skilful rendering OF the programme a general
expression OF satistacton-these were the points
to be remarked last night. Mr.. Jean Louis, as
the leading spirit of this fine musical organiza-
top has occasion to feel proud of the results of
his labors, which have not been small. The
chorus OF the Society sang to prove their careful
drilling, and stamp them as the leading musical
society OF this city. Carl Sentz's fine orchestra
told to great advantage in this well-balanced
attraction with it.
Messrs. Habelmann, Harkins sartori and
Thunder were vociferously applauded in their
solos, and there was the best feeling shown to
the performers by the audience. The city owes
much to this association, which by their
efforts raise the standard of musical cultivation
among their members, and thus disseminate a
pure taste throughout the community. This is
most auspicous opening of the season Of this
energetic and enteTprising society.
