full choruses were magnificent, espe-
cially the concluding one, "M~iserere,"
from II Troratore the solos IN 1t were
very fine and we'll given. Mrs. Little
has 4 fine soprano voice, and her song
Of Longing was encored /; she responded
with the sweet little ballad Baby Boy,
which vas much applauded. Mrs.
Mayer possesses also a rich clear iex-
ible soprano voice of good compass and
power. Her song Of The Cuckoo was
deservedly encored, and In response
she sang a very pleasing ballad. Mr..
Mayors voice Is n very fine tenor, OF
remarkable sweetness. He sang Mary
Of argyle splendidly, responding to the
vociferous encore with the fine popular
ballad of Nordh 0'Neii. Mr.. Campbell
possesses one of the finest bass voices
we ever heard, rich, full and deep,
flexible and powerful. His song of
The King and The Miller, WIS very de-
servedly encored, aud in response lie
sang F0'eeeH my F@herldnd, receiving
his full need Of applause. AS to the
songs and ballads given by members
Of the Choral Society we will not speak
so particularly, as they and their ex-
cellent style of singing are familiar
enough to u music-loving public,
| without any comment oil our part.
| We cannot refrain, however, from
making special mention Of Mrs. Stor-
er's song Of Who's at my WiRdor, with
the finely executed flute obligato, by
Frank Moore of the orchestra. This
we considered the triumph of the
evening. She too was loudly encored,
and replied with Castles ia the dir
another vocal gem. Many considered
Mrs. Haydon's beautiful songs, Atoake
my Glory and The Shippers Lad, rs the
best of the evening, she certainly was
very ~deservedly ~applauded and en-
cored. 1t Is difficult to discriminate
closely between such really merito-
rious singers, and do exact justice to
each. Professor Gees piano solo, Ben
Bolt, was brilliantly and tastefully eX-
ecuted, and appreciatively encored.
In concluding this already lengthy
notice, we should feel that we had
committed a sin If we did not specially
mention Balls song Of Sunny Days.
This remarkable solo rendition was a
| decided hit, every verse being loudly
applauded. He sang his own chorus,
and that was applauded, too. Yes.
and he was encored t~errifcally, and
only pacified his enthusiastic audience
by giving them some more Of the same.
As a whole the concert was n very
good success, and a decided musical
treat.

ing Miss Adelaide Phillips, the famous
and highly talented singer, will give
her first concert in this section at Pr
per'S Opera House. assisted by Mr.. G.
w. Raynor, basso, Mr.. Z. J. Passmore,
pianist, and Mr.. J. Levy, who is
spoken of in enthusiastic terms by our
exchanges as the greatest cornet player
In the world. The programme en-
braces some of the very finest vocal
and instrumental gems Of music, and

talented musical accompanies. A
sacred concert will be given on Sunday
evening, for the delectation of those

line suited to the occasion. Mr. Piper

all in furnishing the best attractions to
the patrons OF his theater. 1t has been
q pretty costly and unremunerative

that 1t was made otherwise. Owing to
increased cost In the present instance,
an extra charge of four bits Is required
for reserved seats. Prices otherwise
remain the same.
A Coon APpLAUDER.-For a short
time at the concert at Piper's Opera
House, last evening, the kind and
genial-natured Colonel Avery was the
observed of all observers, because OF
his energetic perseverance in encoring,
and acknowledgement desire for a
repetition Of almost everything which
done. The Colonel occupied a
stage box. and his blissful joy was
prominently observed by at least three
fourths of the audience-but he was so
infatuated with the performances that
he seemed almost entirely oblivious OF
any audience except himself.
