The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1870-04-29

Issue OF yesterday morning MS Is SO, not
because ANYTHING we can say will add to or
detract from the reputation of the artists en-
gagged, but because SO extraordinary mu-
steal event is worth writing about and plac-
violin>t there i, but one opinion. we believe
taken into consideration Of her sex. She is,
no doubt, the most accomplished female per-
former upon the violin that ever lived. Her
comparative rank with Paganini is only to
be determined by such memories of his
playing as retained by elderly and middle
aged people; for that great performer died
as long ago a, 1910. There are multitude
of conflicting opinions with regard to her as
compared with Ole Bull. The general opin-
ion, We believe is, that Bull surpasses her in
powers of rapid and difficult execution but
that the Madame is quite his equal in pro-
ducng the softer, sweeter tones Of which the
violin is capable. Oliver Wendell Holmes
who, besides being poet Of high rank and
man of much polite learning, holds high
rank as an amateur violinist, gave it as his
that the Madames performance of such
pieces as" Home, Sweet Home" surpassed
Ole Bulls finest efforts. This opinion was
formed after hearing them in private -
where they ma. each be supposed to have
done their ''levrl best" If Holmes opinion
is correct, we had the great privilege, on the
night before last. Of listening to the greatest
living performer upon the violin. 1t is
needless to say that ii would take finer, if not
longer, ears than ours to discriminate as to
the exact measure of comparative excellence
of the two, even If we could have the oppor-
tunity TO hear them alternate in competition
upon their favorite instruments. Upon the
stage Madame Urso appears wholly devoted
to the task before her. She steps modestly
before the audience, takes her position, casts
her eyes upon her instrument and never re-
moves'them until her tune is finished Her
manipulation OF the Low is entirely graceful
and altogether devoid the jerkiness of ordi-
nary fdders. She accomplishes her mar
vellous execution without apparent effort.
Her touch must be extremely delicate. She
played, on "Wednesday night, FIVE tunes.
The first was complicated piece
of music styled Caprice de Con cert.
This gave US specimen of her splendid ex-
ecution. Being encored, she played THE
Last Rose of Summer" 1t seemed as if
nothing sweeter could be performed upon the
violin. When Mrs. Mariner sung Beau
tiful Erin" Camilla's violin notes came from
behind the curtain, stealing upon the ear, in
beautiful accord with the gifted vocalist
Then she played Paganinis Carnival of
Venice" This, too, was a sample of her
skill in handling the bow and manipulating
che strings. It was great stroke of art.
Encored, she played that dear, delightful old
tune, Home, Sweet Home" and made her
violin give forth notes smooth, soft, mellow
and fute-hke. 1t was perfect harmony
sweet and simple. This she blended into
The Mocking Bird" blythe and chipping.
Here were execution and sympathetic melody
eharmingly combined. We believe Oliver
Wendell Holmes and shall until Ole Bull
comes this way and dispels our charm.
Mrs. Mariner has singulslly sweet voice.
We do not believe that the most critical could
detect her in a single false note. She has
considerable power, too. She displayed this
in the " Goat Bells" and in her part of the
duet from Linda.
Signor Morley has strong voice of great
compass, we'll adapted to opera-an excellent
second-class senor-inferior as a ballad sing
er to Joe Mcguire. He and Mr.. Campbell
who has a rare bass voice, full, strong and |
flexible, sang Excelsior with very fine
effect.
Altogether this was by far the richest mu-
steal treat we have ever been favored with in |
Carson.
IT locks as if the Silver Star Club, of Car
son, would like to crawl out of the match
with the Striped Stockings. 1t is universal
custom for the challenged party to select the
ground upon which to play. If there is any
rule contrary to this established principle in
match games, the Elko Club would like to
hear the champion club of the State give
some information on the point.-EAko hide
pendent.
There is no occasion for such fling
az the above at the Silver Stars. They
are thoroughgoing base ball players and
mean business. Buster won't decide The
championship but playing according to
the established rules will. Now, if we
