BROOKLYN PuMHARM oKI0 COSoERT.-Tnere is
only Ibis difference between the Philharmonic So
cietes Of New York and Brooklyn--thc former Il
larger numbers, but the latter carefully selected
nom its namesake and has the advantage OF build
ing infinitely superior In acoustics, ana we might
say, for attendance, fashion also. Last night the
fourth concert OF the twelfth season took place. ana
the building was crowded to its fullest capacity The
performance consisted OF Ran's Symphony No 2, In
q MAJOR played already by our Philharmonic Soci-
ETY. and fully described in the columns Of the
HERALD; the cavatna "Di Piacar,o from "Gazza
Laara.n ana the IAN non Gunge,n with the pre-
ceding recitatve from ''sOnnambua, sung by MISS
kelosg; Weoer's quartet lor four French noina;
Barglei'S lncongruous overture TO ''Medea" and
BrisLow's magnificent overture TO "Columbus" Tne
symphony was charming in every sense OF
tnose extraordinary and unmuslcal affairs
which the disciples OF Wagner and Llszs
Miss Miss Kellogg l I sang the TWO SELECTIONS mentioned
above with taste and expression, and was encorcd

ChdfssOn when she sang ar the New York Philhar-
monlc, and which she Sings very well and with one
OF susanna's airs t'The Flower Song'D from the
''Nozze di Figaro" Which she cannot sing as mu-
scian would desire. Bristow's work was the most
enjoyable Of the entire concert 1t commences
with an andane plaintve movement in which an
undulating strain OF the cello represents the
ships Of the great diScoverer lying at anchor.
This movement Is marked by light and shade, which
lew bars OF chOrale lead into stormy passage or
strings which intended to portray the dissenslons
among the crew. The trst carlonet commences a
very nne march, which is art,sticaiy coIored by
iuter OF strings, and then comes short fugue, the
theme Of whicn is very interesting. few taps OF
the drum grand cassa) announce the discovery OF

NEW YORK PHILuARAoNIc REHEARsAL.--The
Academy was crowded TO The extent OF stand
ing room only on Friday afternoon at the second
rehearsal OF our chief mnsical society. The pro-
gramme was good, but presented no novelties. The
overture to the "ZauberHUtev il too well known to
the musical public to need description, ana Schu.
manns overture, "Genovera," has been frequently
heard here before. The most delightful part OF the
bill was The magnificent Beethoven symphony, No.

THE SEVENTH REGIMENT CoNcEKT.-Tac second
promenade concert OF the Seventh regiment this
season came or at the armory last evening and was
q great success The first one was held on the 2etn
OF last month, rainy night ana was notwithsrand-
ing, well attended,; but the one last night drew
forth an immense gathering. Indeed. tt was at
times almost an impossibllity to promenade at ALL
owing TO the jam. The gathering was, as matter
OF course, qulie select and the display OF elegant
toilets and the latest styles In the way Of dresses by
the ladies' exceedingly brilliant. GraGula and his
rendered the music IN their usually excel
lent way. The programme was not very long, but 1t
made up for want OF length In its choiceDess. The
entertainment was q very enjoyable Cne, and those
who were present at II VIII doubtless be rather I'm
