BEETHOVEN MUSICAL JUBILEE.
Fourth Day-Madams Anna Bishops Triumph
Two Miscellaneous Programmes

Both chorus and audience begin to dwincle down.
ana the number OF empty benches In the Coliseum
becomes more painfully evident 40 the jubilee pro-
gresses This was the case yesterday afternoon, In
spite OF the excellence OF the performance which was
entirely satisfactory. Artiscally considered, there
Is little fault TO nnd with the jubilee; but In other
respects the mpossioIty or few managers. no
matter what their ability may be, to organize and
place In working order the numerous departments
OF such colossal undertaking In such short space
OF tme u evident from the chaotic
condition of each department. Still they
bravely struggle on against obstacles which would
appail any one, and deserve credit for their pluck
and perseverance. We hope that they will be able
TO carry the enterprise through successfully to the
end. The programme In the afternoon commenced
with the NTH symphony Of Beethoven. and ended
with the ''Soldiers' Chorus" from "Faust.u Mmo.
Anna Bishop woke up the enthusiasm OF the audience
to the highest pitch by her noble, artistic rendering
OF the air, "with verdure C,ad.'' from the "Crea.
ton." Every note OF her FULL thrilling highly Guilt
waited voice told in the vast building with an
effect that few artists even OF high repute
could hope to produce. Time has laid O
light hand upon this lady whose stage
career dates back to artists whose voices are
now hushed forever But yesterday the lustre Of
her genius was undimmed, and she exercised the
same magnetic attraction over the audience as OF
yore. Brignot repeated his former success. and
sang "ll MILO Tesero," from "Don Gtovanni;i "Ahl
Mia Letitzia," from ~ Lombardi" and "M'Appari,"
from "Martha," with all the characteristic sweet
ness and expression OF his beautiful voice. The
conductors were Gilmore, Rosa, Pech, Bergman and
Zerrahn. The "Anvil Chorusn was a great feature,
as before. In the evening the programme consisted
OF the hrst part OF Mende ss0hns sublime ofatorlo,
elijah" and a few choice selections OF miscella-
neous character.
