bly, Performed.

BOSTON, June II, 1859.
The excitement to. day increased to such surprs-
Ing degree that thousands actually refused ad
mission at the doors. Twenty-Five dollars was ac-
tually offered to spectators In tickets and orders
were sent to all the ticket oces to stop the sale Of
tickets for the rest Of the Jubilee The doors were
closed at the commencement Of the concert and even
some members Of the press could not gain admit
tance. There was no other alternative as over
co. 600 persons were in the building. Probably the
same number Of people crowded the adjoining
grounds. Can any stronger proof be given Of the
entire success OF the Jubilees very large proper
ton Of the audience were ladies.
FEW COMPLAINTS.
word regarding the acoustics of the Coliseum
They were considerably marred by the myriad BAN
ners suspended across the ROOT. and the sound was
to great extent muiileo by striking on The bunting
Some people were disappointed at the character OF
the body of sound which came from the chorus and
orchestra. They say that five hundred singers in
music hall in New York produce grander effect
They forget that the hearer at the Jubilee expert
ences the same feeling OF disappointment as
the visitor at St. Peters. Rome. The COM
plete harmony in detail of the immortal
Basilica and the colossal musical structure which
MI. Gilmore mas built up here Is something we do
not expect. The conductors stand is, however, too
low for the members OF the orchestra to be able
follow his baton with satisfaction, and the instru-
ments are not well located for sound The chorus
s in every Of the word, the best ever heard in
America.
THE PROGRAMME.

THE GRAND BALL.
grand ball was gwen In the Coliseum tonight.
The building lights up superbly, ana both inside
and outside the scene was very brilliant and
picturesque. Over three thousand gas Jets flung
lances OF light ten thousand devotees OF
Terpsichore, and the watchword OF the Jubilee
"Peace," shone In huge letters Of fire at one
end OF the platform. Harvey Dodwortn con-
Quoted the promenade band OF 100 performers with
his usual SKILL and 200 instruments responded the
gramme. The exquisite waltzes OF Strauss were
given In admirable manner, while hun
dreds Of tiny land otherwise) feet pattered
OH the huge floor responsive to each measure
As might be expected the ball was democratic
In character, and there was a complete freedom
In regard to costume. Still some OF the ladies
appeared in elegant ball toilet, and amid the throng
foreign ministers, state officials and army and
navy officers. At present writing the ball at its
height, and the scene Is one Of gaiety and enjoy
ment.
