Ali the pieces were remarkably well
executed, and we ought to particularize
none, but all were so good, it will be ex-
cused in as if we speak of the spleudid
manner in which Miss s. executed 'Sans
Souci." Every note was as clear and
distinct as bell, and every tone was
beautiful. The Vocal Solo waiting" by
Miss p. was sweetly and exquisitely
sung. ITO Thy Holy care" was magnif-
:cent; Miss n. Il. maintained her suprem-
hcy in the realms of song. Overture
10 Cheval De .Bronz," quartette, was a
TODD specimen of what a rare womanly
alent can do under the guidance of a
aaster hand. ''Caprice Hongrois" was,
our estimation, the finest instrument
ii piece performed. The exquisite and
f{ry-like tones of Miss M. b. were in
ied enchanting. They led the soul
cafiye into the region Of ineffable bliss.
"Aialaide, by Miss e.. was loudly and
losg applauded; the audience seemed de-
terrified not to rest without an encore.
Fee, chair and canes ratified and con-
tintid to rattle. Finally the song was
repeted. Miss p and Miss f., Prof.
Estee's favorite pupils, did honor to his
teaching and achieved fame for them
selves Their voices are as unlike as the
sweetSummer wind is to the strong
bracirs North wind; the constant shift
ing frcn the sweet to the strong was de-
lightfd. "Johnny Schneider" sung by
Prof. kteve, III. Z. Seavy and Joe Hern-
don, WIS a rare comic song. The Profess
sor's prt was that of an enthusiastic
Frenciman, suiting the action to the
word aud the WOO to the action, with an
effect impossible to surpass; while Mr..
Seavyi voice, being Saxon, and in per,
feet .bFmony with that of Johnny
SCHNEIDER" made one feel like they
were haring an impromptu song. The
aLdiene, by an applause that could nei-
ther betilenced nor drowned, caused the
song tobe repeated. The Hall was not
entirely filled with people, but good
many PEOPLE were present, flor Column
bia,) ani Judging from their manner,
they WIRE delighted. A large num-
Der of he auditors were ladies, whose
beauty and loveliness helped the gas
light very much to light up the Hall
brilliantly.
