MISS MARIE KREBs' EIGHTH PIANO RBCITAL.--
This young lady proved on Saturday In the most in
contestable manner that pluok. perseverance, and
study, united to natural ability, can conquer all
di1iculties in the world OF art she played better
than ever we heard her BEFORE and some OF those
defects In her method which we pointed out seem TO
have been removed by her earnest application. She
was assisted by Miss Agnes Palmer, contralto Of
rare merit who In both tone and school has no supe
rior on our STAGE aud Signor Randolf, the favorte
baritone. Mr.. Louis Dachauer was the accompanist.
The following programme was spresented:-Preludlo,
Fuga a Ia tarantella), minor, I. 8. Bach, Miss

shall refer particularly to Chopin's work. since
wo have had occasion to remark before detects In
Miss Krebs' rendering Of this incompatible piano
writer. The .'Scnarzo' mas been long ago made
nent planists, but Miss Krebs made in 1t Yesterday
one Of her most emphatic triumphs. She moderated
her previous nJudiclous use Of The pedal made each
phrase come out In bold relief and threw express
sion and poetry into her Interpretation OF the work
which gava 1t its full erect and robbed 1t not Of
line OF Its beauty The same attend her play
ing OF Chopin's lovely "Berceuse' which she gave
as an encore. TouS.l, expression. feeling and
execution were alike admirable. In the "Mouve-r
max. Instead OF gradually working the effect up
ana bringing the piece TO close With all the power
and brancy it demands. she dashed into it in the
beginning with q fire and impetuosity which 1t was
impossible TO keep up, much less inc ease. Miss
Krebs az all these recitals, has proved herself an
artist Of very high attainments and that for IN
telhgence. versatility and executive power has few
equals among us. stssx sH

points OF Mr. Brougham,s style in bold relief, and
has one great mert-that OF making the audience
laugh from beginning to enu. Tonight "Faint
