ADJUSTMENTS.

THE CONCERT given last night by Prof
SchulZe, at the Memphis Club Hall, was
very well attended-better than we ex-
pected in view of the weather, which was
anything but inviting-raw, cold and
chilly. The singers were in good voice,
and the instrumental performers in good
spirits; the consequence was a result as
gratifying to all participating as it was
pleasing to all who heard. Mr.. Martin
sang 1.-The Wanderer" by Fescha, in a
style that fully cOmpOrted with his repu-
tation and hat brought down the house
in a perfect furore of applause, compelling
an encore, which he gave in the same
surprising manner His voice, clear and
powerful, is also soft and sympathetic
and easily controlled. He manages it
with all the skill Of a trained artist, in the
minds of many equaling any tenor, pro-
fesSiOnal or amateur, that we have had in
Memphis this year. This is a great deal
to say when we remember SquireS, Him
mer. Habelman and Bowler. 1t is true,
nevertheless. In the duet from
"Trovatore" with Mrs. Tomlinson,
he was conspicuous, and lost moth
ing in contrast with a lady who
gives the best evidence of having been
trained in a good school. His solo
martha, o return love-" was given with
all the power of expression and pathos
that he could command and was deserv-
eddy encOred. He repeated it much to
the delight and pleasure of tho audience.
Mrs. TOmlinson's rendition of the diff
cult kellogg Waltz" by Arditi, wa ar
tistic and quite up to the high position
she occupies as an accomplished vocalist.
The running passages were made clearly
and with ease and the waltz movement
was sustained with fine effect. She was
encored n very kindly gave US the
beautiful gem of Willard, Waiting"
which was most favorably received by
the audience. Farmers performance of
l. Babillard" was one Of the gems of
the evening. This gentleman surprises
us at his every appearance and shows by
perceptible improvement that ne is ami
mated by a love Ofhis art. We are proud
Of him because he is what he is by study,
by perseverance and a determination to
be an artist worthy the highest praise.
Mr.. Wheat's "Scherza," by Chopin, was
q perfect performance. More we cannot
say. He afforded nOn not the least room
for criticism. He threw himself into the
very spirit OF the composition
and performed it with all his
genius-like abandon, yet Observing his
score with q care that showed how ardent
" he admires and loves his author. His
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and clearnesS of
tone-were remarkably prominent in all
his performances, especially in the pre-
Jude and accompaniment to the duet sang
by Mrs. TomlinsOn and Mr.. Martin. In
this he came as near making up for an
orchestra as it is possible for = pianist to
do. As in the "Scherza," the piano pas
sages were given with a %neatness and
sOftness of touch remarkable in contrast
with the animation and VigOr that char
acterized his Interpretation of other pas
sages. There was no carelesSDeSs, on the
contrary he evinced as much care and de-

first effort in Memphis. Miss WilkersOn
surprised US by singing Meader's ballad
"Song of Home" with pleasing effect.
She was encored, and gave LA Manolla."
Her voice, more of a COntFaltO than a
soprano, she uses very s%killfully, Il in
time, with industry and study, will take
high rank as an amateur. Messrs. Jun
herman and H~ollenberg have been
heard so often that il is only neces-
sary for us to say that they both
sustained themselves, and admirably rem
dered what was set down for them in the
programme. We had almost forgotten to
say that the overture to "~Stradella, "tby
an orchestra few in numbers but strong
in talent, and led by Mr.. Wheat, was a
very creditable performance. In every
way this was a most satisfactory concert,
rejecting great credit on all who took
part in it. Especially is it cr5uitable to
the talented young musician, Mr.. Schulze,
who originated and conducted it to q sue
csssful conclusion. He has peer but a
short time with us, but long enough to
make hosts of friends, who appreciate him
as a gentleman and admire the industry,
tact and energy that are his prominent
traits as a musician. He deserved at the
hands of the public ever a better testi-
mOnyO of their esteem than he received
last night, and should have had s packed
house. AS it was, we congratulate him,
and hope be will take it as an evidence of
better things to come.
