rurRp CONCERT or THE EUFERtE'
=, - ,,rotifvinp 10 see that the noble artistic
.nontton Of Mr. John p Morgan and his associates IN
presenng rare classical works snco as the poiessona
dares not undertake, Is meeting at last
with generous public recognition. The third concert,
.o,en an Thursday evening very well attended,
although 10 made but little concession TO what is com
monty known as the popular taste. The following was
the programme;

movements from the symphony indicate the hand OF
master of orchestral combinations who has fine gift Of
melody respect classical FORMS and clear intel
leotual perceptions 4 simple and pleasing theme is
treated with great vgor and dstnctness, though with
out special freedom. We shall be glad TO hear more Of
works OF this composer and hope at future
time 70 hear them more adequately interpreted. Mr..
Morgan cannot he congratulated MS orchestra. II
was sadly out Of tune all through the evening, and in
The concerto made some especially painful discOrds,
which tempted 10 believe intentional. Not
all the wretched accompaniment however, colld ruin Mr.
Mss beautiful performance, spoil the poetry OF me
pre In the second part OF thc concert Mr. Morgan won
more credit than the orchestra allowed him 20 achieve in
first His small chorus OF 40 voices showed the effect
OF competent direction, for they sang with Geditaoe
power and emphasis and gave much effect TO the
weird difficult music OF Waipurgis Night than we
should have expected from company of that size
There was little wagering the dangerous passages
of that very tough piece of work. Come with Torches
and the fnalc-thanks 10 part to the admirable singing
If Mr Remmertz-was really impressive We cannot
ssy thai the Euterpe strong enough in Numbers 10

MADRIGAL CONCERT.
The first concert which the New York Glee
and Madrlgal Society given the took place
hast night At stenway Han II for the benefit Of the
WOnaus did Society, and attracted larger and won
dressed audience. The chorus directed by Mr.. W. A.
HardenbroOk, amateur, Of the usual dimensions,
hardly Of the usual quality. The basses were strong
and fru the sopranos fair riddle parts rather
than commonly uncertain. Very few of the selections,
consequently. given with the precision of tone and
grace OF expression which tins class Of music owes SO
much OF its effect and these few such compare
lively familiar pieces a. Bishops Oer the Brook,
Bessie" and Memberships Awake, the Starry Mid
IghL" These two with Bsrnbys quartette Sweet and
Low" were the best performances the evening. We
listened 10 these and portions OF of the other
seteetons with much delight that II may seem I'M
grateful quarrel with the remainder; but the Madrga
concerts Of past years have made us fasdious
and if We Judge this Society by high standard, IL is one
which itself hs helped to raise
ANOTHER CHARITABLE CONCERT.
The Rwarde Musical Club Is to give con-
ror this evening at Apollo Hall for the benefit Of the
Young I4l,es branch Of the Ladies Christian Union
