PROVIDENCE r l., June 81, 1865.
We have had music enough to-day to satisfy meo-
maniac, and heat enough to inspire us with serious
doubts the actual latitude and longitude Of this
city Beethoven and Wagner have done the honors or
matinee; Meyerbeer szt and host Of lesser umina-
ries have made the night vocal and the dog star has
ragged with what the oldest nhabitant declares to be
unprecedented persistence. The extreme warmth
of the weather has exered no beneficial influence
tho treasurers receipts, for the concert room,
winch Is by no means a mammoth one, was
to-day barely filed wohrds OF its capacity Had not
tho gathering Of dsaati by their good and cnthu-
siasm atoned for scarcity of numbers the participants in
the musical convention would have had cause to Obj
to the specimen OF tropical climate with which they
being favored. As II is however. the pecunisry
results Of the festival declared to be satisfactory
enough and the applause has been quite literally be-
slowed each and all of the societies represented in the
convention one complains.
This evening the third concert brought to close the
musical portion of the festival although to morrow at
grand farewell picnic which Will take place ten
or twelve miles beyond the city, six hundred sturdy
singers clustering around their leader hill top will
carol forth Mendessohn's "Uunte.s Farewell" and
Morschwcrs Union song to the ati1eaton Of the sixty
thousand inhabl ants OIL Providence, who present or ab
sent, will do their best catch the strains which
tho townsmen hope will be waited ctyward upon the
breeze As the realization of this last mentioned hope
is ut best DOUBTFUL IL Is beloved tat the glthering at
Rocky Poin will be immense

Mendelssohns overture was the most appropriate Of the
instrumental morcsaWr, many Of which seemed some

of the vocal portion Of the entertainment much favor

press the opinion that the selection Of less dismal
pieces would have made the programme more
ENJOYABLE; To day the Lisderkranz society, ropre-
whom figured Mr. stems, whose admirable baritone
voice has often been heard and spplauded In Now
York, carried of the honors OF the matinee. An enhu-
