TIE kaEersERs AT Brunswick. lit was a
pleasant and merry party of the members Of
the Kreutzer Club with their lady aud gentle.
men friends, who took the five o'clock train on
the Kenpebec road, under Conductor Dodge,
and aftewards sat down at the ample tables of
the Toptine Youth and beauty blended well
in appearance as in laugh and jest. At eight
O'clock the new and beautiful Lemont Hall
was not as we'll filled as it should have been,
but refined and apprecative audience was
present. The hall is very nice one, bright
with gas light, beautiful with frescoes, and
spacious with its galleries on three sides, and
one certainly very creditable to the town. The
CLUB carried through the programme with
more than the usual smoothness and blending
Of the various parts.
The modest, quiet bearing and freedom from
stage airs is noticeable always in the singing Of
TINS Climb. THE Ruined Chapel" by Becker,
was sunk in sweet, subdued and very correct
style. Mr.. Bet kett gave the Jacobite song of
old Scotia, "Here's a health to King Charles"
in so spirited a manner that it called forth an
encore. Miss Barker was beautiful and at
tractive, and she evidently produced sensa-
ton upon the audience, singing "Tho Trova-
to-" and "Tell me, o Bird of the Merry Green
wood" initiating well in the latter the note of
the cuckoo, and receiving an encore on each
piece. Mr.. Morgan, in the trio with Miss Bar
ker and Mr.. Coffin, acquitted himself hand
somely, although laboring under severe in
fiammatiOn of the throat. Mr.. Will Stock
bridge sung Eileen" finely, showing that he
possesses splendid tenor voice, which will
make him famous some day. MIR. Coffin pos
sesses pleasing voice, and rendered his part
in the trio and Duet from Donizetti very cred
itably. The too short love song, always
More" by Messrs. Ira and Will Stockbridge
Howard and Pratt, excited the audience, as
usual, SO that it had to be repeated. The Opin-
ion was expressed that should another like
concert be given a larger audience would greet
them. The Club expects TO 60 to Lewiston
SOON for another concert, and we bespeak for
them large audience, on the part of the peo-
pie of the spindle city.
