ence by her superb execution and vol
ume of tone in the cavatina from the
first act of Ernani, excelling even her
previous essays that have met with such
favor. In response to the encore she
gave Abt's beautiful ''Good night, my
Dearest Child" under that gentleman's
direction. This was received with marked
pleasure, and it was not without many
Acknowledgements that the lady was al
lowed to leave the platform.
Mr.. Arbuclxle then performed the 9TH
cornet aria of DeBorot, that was encored
to the echo, and he responded with his
enhancing rendering of ''The Last Rose
of Summer"
The concert waltz, ''Kuntsler Leben,"
was set down in the programme for
Strauss, but he repeated, in its stead, his
Beautiful Blue Danube" which has be-
come the favorite, and ON the encore, he
agrin gave his Pizzicato Polka, which
set the entire audience dancing in their
seats, as the great leader danced his time
upon the platform.
But the popular feature of the day, as
yesterday, was the performance of the
military bands. This time, that of the
English Grenadier Guards, who, under
Godfrey, gave the overture to Semiram-
ide, and "reminiscences of Meyerbeer,
with solos by Lawford, Ellis and Spen-
Ger, the effect upon the vast chorus
and audience being electrical. The band
appeared without their bearskins, % in
the shade being too high a temperature
for mere outward display. Their mu-
sic was a full compensation for the omis-
sion of dress.
Madame Rudersdorff was led to the
platform, when the applause had sub
sided, and awaited her solo opportunity
in ''God Save the Queen" which was
first grandly given blythe chorus, orches-
ira, organ and cannon under the direc-
ton of Gilmore, and the highly cult
waited voice of the popular soprano re-
peated the air, as only an English lady
could repeat it, The refrain was led by
the gifted artistic, accompanied by the
Grenadier band;' chorus, orchestra and
cannon, with electrical effect upon their
hearers. Quiet once more restored, the
next stanzas were assigned to the Gren-
adler band and Madame Rudersdorff, and
the solo was sung through with in
creased effect. The applause was I'M
bounded and, when the band added their
allegro in the repetition, the chorus and
audience insisted on joining. The grand
organ followed, from pure necessity, as
a matter of direction, and for a few
minutes the scene was beyond the power
of description, cheer rose on cheer and,
when quiet was once more restored, the
Grenadiers struck up an Irish air which
set the noisy elements in commOtiOn
again. They were permitted to play it
through, however, before the enthusiasm
rose to its height and, as the band
marched up the long aisle through the
chorus seats amid cheers and the waving
of handkerchiefs, Gilmore. on the spur
of the Woment, in conjunction with the
OrganIst and orchestra, started "Auld
Lang Syne," which was sung by the
chorus and orchestra, with an express
i've warmth that has not been Witnessed
since the festival began.
'The Sleepers Wake, from the ora
torio Of St. Paul. piano solo, by Ara
bella Goddard, .'Cha Ma Frena, from
the Opera of Lacia, and Farewell to
the Forest, unaccompanied by instrU-
ments, were sung with surprising excel
lence, considering the number who took
part, and the days feast of music closed
with the grand old Coronation Hymn
in which the audience joined
Another chorus circular was issued
to-day giving the general features of
next weeks programme. The success
of the past three days has led the execu-
tive committee to decide upon another
choral week, with the most brilliant
features of the present, including the
military bands, vocal celebrities and the
inimitable Strauss. Some of the dead
wood, including piano music, being
thrown out, all the societies are invited
to continue their services and bring IN
their auXiliaries. The performance, Is
rael in Egypt, by the Handel and Hay
den and Psalm and Hymn societies, viii
be further postponed in accordance with
this change of plan.
Mr.. Tourjee promises the greatest
week of choral effects yet experienced.
The prices are to be reduced for the sa-
cred concert on Sunday, and subsequent

cording to the location of seats. Presi-
dent Grant is expected early in the week.

ma, Lasalle, Barrossa, Peninsula, Inker-
man, Alma, Sebastopol, and the motto

The British, German and French
bands fraternize, but between the Ger
man and French the feeling appears to
be polite and civil merely when they
meet.
The French Band has volunteered to
play for the Latin and High Schools
regiment, which drills on the common
tomorrow. This is in return for the es-
cort rendered on the bands arrival in
