JAMES G.. CLARK-HIs- CoEoERT.-Mr. j..
G. CLARK, the popular balladist, arrived in
this city yesterday morning. We learn that
he sings in gainesville tonight. A con-
cert to be given by him in Brainard's Hall
next Wednesday evening, has been already
announced. Having an engagement at In
dianapolis, he cannot at this time favor our
music-loving public with more than one
entertainment, but we trust he may find it
convenient soon to take Cleveland in his
route. Mr.. Clark never sang in this city,
but the press in eastern cities is so unani-
nous in praise of his unrivalled perform
ances, that there can be no doubt that his
reputation as a composer and ballad-singer
rests on a substantial foundation. We ex-
pect a crowded house on Wednesday night.
Tickets for reserved seats may be had now
at Brainard's music-store.
We clip the following notice of Mr.. C.
from the Erie Dispatch, of recent date:
Of Mr.. Clark's merits as a balladist, no
one who has ever listened to him but will
join with US in saying that they are equal to
those of any professional singer in the
country. His pieces are, with some few ex-
ceptions, ofhis own composition, both music
and words. Some of them nave reached a
world wide popularity, and will be Jung as
long as good music is appreciated. His
rendering of Rain upon the Roof is the
finest thing we ever listened to in the way
of ballad singing. His pieces were all
loudly applauded, particularly Minnie
MintOn," "The Voice of the Army" and
"My Maryland" Take it for all in all, we
do not believe there is any one in the pro
fession who is capable of putting as much
genuine music into two hours time as Mr..
Clark, and with SO perfect satisfaction to an
audience.
