Inc Philharmonic Society concluded the per-
tormances of Its first season on Saturday evea-
ing. The success which has attended the efforts
OF the musicians who compose the active
workers of the society has been most gratifying
ana such performances as they have given
during the present season cannot fail to have
beneficial effect in cultivating taste for the
best music The audiences have increased at
each concert, and there has been decided i'm
proyement In the performances
The last concert of the season was given on
Saturday evening, and attracted n full house.
Mozarts Symphony in T. fat, No. 3, was given
in excellent style by the orchestra, under the d-
rection of Mr.. Dietrich ard each OF the move
ments were heartily .applauded.
The second part of the programme was
opened by Miss Aide Topp, who performed a
concerto by Weber with n brlliancy of execu-
ton that excited the enthusiasm of the audience.
Miss Topp Is decidedly the finest lady pianist
that has appeared in this city for many years;
and although she has been before the public but
o short time, she has already made a first-class
reputation. Miss Topp's performance received a
deserved encore.
Mr.. Rudolph Hennig gave an exquisite vlolon-
cello solo, and Miss. Topp then performed a
voluntary of much beauty. The Young Manner
chor, under the direction of Mr.. William Hart
man, sang with fine effect the chorus entitled
"Die Geister Schlacht," and the concert con-
cluded with Rossini's overture to William Tell
by the orchestra.
