upon the piano,
as to evoke the most rapturous enthusiasm al
frst,-then, when the truths of the case presents
ed themselves more clearly, and the realization
Of her extreme youth increased, sense of pro.
found astouishment seized every spectator
Could it be possible that fingers just freed from
sporting with dolls and toys be capable of pro.
ducing chords Of such sensitiveness, runs nnd
trills of such delicacy and finish The intellec
struggled against what the senses averred, but
eyes and ears finally triumphed. We are called
upon to record an unqualified endorsement of all
that has been told or published of the strang,
musical gift Of Teresa. In Nooturne, by Dosh
/ ler, Thalberg's "Home. sweet home" and Colts
, chalk's "Bananier," she exhibited the mos
, wonderful comprehension of the ideas, and EN-
poyed the resources Of the instrument witt
singular skill"
