had its origin in studies for church service. |
There is no secular occasion when il is not well |
coined by the people. Ii supports, strengthens, |
cheers, solaces the mind in all situations from |
the cradle TO the grave. In joy or sorrow, in |
peace or war, in youth and age. in atfluencc or |
poverty, in sickness or health it is the same. |
There is not an interest to which it might not |
be applied with immediate and certain advan-
tage and profit. During the late war 1000 |
school children sang in OneOf the public squares
of the city of New Orleans the patriotic songs of
the Union, accompanied by volcys Of nhsketty |
the roar of cannon, and the chimes of church |
bells, in the applauding presence of 10000 |
parents, friends aud admirers, with a spirit and
enthusiasm that was never surpassed, No per-
SOM friend or foe who heard the precious music
OF their Young hearts or their shouts Of
10y at the close of each successive patri-
ptic song in recognition Of their own
beautiful and thrilling success can ever
forget the scene or eifacc the impression Il
lett upon the public mind. Among the army of
conquerors, and of the lesser but nobler COM
pauy of pacitcatOrS, the name of Gilmore zap
plausel, then. as now, the inspiring genius of
the occasion, should be, and viii be, forever re-
membercd,
This memorable conyocation Of iluStrious ar.
fists and generous dCyOtees Of music ought hot
to vanish at the close OF its sessions, as the pa
geant Of a dream, leaving no record and no
result OF its genius and labor tapplauSel. NAV

The speeches fairly over, the appearance
of 2. S. Gilmore upon the rostrum was the
signal OF grand ovation. The entire audience,
chorus, and musicians rising, applauding,
cheering, and waving handkerchiefs, hats, ETC.,
in his honor
The first performance of the jubilee then be-
gan under the baton of Gilmore, being the grand
choral OF Old Hundred by the full chorus of
over 10000 voices, the orchestra Of 1900, and the
grand organ. There was not false note,
not an inharmonic chord struck throughout by
either the instrumental or vocal performers, and
never in this country was this grand old anthem
given in such volume of melody. The audience
aapplanded to the echo, Wagner's overture
from Rienzi, by the grand orchestra, was next
given most successfully. The grand chorus of
Damascus, from the oratorlo of Naaman, under
| the leadership of Gilmore, followed, and was
| beautifully and evenly rendered. receiving
nearly plaudltS' piano solo, the fantasia of
| the Skating Ballet, by Franz Bendel of Ger
MANY, was then performed, ana lully Illus

Inc grand chorus was emphasized with cannon
and all the power OF the military bands, the
grand orchestra and organ at its full scope. The
effect was inspiring IN the highest degree, and
to the encore which followed Gilmore responded
by repeating the entire piece with all its novel
and noisy Accomplishments.
Johann Strauss, who came forward to conduct
the performance of his enhancing waltz, "On
the Beautiful Blue Danube, received an oya-
ton that was extremely complimentary to this
famous and nervous little Austrian artist, and
even more cordial than that the generous well
come with which the members of the chorus
greeted Carl Zerrahn at the opening of the jubi-
lee. Under Strauss direction this famous waltz
was given with shading and emphasis that
was new, and made it the most agreeable piece
