the singers on the platform as they were las
night. From the appearance of the Portlan
Band in the opening selection to the last note
of Rigoletto, the public attention was secured
and each piece was received with the hearties
applause. The concert was begun by the Port
land Band with pot poturi from Der Frieschutz
a familiar and favorite selection with concer
goers in Portland Next followed the duet
Betty, by Donizetti, sung by Messrs. Dennet
and Stockbridge. In this selection MIR. Stock
bridge won great praise, showing a better ant
clearer compass of voice than usual, harmonic
ing well with Dement'S deep bass. Miss Bar
ker followed with Benedicts English ballad
The Skylark, in which she executed the difficult
runs with remarkable clearness and strength Of
voice. Perhaps there was nothing in the pro
gramme better calculated to display the full
compass of Miss Annie Louise Cary's voice and
the great power of sustentation than Ah que
gaorno, from Rossini, in which that lady APP
peared. The great force of her lower register
was admirably displayed, and when the piece
was ended thunder of applause followed, in
response to which Miss Cary gave beautiful
song by Hodges, entitled the Rosebush. The
English quartette BY STORAGE is one of those
tender, sweet and solep n melodies that solace
and soothe after stormy passion. 1t was a
beautiful contrast to what had just preceded it.
The second part began with an air by the
Band, given in excellent manner. Horns duet,
81 know bank" by the Cary sisters, received a
| rapturous encore, which the ladies acknowledged
| by singing Balfe's German ballad, 81 know a
Maiden" the action of which was particularly
pleasing, Miss Annie sustaining the soprano
part very handsomely. A double encore fol-
lowed her effort. At the end of Miss Ada
Cary's selection, which came next on the list
Non torno-she received an elegant bouquet
Mr.. Stockbridge's Serenade, by Schubert, was
acceptably rendered, although the singer SEEM
ed to lack little of his usual self-possession.-
Mr.. S. is fast winning place among our fa-
vorite tenors. The gem of the evening, in tbs
popular estimation, perhaps, was Nobn Signor,
from The Huguenots, as sung by Miss Cary
1t was certainly brilliant piece of vocalization,
clear-cut and finished. 1t brought down the
house with energy, and the beautiful bouquet
which was laid at her feet, was perhaps the
least valuable of the tributes which she receiy-,
ed. In response to the encore she favored the
audience with Weber's descriptive song, The
Storm. The concert closed with Verdrs Rigo-
letto, always favorite; and the audience, be-
fore leaving their seats, testified their approba-
ton in a decided manner, We must not forget
Mr.. Kotzschmar, who gave his services as ac-
companist, adding materially to the success of
the evening '.''' - .l...r
/ We understand that Miss Cary is soon to give
concerts for the benefit of worthy objects. at
Bath, Augusta and one or two other cities and
we have no doubt that she will be heartily well
coined and win new fame in the divine art.
