and the other parts Sig. yimenos, Maucini aud
Fczni. Wherever In the West this opera has
been produced, it has met with magnificent sue
cese, and The same Jurors which greeted It in
Buf1a1o, Albany and Cleveland, we believe awaits
here. In the latter city, the troupe were SO
cessful that By the request Of the opera soers an
extra rendering was given at an advanced rate,
which is something unusual in operatic history at
the cloee Of season.

MRs KLoss' CoNoEnT.-Mrs. Kloss gave her 1{th
classical concert last evening to very select and
nppreciatiye audience. The programme WAS one
Of the beet Of the season and was admirably rem
de.ed. BeethoGen's quatnor for piano and strings
has been heard here more that once before, and
was all the better appreciated that 1t was not al
together new. The beautiful andante, singular1y
suggestive OF Mozart's "BaA; BATH" was exquis-
itely given, as we'll as tie spirited Rindo, which
forms the finale. Nra. K1oss gave the curious
gfguc or jig Of Zach; the beautiful first song with.
out words Of NenEe1ssohn, the Impromptu In A
fiat OF Chopin and that Sonata Of Beethoven known
as "adieu the absence and tho retu1n.'' 1t Is uu-
necessary to say that they were well rendered. for
In such music Mrs. kloss las few equals and no
superior. In response to m cnthcsfnstJc encore
ehe gave spirited Conte1to Etude. hi. Lewis per-
formed in highly credltable manner the Violin
Concerto Of Eendelssohn, and was warmly applaud-
cd. The strineed Guartette Of Haydn containing
tho Austrian Hymu God eavc the Emperor was
given with fine effect BY Measrs. Fessel, Lewis,
Nuberger and Bala!ka. Take It all In all, the
concert was one Of tho best Of the season. The
last cons crt will be given On Saturday next
