The Revolt; March and Chorus Ball Scene; Grand
Polonnaise. Mr.. Rosa played the concerto in a su
perb manner, and Mr.. Pease made a favorable
impression with his work, although he played
| only the two last movements. Madame Rosa
sang the most difficult and touching OF Beethoven's

selection was received with tumnltuous applause,
and the magnificent work OF Meyerbeer received due
attention at the hands OF the orchestra and the Berge

proper spirit shown by the directors Of our numer-
vocal societies there would be no reason to com

may be given In this city In style equal to any other
part OF the world The orchestra, one hundred
