It's the intention of Mr. Balcomb
to hold a public parlor rehearsal of
his pupils occasionally through the
season, at the residences of the pu-
pills, in order to give parents, who are
invited to attend, an idea of their
progress. An excellent feature Of the
new arrangement is. the classes will
be questioned relative to musical
study, according to the advancement
made, which will be excellent and
most profitable discipline.

Baic0nb's Pupils Rehearsal.

The Public Rehearsal given by Mr..
Bacomb's Pupils, last Thursday even
ing, was we'll attended by an appre-
ciative audience. The selections
comprised many compositions of the
best composers, though large por'
ton were of easy execution, the pu'
pills, many Of them, being beginners.
Were,we to par,icplarize as 10 the
merlts'of each pupil, We fear our crit.
icism to be just might be too lengthy
and perhaps uninteresting to our read
ers, and perhaps TO some of the per
formers; we will however mention a
few pieces of excellence.
Tho FAIRY Wedding Marcia
Duette, executed on the organ by Mr..
Balcomb and Phillip la Breche, was
most exqnisitly rendered, evincing
on the part of Master LaBreche, rare
musical ability.
Emi,a Redowa, by Miss Antoinette
lMennet, was finely presented for one
so little, eliciting applause.
UpsideDown Gallop--a weired,
strange and grotesque.-yet beautiful
piece of composition, played by Miss
Anna Dutruit, elected general APP
plause, and was rendered in a style
almos, fanltless.
The Misses Webb, E|mina and
Jennie, rendered Guapr's Waltz, as
4 Piano Dnette, with taste and ex
preston indicative OF rare musical
talent. w it'll little more confidence,
which they will gain with years and
practice, they will attain to high de-
gree of ex elence in the rendition of
intricate musical composition.
Selections from Lucretia Borgia, by
Miss Winnie Rabliu, was well execut.
ed, showing decided improvement
since the last rehearsal it was our
pleas re to attend.
MISS Cecilia Rossier and Miss
Amelia Lefebvre acquitted themselves
most creditably, eyincing excellent
taste and a just appreciation of the
c COMPOSITIONS they were called upon
To execute.
The Misses Roe and Smith, played
with a skin seldom witnessed in so
young performers slight defect in
time by MISS Ella Roe, being the only
fault, otherwise she did remarkably
well.
Miss Ena Compton executed The
Storm Des Freyschutz and Wildfaus
GaIiop, the latter a D"ette) with her
accustomed skill and Beauty Of execu
ton.
Two very beautiful ballads, entitled
Papa, Help the Across" and
" Daughter Of the fles," with chorus,
executed by Miss Susie Rablln, were
very fine. Miss Susie hasa swee,
flexible voice Of good volume, and
her expression, considering her years,
is very creditable. A few terms de.
voted to vocal discipline would make
her an excellent performer. '..-
The pupils had many obstacles to
contend against beside embarrass
ment, which for those who are not ac'
cnstomed to tie presence Of a large
au lirory, is a burden not lightly tc
be borne.
The rehearsal was decided sao
cess, and Revealed TO the pnblic
tshat must be a pleasure to the par

PUPILS Of Mr.. BnIcomb are making
RAPID advancement In musical sci
