Gratifying success.

Gratifying success.
Last evening the opening OF the NAH OF iectuie
room or the new building OF the Young Mems GIFTS.
tan Associatton--a full description OF winch rs
given IN the HERALD OF yesterday-was MADE one
occasion for grand subscription concert. Alth'ngh
the tickets OF admission were sold at five Collars
apiece Ions before the hour fixed for tie COM
mencement OF the concert every seat in the
place was occupied, and when 1t did commence
standing room could scarcely be had FOR love er
money, or Doth combined. Indeed, no better idea
can be had OF the OF the concert than that
the proceeds derived from the sale OF the tickets
gave the association sufficient funds to pay or the
debt on the organ and the piano which were used
during the evening.
The programme was certainly long enough, ana
as wcl selected as could have been desired by
the most fastidious OF the lovers OF good
music. 1t opened with an overture and
nocturne from midsummer Nights Dream" by
Mendeissohn, Mr.. Henry Eyre Browne at the organ.
Ronconi, with the inevitable cavatina, ''Lago eli
Factotum," py Rossini followed. when MISS Nettie
Sterling sang 'Morgen Gruss" by Mendelssohn. and
..Ich Grolle Nlchtn by Schumann. The remainder
or the programme was as follows:--Solo, piano,

1t Is almost needless to state that Miss Kellogg
was greeted with enthusiasm by the audience. she
was as matter OF course, the attraction OF the con.
cert but her selection from 'Romeo ct Jullette,"
although IL gave her every opportunity to show the
lull power and range OF her voice, was not as much
rellsned as was ner inimtaDle rendering OF Coming
through the Rye which she gave on being encored
The duo "VOgas Tonic Benedetta' was very sweetly
sung by Miss Kellogg and Miss Sterling, and ia
Florajan sung by the former, decidedly her best
effort during the evening, although 1t must be said
that the delicouSy cOquettish way she warbled the
'Maiden Far" accompanying herself on the piano
at the same time) could not have been exceed

The overture from ssStradellau was given
on the organ by DR.. William Berge under whose

brilliant manner Mr.. Morgans execution OF

parts OF the evenings entertainment. The concert
