THE JU RILEE.
All Boston Jubilant-The Second
DayOf the Hubbub-The Recep-
tiOn Of President Grant,
and a High Old Time.
The Performance in the
Coliseum.

sreat festival brought with it new sensation.
President Grant arrived here early this morning,
Accommodated by Generals Bates and Underwood,
of Governor Clafflin's staff. He was met at the
depot by his Honor the Mayor and the City Com
mittee and was driven in an open barouche to
the st. James Hotel At 81 the Boston School
Regiment was reviewed by the President. At
1920 the President was driven to the State
House in barouche drawn by six horses. The
carriage was fanl1ed by guard of cavalry. At
the State House the usual speech-making
and hand-shaking was gone through
with, and the President was then
escorted to the Boston Highlands, where he re-
viewed about eight thousand troops under com
mand of Major-General b. +. Butler. At the
Coliseum, meanwhile, the rehearsal for to-day's
concert took place. 1t was reported early this
morning that the crowd to-day at the Coliseum
would be immense, and report in this instance
proved 10 be true; for at o'clock, the time
for the beginning of the concert the vast edi-
flee was perfectly jammed. There must have been
fully 10000 people present. Shortly after three
the President and Admiral Earragut and staffs
entered the building Mr.. ZeF-ahn gave the sig
nal, and the full chorus and orchestra performed
"See the CoRquring Hero Cones, the audience
cheering most enthusiastically. After this nine
cheers were given for the President amidst
waving Ol naDelhcTCHlels, ITehAdenJ GranU, Dy
the way, waving one of the largest handier-
chiefs in the crowd. When quiet had been re-
stored, the days programme began with Nicolai's
Festival Overture, based on Luther's choral, "a
strong castle is our Lord" performed by the
chorus orchestra, and organ, under the baton of
Mr.. Zerrahn, who was the conductor for the
day.
The overture, a splendid work, was finely
rendered, especially the Introductory eLOrus
This was followed by two choruses from the
Messiah, GLORY to God in the highest" and
the glory of the Lord The effect of these
masterpieces of choral composition was superb
and have never been surpassed in the world.
Miss Phillips next made her appearance and
was cordially received. She sang an aria from
Mozarts Clemenzd di Tito, with accompan-
ment of a small orchestra, and 1t is but just to
say that it was done exceedingly well.
The chorus next sang "IIe Wateheth Over
Israel" from Mendelssohn's Elijah, in an ad-
mirabe manner. The pianos and forteG were
observed finely. In fact, the rendering of this
composition was superb.
This was followed by Nine. Parepa-Rosa's
singing of 'Let the Bright Seraphim," with
trumpet obligato, by Mr. Arbuckle. This
performance elected great applause, and an
encore was insisted and given.
During the repetition of this piece photo
: grapher took picture of the audience, or rather
a part of the audience, including that section in
which the President sat.
The first part of the programme was then con-
cluded with Handel's 'See the Conquering Hero
Comes" the Introductory duet being sung by
thirteen sopranos and twelve altos.
The first part being finished, President Grant
was conducted to the conductors stand, and
immense cheering followed, while the guns sta
tI,a 81 A. rz1s.o
the electrical apparatus in the building.
After this Mr.. Gilmore took the baton, amidst
much applause, and at the general request of
the public repeated the "Star Spangled Banner
and the anvil Chorus" These were performed,
has in yesterdays programme, with cannon
obGgato, and the firemen beating the one hun
dred anvils with admirable precision. The great
popularity of Verdi was shown in the over
whelming and almost deafening applause which
followed the "Anvil Chorus" President Grant
Joining with will in the signs of appreciation.
D.. :, 49, '''stic call for an encore there
was no resisting, and the repv'st" was s''on
amidst even greater applause than before
The extra performances and the greas anxiety
OF the spectators to catch occasional glances of
the President, prolonged the performance con-
siderably beycnd the time originally intended
for it; and it became necessary to curtail the
programme somewhat. Instead, therefore, of
the entire symphony of Schubert's, only two
movements-the andante con motto and the
Afnale-were played. The andante was
Z 3doubtedly the best played of the two. As
whole, however, the symphony failed to make
hny impression, owing partly to the length of
he programme and partly to the enthusiasm
preceding its performance; for, as you know,
after every storm there is a calm. This was fol-
81 lowed by "The marvellous works from Haydn's
Creation," and the concert then concluded with
The Heavens are Telling" Both these pieces
were finely rendered, the solo in each being
given by the following series of gentlemen

tyen greater than on Tuesday.

Fowd of people. 1t is estimated that more than
