ADELAIDE PHILLIPS CONCERT.
Phillips appeared last evening before a
fashionable and critical audience at the
Greenla- pera House. Miss Phillips
fairly won her way into the good graces
of the audience, whom she carried away
with herin 'Bendelaris Laughing Song"
song that few others dare attempt.
She has clear musical voice of rare
sweetness and smoothness, and her notes
are remarkably clear and distinct. Her
encores, Comm Thro' the Rye" and
Kathleen Mavourneen," were rendered
with exquisite skill and taste, and were
worthy of the high reputation enjoyed
by the artistic vocalist. Mr.. Levy's per-
Torrance on the cornet astonished all
present. The thrills, tones, and won
derful notes brought forth by Levy,
were specimens of almost miracu-
lous skill. No wonder Mr.. Levy
stands foremost in the ranks as eornet
player when he renders so charmingly
Home Sweet Home" and THE Last
Rose of Summer" The singing of the
baritone, Mr.. Hasler, in his operate Sc
leetions, displayed high degree of mu
steal culture, and his songs were rem
dered with judgment and taste. His
voice is one of great compass, and was
displayed to much advantage last night.
Mr.. Hoffman, at the piano, displayed
that musical skill for which he has so
high a reputation. Beneath his delicate
touch the sweetest and softest notes are
called into existence. He is a musician
at the piano-not an actor The piano
used by Mr.. Hoffman was one of Stein
way superior instruments. The size of
the Opera House, and its imperfect
acoustic arrangements, demand a grand
piano for an occasion of this character,
instead of the smaller though not less
perfect, instrument used last night, but
we understand there is not Steinway
grand piano in the city. The pro-
gramme for tonight (the LAST is as fol
