compshmens. in competition for the prizes prepared
for tho occasion The general pub'e did not seem to
share In the vivid interest fet by the Ger An portion of
our society for the house not nearly wei filed
on Monday evening, although the audience on lis
occasion very large. We can ony say thas the
general public missed an enjoyment tlae may not ne
offered again for years To come -
The concert last night literally trial OF skill.
The societies had prepared themselves for It, by careful
and arduous practice, Each knew that at least IN
some quarters the competition WOuu DC hhnfPt 'hae

would be severely critical inasmuch as the contrasts
by comparison would be very keenly defined, and that
The taste Of the auditors would thereby quickly decide
the question Of relative excellence. Under such cir
cunsancss, it Is needless TO say tnat each society
stroye to do It's best and the result was unqueston
ably the finest music Of its class overheard IN New
York. go
