chopper, aud she brought forth ail her sweet
est and MOST bird-iike notes in order to east
n spell around the sylvan hero. How well
she succeeded has already been noticed in
the ilDtistal interest which, the hitherto calm
and llnrrfied Sage evidently took in the
soDg-bird. 1t is said on good authority TINT
he asked the poetic TiIton if she were not
one of The singing birds that come regularly

Of natures vintage. Theodore declared that
she was not. Madame Letltncr retired after
the USUAL encore amid the most enthusiastic
applause, III which Horace joined yocife-
rously.
TIE IRISH BAND
played n long selection of Irish airs with a
good deal Of delicacy and exquisite feeling.
Every dry the execution OF this band Inl-
proves, and it is now generally admitted by
even those who criticised it most severely
that with some closer practice it can he made
a iirst-rate band; lis the material Is tifttlsnally
good. There is little doubt that the baiid
will appear in New York; probably next
week, by which time they will lave acquired
the habit Of working together, which t1hs so
notably absent in their first performance.
Under the leadership of Strauss the orches-
TIA performed two of that masters works,
and Greeley looked on in anaZcliiet:s while
the nervous little man in the black suit
swayed 10 and fro, lost to everything but the
melody of his waItzcs, as if lie were abso-
jltcly possessed. The Sage evidently docs
not understand much about the light fantas-
tic business. whatever lie may know about
woodchopping:
bELiGHTED WITH FHE ANVIL GH0Rts.
His delight eliminated iii the 'iAnvil
Chorus" with its suggGstlseness of the music
of labor, in which the Philosopher IS 4 firm
believer. The Gardc RcpublicGine exc
cutett the. long-prOmised overture from TO-
hengrn,' W1iiG.f some of the musical critics
noticed so rapturuiisfs abotft a week before
it was played, owing to d slip ON the pro-
gramme. This is one of the amusing features
Of the jubilee. Nearly every day telling
criticisms appear in one or other OF the PIT
pcrs Of PRESSES that have been omitted, and
the horror of the Unfortunate correspondents,
when they discovered theft fhistakea can be
better imagined than described. But ti''s
las OCCURRED now so often that it is begin
ming to be looked upon rs matter of course.
The critics dire somewhat dispirited and de-
molalized at the constant Tebetltions and the
oppressive dulness that have characterized
this jubilee affair from the beginning.
IN SITE OF TIE HEAT,
which continues excessive, the people reused
themselves to great pitch of excitement
under tile influence Of the performance of
the French, and, with Il kindness sotttewhat
akin to cruelty, they insisted on a double
encore, which The Garde Rep,tbRcatne gave
with the best cOuntenitIses they could put
on. 1t was, however, visible that the men
were tired and anxious to escape. They
gave the Star-Spanglcd Banner" and the
d" MarSeilHise" in response to the impcr;l-
tive demands OF the audience, and then beat
Il hasty but by no meats ingl0riOus retreat.
The second part opened with the hymn !" All
Hail the Power of JesllS's Name" in Which
those of the audience who wished joined,
with the llSllal discortlant effect. 1t was fol-
lowed by Gueliclmls's 'Gratills Agimus
Tibi," which was sung by Mrs. II. Nj. Smith,
with claronet obligate by Mr.. Thomas Ryan.
Then the atrocious "Anvil Chorus" was
rrlng i'm with its vulgar sensatiomism. Asa
relief, the German Emperor's cOrnet qlr,rtette
played Mornings .'Fest GruSs" with
marked delcacy of execution, the audience
signiiying their approval by requiring an
encore.
THE ENGLISH BAND
PLAYED Viviani's grand professional march,
..Thc Silver Trumpcts," as played i'll St.
Peters at Rome on Christmas and Easter
Day. The performance WAS brilliant and
elected prolonged applause, which was only
brought to an end by the band striking up
the Star-Srlngled Banner" and "God Save
the Queen" both of which were enthusia>-
tcally received.
