Boston, June H.
Crowded as was yesterdays concert at the
Coliseum, IL was nothing compared to the almost
incalculabe mass of human beings assembled
there to-day. 1t is estimated that to-day's as
eemby numbered fully 80, 900, aud should say
this is rather under than overrated In fact, so
great was the rush that shortly after o'clock 1t
became necessary to close the doors and refuse
admittance to all comers after that time. l have
been informed that the receipts of yesterday,
exclusive of season tickets, were $720 900. If so
(and do not doubt it, by any means) to-day's
receipts must have been over 100000.
There were fully ten thousand people refused
admittance, even with tickets. In short, so
crowded was the Coliseum that, to use a popular
expression you could not drop pin. The heat
in the galleries was almost insupportable,
although the building is excellenty ventilated.
Many ladies tainted and il was with the utmost
exertions that they could be removed from the
building. through the colossal mass of human
beings.
This throng of to-day was partly owing to its
being a holiday, the anniversary of the Battle of
Bunker HILL and partly because the programme
was a popular one, made up chiefly of such
pieces as are well known to everybody who has
music in his soul append you the programme
for perusal:-

Mr.. Gilmore was the conductor for the day,
and it is but just to say that he performed his
task exceedingly we'll His appearance in the
orchestra was the signal for considerable enthu-
siasm.
The overture to Fra DiauoIO, which opened
the days programme, was played gloriously; the
opening drum solo was beaten by about thirty
drummers while the fifty trumpeters performed
the solo in the beginning of the allegro admi-
rably, especially the second time Enthusiastic
applause was bestowed upon the performers of
the overture.
Luther's Judgment Hymn" received ample
justice from the hands, or rather the lungs, of
the chorus. 'The Grand Peace March" COM
posed for this occasion (and we hope played for
this occasion only by Signor Janotta, is exceed
ingiy trashy. IL is poor, we may safely say Il
very poor, imitation of Meyerbeers Coronation
March, from The Prophet, aud though it was
well enough played by the orchestra aud band
numbering some eleven hundred performers,
failed to make any impression whatever. Let
us have peace" and not be Obliged to hear such
trashy compositions. In the original programme
for the festival it stated that this march was
to be written by some European composer; why
Signor Janotta was selected we cannot conceive.
Where were Messrs. Eichberg, Koppitz, G. f.
Bristow, Fairlamb, and others too numerous to
mention
Robert toi que Jaime, gave Madame Parepa-
Rosa fine opportunity to display her wonderful
voice-in short, the only voice that could
have been found in America to fill this vast cd-
fee. The accompaniment, though well played
by a small orchestra suffered somewhat from
the want of one or two harps, for which Meyer
beer had written it originally Madame Rosas
effort was warmly applauded.
Then followed Verdis "Anvil Chorus" given,
as before with chorus, orchestra, anvis, and
cannon. The effect was tremendous, as it
always is, and an encore was demanded and
promptly given. So great is the desire to hear
this popular piece and the national air, 'The
Star-Spangled Banner, that it has been resolved
to introduce these two naorceduC into every pro-
gramme. 'VOT popuLi, COZ muadt."
Converses "Overture Triomphale, on Hail
Columbia" was next on the programme. Its
construction shows clever musician, and we
consider the overture fine work, though in
some parts it is rather draggy. 1t opens with an
dnddnte in common time, changing to Ga; this
is followed by an allegro ala breUe, in which
some of the modulations rather queer. A
short POGO memo follows, and then the chorus
sings Hail Columbia, with artillery accompa-
niment. With this the work ought to close, for
this part is really immensely effective. But the
rather lessons the effect of it, The overture
created marked impression, and received con-
siderable applause.
The second part opened with Bilse's 'Grand
March," played by the full band. 1t was well
given, though the tempo was too slow.
Then followed the ''Star-Spangled Banner,
Nine. Parepa-Rosa singing the solo after the
first sixteen bars. In the last verse Nine
Parepa- Rosa held out long tlat Gin which key
the air was sung), and it was truly wonderful
how the note was heard above the chorus o
10000, the band of 100, the organ and the
cannon. The effect clectrifying; the
audience cheered and insisted upon repetition
which was given.
Mr.. Arbuckle next played II trumpet solo
finely. He has good tone, aud plays with con
siderable expression.
''The Harp that Once Through Taras Halls
was next sung by the full chorus very nicely.
Flotow's overture to St,dlelLd was then per
formed by reed band of 500 and but for somt
unruly piccolos and flat clariOnettes, was wei
given and received good share of applause
The concert then concluded With the One Hun
dredth Psalm, given by chorus organ, orchestra
