pairing for concert, which will be
given on Thursday night of next

superior, to anything of the kind pre-
viously given in the city.
The Concert will consist of Solos.
Duets, Trios, Quartettes. and
Choruses, inwhieh the entire Society,
aided by the Crescent City Band and
Prof. Sehriber's Orchestra, will take
part. Macy of the operate Choruses
