that the Harmonic Association, lately established
in our city, will give its third soiree time next
month. The very large, refined and tasteful au-
dience which met at Odd Fellows Hall on Thurs

cultivated public in the performances of this
citation. It is composed Of the best professional
and amateur talent in the city, Mr.. Theodore Won
La Hache being musical director, and Mr.. Thomas
Grips assistant musical director. The pro-
gramme on Thursday evening last consisted of
selections from sacred and operate music, which
We're executed by the instrumental and vocal per-
formers in the grandest style. The chorus, con-
sisting Of upwards of hundred ladies and gentle
men, was the most effective we have ever heard !;
Gloria IN ErceIsis, from Lindpaintsr's 'sCorona-
ton Mass and some other pieces, were performed
with sublime effect. ii a rgF+~
| The next soiree will probably be given with
grand orchestra, and the musc-loving community
should not fail to give hearty support to the
society. They ought to subscribe at once, and
can do so at No. 10 Carondelet street. We
informed by the president that the constitution
and bylaws are in the hands of the printer.
