THoMAs's SECOND CONCERT The at
tendance at the Greenlsw Opers-kouse
last night was, the weather considered, q
compliment Of higher character than that
implied by the very full house of Tuesday
night. The attention, too, was ss marked
and the applause IS discriminating.
The programme, which was 8 shade more
classic than that Of the 6rst night, chal-
lsnged to q greater degree the critically
disposed. Opening with the well known
overture to "Der FreYschutz," Il In
creased In interest TO the close, the cul-
minatiOn being found in G1unod's
'Ssltarello," which was rendered with
the same care and precision, the same
nicely Of light and shade snd depth
won such r~aptnrous applause on Tues
day. Il was q never-wearying theme
with those who have a large discernment
in instrumental music, the perfect sccord
and singular unRnimity of this corps, who
are guided as If each were 8 key to some
grand instrument obedient to the HAND of
The master, Thomas. The Adsgio PRO
metheus" BY Beethoven, with obligsto
for harp, ViolincellO, flute, c~lsrionette and
bassOn was received with warm applause.
Next TO the qusttetts in d minor from
Shubsrt It mustrsted the growth Of or
chsstral music which has The Quartstte
for its bssis. Both these competitions
were loudly enoored, bat IN obedience
to 3 very wise rule which prevents
the imposition Of a double share
Of work upon the performers, this
on Hungarian sirs"called out
the fullest sympathies of the audience and
confirmed the Judgment Of the previous
night as to the high artistic merit of Miss
Krebs, who played with 3 deliczey and
skin quite equal to that which Is the dis
tinguishinE feature Of the orchestra with
which she Is altogether worthy of sssocia-
ton. She responded to desfeninR calls
and gave an encore which afforded her an
opportunity Of exhibiting her marvellous
rspidity Of execution. The closing OF the
first part. the Introduction, chorus and
march," from the third set Of LOhen0yin,
csptiysted every one and brought the
house down In & storm Of ap.
plause, plainly cOntradicting tie libel
music Of the future. What we
had of It from Thomas orches-
ira indicates s present popularity that
ought TO satisfy this master Of ths weird
and fanciful. From the crash of L0heH-
grin we come to the midsummer 4
Nights Dream" OF Mendelssohn, which
was painted In living colors. The Soon
certo" of Pagsnini introduced Nj. Bsr-
ListsmRnn, captivsted the audi
and responded TO N applause that
vas sustained with uDdiminished srdor
Tor several minutes, by an encore that
Insured him very high praise, and high
plase As a viOlinist, 10 the esteem Of this
people The "Radolfs KlangeD waltz Of
almost brought the audience TO
is feet, so moving il the Measure. Har-
unony and melody were inter-
and strains Of the must
entIcinQ music invited TO the dance. Miss
Nar{a Kreha rendared. with her usual
auellty, s NoctnIne, by Seeing, and =
Roudo In K fat, By Weber. She was
loudly applauded indeed, her appearance
was Always the signal Tor applause, speak
Ing plsinss than words Of ours can tho

which she e already regarded by tbs
