ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES



The CHORAL SOCIETY CoScERr.-
Last evening the grand concert enter
tainment of the Virginia Choral So
ciety took place at Piper's Opera
House pursuant to announcement and
programme, and was n most brilliant
success. We have seldom that
fayorite theatre so densely crowded,
and with such u fine, fashionable and
a~ppreciative audience. We have nei-
Their time nor space for a critical re-
view Of the entertainment in all its
details. 1t passed Off very smoothly,
with perhaps a little too much drag ut
some points, making it 4 little too
lengthy for the patience OF the audi
ence, as evinced by many leaving be-
fore the entertainment was v This
fault will, however, doubtless be cor
rected tonight. The Choral Society
presented n fine appearance, there
being twenty-siN of them upon the
stage in the choruses, and the ladies,
excepting in a case or so OF OverdreSs,
were t~astefully arrayed. The songs,
duets, choruses, etc, were all creditably
given and generally with admirable
effect. Prof. Pasmore wa the musical
disector, Prof. Sauer the pianist, and
r. II. Lindsay, stage director. The
most artistic solo given was Robert tot
que J0ime, by Mrs. Storer. 1t was
very finely rendered and deServedly
applauded. Miss Ida knapp's song Of
Poverty FlGt, met with high favor and
n vociferous encore, to which she re-
sponded with the new song Of The
Heather Chinee, every verse Of which
was applauded. Her voice is a pleas
ing contralto, evidently not of great
power, but she spoke all her words dis
tinctly, a very meritoriouS point in all
solo singing. and her style was very
good and modestly expressive, us well
as quietly peculiar and amusing. She
made n decided and very successful hit.
The duet of the Sren and EridT, by
Mrs. Wiley and Mr.. Eells, was also
very we'll given and applauded. John
Br0NR, us sung in full chorus, and
after an entirely e and peculiar
curtailed style, by the Society, created
much merriment. The various tableaux
were all we'll given and received, and
the splendid drill of the National
Guard, in full uniform, upon the stage,
wa one of the finest and most merito-
rlous features Of the evening, especially
In the Silent Manual. This, however,
was q little too "silent" at one time,
keeping the audience gaping wonder
ingly at an empty stage for about ten
minutes or so before the troops got
ready to march OIL. Unless they should
be more prompt in war time the enemy
would get them, sure. The Witches
Scene In Macbeth, with r. II. Taylor rs
Macbeth NJ. Hardie rs "Banquo,~
and other characters by members Of the
Opera House company, was given in
effective style. the choruses, solos, etc,
being magniticently rendered by the
Choral Society. This admirable enter
tainment will be repeated this evening
with some variations and additions to
the programme.
The ODD FELLOWS BAIL.-To-mor-
row night, let 1t be borne in mind, the
grand anniversary ball to be given by

pate In the Terpsichorean mt social

given by the Odd Fellows are always
among the best, most social, pleasing
and satisfactory, and this Will be no
exception to the rule. For lists OF

best music In the State Is secured for

not hear of much excitement rs ye'

sumo the election will pass oil harmo
niously and result in the election o
good officers.
Town ELEcrIoS.-The annual cleo
ton for officers of the town Of Cole
Hill will take place next Monday
May 1st. From appearances we should
Judge that neither the Republicans no
the Democrats intend making nomi
nations of regular tickets, and tn
probability is that any responsible ant
competent taxpayer In the town cal
run II he desires to be a candidate
W. shall try and find out tomorrow
what the taxpayers Intend doing, II
the premises. Our " opinion Is tina
1t will be beneficial to the town L
make up a ticket Of Republicans ant
Democrats-of men who are compe
tent, interested In the welfare Of tn
