WHERE WAS 1T?-On Monday night at
II O'Clock, from the corner Of Broad and
18th streets, an immense light could be seen
in a southeasterly direction, apparently
on the flats opposite Rockets. 1t looked
to be too bright for i fire in the woods, and
the flames would leap up to Il considerable
height. just before o'clock it seemed to
have gone down somewhat, though the
light was still very brilliant. OF course no
alarm was given.

and rare artistic treat to the large number
of fashionable and elite present, whose most
sanguine expectations were more than sur
passed. The programme was arranged with
excellent taste and judgment. "Live the
Waking Birds" sung by Misses Hattie
Gleaves, Maggie Hoyt and Birdie Gleayes,
elected encomia from every one, affording
as they did rich food of melody in such
excellent manner. A selection ("Ah so Far
Away'') from Martha by Miss McCrory, was
indeed happy effort and graceful achieve
ment for one of her years. The instrument
tai Duet pearls and DiamOnds) was so
fascinating and admirably executed by
Misses Baily and Katie Mckee, that it was
difficult to say who was the diamond or
''who was the pearl" Both showed an un-
usual degree of proficiency in a composition
at once intricate and demanding a careful
precision at every note. "The two Merry
Girls" (song) by Misses McCrory and Nina
Woods received an undoubtedly good rem
dition by these two charming young ladies,
whose joyous mirth, unstrained smiles and
cleaning eyes caused all to believe they
were two merry girls (iI song.) (The
Piano) Cascade by Miss Martin was en-
ioyed very much for the artistic manner of
its production.
Mrs. Murphy enthused the company with
her well controlled and finely modulated
voice, one of thorough culture and true
melody, in an operate song, the name of
which we do not remember. One of the
most beautiful songs of the evening was
vocal Duet, (the sound of harps angelical,)
by Mrs. Murphy and Miss Martin, whose
voices chime together in as natural and
graceful melodies as 1harps that tuned an
gelic harmonies." The song by Miss Dun
can fascinated all, for the soft musical sweet
ness, yet clear, silvery tones Of her con-
tralto with the deep, rich notes
of the mezzo soprano and soprano,
has magnetism and effect hardly describ-
able. Her voice has sufficient power, dis
tinctness, easy meditation, and fine quality
that give soul to woman's music, and has
made the world run mad to hear Jenny
Lind and Nilsson. After the conclusion of
the musical programme the parlors and
hall were cleared for dancing, which, with
a short intermission for handsome COLA
ton served by the host and his wife in ele-
CANT style, was enjoyed with zest until
late hour.
