This was given with q dignity Of manner
and q subdued yet strong feeling, which
promised better things than tue chorus

was concerned, was, perhaps, their best,
Enthusiasm reached It's highest point ap'
nareutly when Madam PesChka.Leutner
appeared. Her vocalizatiUn is perfect,
S1rerb. It far excels any have had the
pleasure of hearing since Jenny Lind sang
n our old Mel0deOn. When Parepa's
brilliant voice was heard above the or
rbestra and chorus, band and organ, at
lhe last Jubilee, We thought her execution
could not be surpassed but Boston went
wild over the Leutner. She was recalled
srsn and again, and received a double
encore. Her tlCxibility Of voice, the &C.
curacy with which her modulating, trills,
roulsdes, &c, were performed; the GER
ulnty with which she seemed to strike the
desired note, dropping once q double oc-
fave with as much case, and as surely
sounding the correct tone without the
slightest Chromatic variation, was so per-
feel so easily and gracefully done, that she
carried the hearts and hands of hearers by
storm. III
The appearance of the English Grena-
dler Band was the signal for a new out
burst of rapturous applause. The men,
fine looking Iellows, tall and soldierly,
with their bright scarlet coats and high
bear skins, made a splendid show, as they
marched down the stage to the front, and
were welcomed with loud aud prolonged
cheering, waving handkerchiefs, &c.
They gave some very fine selections of
English music; the overture to Robin
Hood, Mabel Waltzes, and then conclud.
ed with the national anthem, "God Save
the Queen" II made even o Yankees
blood burn, and bis heart kindle, to hear
it; and when the vast chorusSof 10000
rose to sing 1t, there were cheers upon
cheers. The sOloist was Madame Rud.
endOrf, ian English lady with q German
nance and she threw her heart into it.
The bands and organ orchestra and guns
lOinedin the chorus. The second verse
hlChed little, and when the encore was
called for, Gilmore gracefully gave way to
Godfrey, the leader OF the English band.
That touched chorus and people in the
right spot. The band took up the strains
again, and the air went off most glorious.
y. When he concluded theapplause was
almost terrific; shouts and cheers rose and
rose again. Godfrey gracefully acknowl-
edged it, and then took our hearts by
storm, as he had our approval before, BY
giving us the "Star Spangled Banner"
from the Grenadlers' Band. Tremendu-
Gus as the enthusiasm was before, this
capped climax, and he was called back
agatn and again. lie finally repeated it,
