RARINpI CONCERT LAST
EVENING.

IN eXCellenb styi0 AOuSuout 4ht
| choruses were all given we'll and with
splendid effect, accompanied OIL the
plano, the vocal portion Of the enter
tainment opening with the Fictoris
Chorus" The vocal triumph Of the
occasion was Miss Isabella Thomas
She possesses q very pure, sweet, full,
clear soprano voice, flexible and rich,
Of excellent compass and average
power, and, although this was said tc
be her first appearance on the stage,
yet she had all the case and grace Of
au experienced professional. She also
possesses a remarkably fine stage ap-
pearance and pleasing style, and for a
d~e6utante, achieved an extraordinary
success, being much applauded and
encored throughout. She, "a well n.
others. had also fine bouquets aud
wreaths Of flowers bestowed. Her
cavatina from Ernani was finely sung,
and In response to the enthusiastic ell
core she sang kathleen Mavourneen'
very sweetly, yet perhaps lacking a
little In style Of execution In some
respects. All the other pieces she
sang we're given to perfection, and
very much and deservedly applauded.
Miss Thomas Is certainly 4 credit to
her teacher. as we'll as possessing great
natural talent rs a singer. Mr.. Gilrs
cornet solo was we'll given and re-
ceived. Mrs. Sauers sang "I'm Lonely
Tonight" very excellently. In her
clear. sweet soprano voice, and all her
songs were received with high favor.
The Maid Of Judah" by Miss Belle
Tau.ig. was also much applauded. She
has a peculiar voice, of the mellow con-
tralto order. LindSey's song Of the
Maniac" was splendidly given. and
he responded to the loud encore with
Dublin Bay" also excellently sung.
The prison scene from I'll Trovatore"
was we'll rendered, Miss Thomas sus-
tanning the part of "Lenora," and Mr..
Charles Mayer "Manrico," with a full
chorus and piano accompaniment. Miss
Amelia Young made her first appear
ance on this occasion. She has q very
sweet, clear soprano voice, OF good
compass aud power, and III fact quite
remarkable for n so young. Her
ballad. "How can l leave Thee" was
well given and deservedly encored.
She will make \ very good singer.
The duet. Gently Signs the Breeze"
by Miss Berthier and Miss Young, was
much applauded. The piano music
BY Farini. Passmore, Saiers aud Stange
was all first-rate. We would advise
Mayer. in the true spirit Of friendli-
ness. to quit the stage as a vocalist.
He Is not a success. except when sing
ing behind the wings, out Of sight,
as he did last evening as "Man-
rico" He has \ fine tenor
voice. though, nevertheless. Farini.
too, although possessing 4 very good
and powerful baritone voice, Is apt to
overdo. He sang The Heart Bowed
Down" very finely, and was much APP
plauded, but his other singing was not
30 we'll received. Ever Of Thee"
the concluding ballad, was spoiled to-
tally by Farini's powerful voice and
Gifts cornet, completely drowning out
Miss Thomas sweet soprano. On the
whole. the concert was the chief musi-
cal success Of the season, we'll and ar
t~istlcally managed, and a great credit
to Farini, as well as all concerned.
PARADE AND TARGET EXCURSION
Day before yesterday afternoon the
much talked of target excursion Of the
Emmett Guard took place pursuant to
announcement. The boys presented a
highly creditable appearance in their
handsome uniform as they paraded
through Virginia and marched to the
shooting ground on the Divide. The
day was not a propitious one by any
means, q strong side wind blowing.
making It difficult to do any very ex-
ira good shooting. The balls, too, did
not ft the guns we'll, and there were
other unfavorable circumstances, yet
some very fair shots were made. The
was placed at POO yards dis
lance. d. j. Mahoney was the best
shot, putting three balls into the tar
get. Our friend Ned Dwyer. whom
we had selected as the wcarer Of the
medal, CALAMITY repndiated
the thing by getting two bullets into
target, being consequently the
best shot. The leather medal
for the worst shot lies between Dan
Ford and Captain Dick Arnold, neither
within 4 rod OF the target at
any time-in fact it Is 4 matter OF
doubt whether they hit anywhere In
that section of the country. The dis
tribution Of prizes shot for will take
place ut the armory of the company
next Wednesday evening, OH which
occasion Arnold and Ford will play n
game Of seven-up in order TO decide
which takes the leather medal.
EMMET GrAIp BALr.-The fifth all
nual ball of the Emmett Guard, at
Athletic Hall, Virginia, night before
last, was one of the most enjoyable
occasions of the kind this season. The
hall was we'll filled with 4 most agree
able. social company. and all appeared
to be having a good time. The music
by Rippingham's famous quadril!e
was the best We lei heard in
that hall. The walls were tastetully
with flags, etc., and every
thing throughout was excellently man
aged.
