BEETHOVEN MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
sixth Day-Clo.e Of the Jubilee.


There were many exceedingly interesting features
at both concerts yesterday. The attendance was
very small In the afternoon, although there were
some OF the strongest attractions OF the entire fest
val brought out on that occasion. The singing OF
che Sunday school children was admirable. Their
fresh young voices produced deeper impression on
the minds OF the audience, although this impression
was not vsioy expressed than the combined efforts
OF the operate and other choruses. Their selections
however, were rather monotonous and III chosen for
such an occasion. The concert commenced with the
FRA Diavoo' overture, which was given with
remarkable spirit and brlliancy under the direction
OF Gilmore. Carl Rosa next led HaydnS well
known string variations the "Austrian Ma.
tlonal Anthem" which, however was ineffective,
on account OF the weakness OF the force
that followed his baton. The overture TO 'Der Frels
ohutz was much better, and Mr.. Rosa achieved a
success ny ms spirited handling OF the or
Chorus" with all Its sensational effects was re-
Peated, and excited the usual enthusiasm. Miss
Kellogg sang the norid potacca, from oPuritanin
with all that pearly distinctness and purity OF tone
which tell 30 well In those light, graceful Italian
melodies and that she possesses TO such an eminent
degree In the "Miserere' and duo from "Poliuto,
she was assisted by Slgnor Lefranc and repeated
her former triumphs IN both selections.

Parepa. Rosa and Brignoll To the former, what
whole-and that II has been successful up 10 a GER
tain point In spite OF many drawbacks incidental.
perhaps 10 an initial affair OF such magnitude. hur
riedy organized, there can be no dispute-ls mainly
dus.s,o Que, HIS appearance has always been the
tion on the part OF the audience ana
those great effects produced under the direction OF
his baton, have been the events OF the FESTIVAL
which elicited the warmest popular admiration.
Regarded thus by the test OF public appreciation
Gilmore has been the inspiration OF whatever OF en-
thuslasm the AFFAIR has evoked. and Ia this added
fresh trlunphs TO reputation already, however
sufficiently establ shed. Last night was but repe.
titon OF the experience OF former days as far a.
this great leader was concerned, Juen's "QuadrIle
OF All Natlonsn the 'Star Spanged Banner'i ana
the "Anvil Chorus" being given by him with
all the novel accompanments tnat have made them
snch favorltes. The customary encore followed IN
each case. Parepa- Rosa and Brgnoli, OF course
could NOT but sing WELL the wonderful voice OF the
former being heard clearly and sweetly In ali parts

by Miss McCuoch and Signor Brgnol
conrasted IN this with Parepa's more piercing tones.
As In the other parts OF the programme IN Which IL
found opportunity, 1t called forth the warmest to-

disturbance OF the air as would render the trans.

dllcuy. Here Is an interesting matter for scientific
discussion.
