THE Davenport Gazette says Ole Bull was
greeted BY an audience at the BUtis Ooera
House far exceeding expectation; and that
he has lost none of that miraculous power
over his wonderful instrument which he dis
played nearly a score of years ago. Rever-
SEES of fortune and domestic affections have
not overcome his devotion for his art. Per
haps he has been thrown upon it more fer
vently as a resource. Certainly his execu'
ton seems more matured, his passionate de-
livery intensified. 1t is noticeable that he
produces his own compositions, weird
grand, perfect as is this great old man him
self. He has long since mastered all the
capabilities of the violin, and gone beyond
the conceptions of his predecessors, essaying
now higher flights.
His appearance was greeted with the
warmest enthusiasm. Only at the close o.
the programme did he respond to an encore.
