don This portion of the programme
was favorably received. The band con-
tinued with Mabel Waltz, the favorlte
composition of Godfrey, creating great
enthusiasm especially with the ladies.
After the applause had subsidized Ma
dame Rudersdorff was led to the ros-
trum, by Mr. Gilmore, being Handsomely
greeted. The British national anthem
was then performed, the organ opening,
followed by the sopranos in the frst
first verse, and by all the orchestra and
full chorus in the second verse. The
solo in the third verse was sung by
Madame Rudersdorff, the choruses be-
ing given by the Grenadiers and all the
bands, the grand chorus, the organ at
full power, and the bells of the city and
cannon being brought into requisition
under the dictatorship of Gilmore. The
enthusiasm created was immense, and
in response Gilmore gracefully resigned
his baton to Godfrey, who conducted
the performance in its grand repetition
in response to the encore. Englishmen
state that their national anthem was
never before so grandly rendered.
Godfrey retained the baton and, under
the impulse of the moment, conducted
the Grenadier band through the Star
Spangled Banner with full cannon ac-
compartment, causing an outburst OF
applause, such as has not before been
known even in all the previous jubilee
performances of our national anthem.
The band operated it again, the whole
audience rising and giving cheer upon
cheer, the chorus and audience joining
in the last lines. This was followed by
cheers for the red coats and bear skins,
which lasted for several minutes.
One of the gems of the day was not upon
the programme, being Wine, Women and
Song, by Strauss, who conducted the
performance in person. Its features
were fully drawn out, and this selection
was most heartily appreciated by genuine
lovers of music throughout the audience
and was very heartily applauded.
The one hundred fremen filled in
after the Strauss performance, and took
their position behind their anvils amidst
applause, and Gilmore and the great
chorus with all the explosive accOmpani-
ments of cannon, the pealing of the
organ, the one hundred anyils. The
bands through the anvil chorus receiving
as usual the heartiest applause.
Halevys Romanza from L'Eclair was
then sung, the first verse by the sopranos,
the second by the sopranos and tenors,
in unison with the full orchestra accom-
parliament. 1t elected an encore.
Mendelssohn chorus from Elijah, He
watches over Israel, was next given by
the full chorus and orchestra. This sec
ton was specially made for the grand
choral and orchestral effects to be OBJ
tanned only by such body of trained
voices and musicians. Its rendering
fully met the expectation.
The concert closed by the singing of
the missionary hymn. The first verse
was given by bouquet of artists. the
second by the full chorus, and the third
by the whole chorus, and artists with
organ and orchestral accompaniment, the
audience joining in.
This closed the second day of the fes-
tival, which seems to be gathering in in
terest and increasing in popularity as the
days increase.
There is now no question of the per
feet success of the great enterprise of its
enthusiastic protector, P. S. Gilmore.
Previous to the appearance of the
Grenadier band, Lieut.-Col Fludier, of
the Grenadier Guards, and Mr.. Inman,
of tbs Inman Steamship Line, with
Mrs. Inman, were escorted to seats res
eryed for distinguished guests.
Henry Ward Beecher, Senator Buck
ingham, of Connecticut, KELLOGG, of
Louisiana, and the japanese embassy
were present at to-day's performance.
