AMusEMENTs.

osch concert troupe was welcomed al
the theater last night by brilliant and
fashionable audience; in fact, the theater,
from the outer tier Of seats in the dress
circle down to the chairs around the
orchestra, was filled with ladies and gen.
tlemen, and even the aisles were block
AIDED with chairs. Carlotta PATHS APP
pearance was signal for an outburst
of applause. She sang an aria from
Rigoletto, and was encored with earnest
ness that would brook no refusal. She
responded with
Twas within a mile of Edenboro town"
The famous Scotch song was rendered
with captivating grace, and perfect
storm Of applause followed. Her voice
is soprano of the purest quality, and
her execution of the upper notes partic-
ularly is marvelously sweet. In the
sweet old Scotch ballad she charmed the
audience with her tenderly drawn notes
and piquant style Of rendition.
The centralto Of the troupe, Miss Cary,
won host of friendst. She has voice
of the richest quality and compass.
The aria "0r la Sull' onda was
splendidly rendered, and in response to
an urgent and persistent recall, she
sang Kathleen Mayourneen =" with an
expression Of feeling that we have never
heard equaled in the singing of that ex-
quisite ballad. A Milesian friend OF
ours, who occupied front seat was
driven to tears as the plaintive echo from
that far off land aoated back to him il
delightful music. Miss Cary won fair
division of the laurels for the evening.
Signor Mario, although not the Mario
of years gone by, yetretains that won
derful tenor voice. 1t was once incom-
parable, and even now it possesses that
softness Of tone which won for its pos
SCISSOR the title Of " first tenor in Eu-
rope" He sang Mappari from Martha
with his accustomed precision and cor
rectness, and drew from the audience
enthusiastic applause. As an accom-
plished critic has put tilt is surely even
now faint fairness to say of Mario s
voice that it is a magnificent ruin.
Mile Carreno, genuine type Of Ital-
ian beauty, gave some brilliant execu'
tions on the piano, and Mons. Sauret,
aged twenty years, played on the violin
as only great masters do when winning
the applause of musical critics.
Sig. Scolara is a baritone-a strong
and really good one. He sang an aria
from "Cenerentola and joined in q
quartette with Patti, Cary and Mario.
This closed the programme.
