ing efforts, which, if of no other virtue,
tend to refine the public taste torhealthier
and nobier pursuits to support society.
But the "Bell" was presented, and
has given satisfaction TO the public.
The choruses, numbering about thirty,
nave shown careful and deligent train
ing, sustaining most tremendously the
different characters of the piece, There
was throughout time and precision OBJ
served, an 'intricacy" which now and
again is sadly neglected by many
of our professional Interpreters. We
rave heard the Cincinnati Munuachor
render their choruses-bY b way, a So
ciety ranking high in the musical world
and we assert no mere than what can be
proven when we say the choruses sung
Thursday night contrasted very favora-
bly,. The V" Fire Chorus was, in
deed, quite a success, and must
have satisfied the most critical dis
posed. The audience was pleased
with the effort pleased with the rendition.
Herculean is the task for an amateur to
do justice to the master solo, and Mr..
Boyle may congratulate himself upon
the success he gained. Miss Guyton sang
very sweetly the solo charged with, and
but the regret was uttered that it was no
longer. She promises to be a bright light
among the Philharmonics. Mrs. Mason
and Goodman sang very nicely and earned

the solo soprano, Mrs. Heating. Her
name in musical circles means de-
light, and for her long absence from the
musical boards the warmer a wei
come greeted her. The audience, unable
to express it, while the Belle" was pro-
crossing, in most E%apturous applause,
send those feelings home to her, when
she appeared with that gem of songs,
waiting" She could scarcely have
failed to notice the enthusiasm. The in
spiration of the poesy, intermingled with
the excitement of the moment, had a
happy effect upon our welcome singer.
Mrs. K. rose to the demands of the occa-
sion, and the sad ees, "Alas, the Wife,"
fell from her lips as though she were
around the scene. To the student of Shil-
Ter and song 1t penetrated to the hearts
inner. Her style of singing is sympa-
thetically interviewer with those long
treasured ideas of true song, which, in
the hearts of many of our Memphians
and her friends, wake a happy accord.
The encore rendered to her was due her,
as an artist and friend, and was a token
as sincerely offered as we hope it was ac-
cepted. We almost omitted, though not
Intentionally, Miss Williams and Mr.. Tepe.
Both are artists on the piano forte, and
show the teachings of a good school. The
Philharmonic may proudly claim such
members, for, with such talent, they can
cherish a hope of producing, at no distant
day, what the best of kindred institutions
accomplished. GO on, We Philhar-
monies, Success by toll alone is
wrought" L. H.
CoMING.-Commeneing on Tuesday
next, We are to have Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Watkins, of whose talents
and ability the press in every part of the
United States speak in the highest terms
of praise. The Louisville C0urier-Jour-
says of them: "Mr. Watkins is an
actor of much versatility, originality,
and spirit, and Rose Watkins,
who will be remembered as Mrs. Charles
Howard, is certainly one of the most
charming and attractive actresses of theJ
day. She has lost none of the winning
manners and graceful actions which were
the admiration of all who remember her
triumphs as the leading actress at the
Varieties, in New Orleans, in the days
those veteran actors, Tom and Harry
Placide, presided over its destinies. For
The several seasons that Mrs. Charles
Howard NOV Mrs. Watkins) played there,
she was the pet and idol of the city. She
received complimentary benefits bv the
toZen, presents by thescors and bouquets
oy the armfnl. In private life she was
he rage. A full-length portrait of her by
IN eminent artist was ordered by her adj
who were hGbitbes of the Varie-
les, and it was hung in the theater, where
t remained until destroyed by fire. Such,
. brief were some of her successes, which
we're followed by others equally fatter-
ng after her engagements closed in New
Orleans. As a vocalist Mrs. Watkins is
pleasing and electrical. She
sing "Mary of Argyle" kathleen
and the best Irish songs of
hat characterIwith as much feeling and
1athos as any oDe on the American

states that "ths show is Invested of
