his first appearance on this occasion as pianist
with what measure Of success may be judged by
the hearty applause which followed his perform
ance OF krug's Fantasia, or "When the Swallows
Homeward Fly"
Miss Reyes was the special attraction Of the
evening. She has voice Of remarkab le purity,
flute like in quality, and shows good culture. She
was frequently encored. Miss Hopkins is pleas
ing young lady and pretty finger. She makes
no pretensons as professional singer and only
appeared in this concert at the earnest solicita-
ton Of the managers of it yet she had hearty
reception, and was warmly appauded at each APP
pearance.
The concerted pieces played on this occasion
were very well done, though they lacked precis-
ion. More rehearsng, with view to attaining
accuracy in the tempo would have been an 10
improvement
We thank Messrs. Emerson and Whitney for
this entertainment Neither they nor those asso-
caied with them make any claim to emnence as
musicians. Content to perform their music IN
modest and sincere way, they gave US an evening
foil Of the concord Of sweet sounds and we are
glad to know that their efforts were SO Justly APP
preciated. Shall We not,have more Of these quiet
and pleasant musical sittings
