aud have reached the handsome sum of,
thirteen thousand dollars. There can be

TO say that it has almost been determined
to locate the same in an abscure part of
town, instead of having it where it may
be seen BY men without making special
visit Usually, we believe, il is the Gus
tom TO locate commanding or imposing

ty of our town and the success of the
school, that q change may come over the
spirit of the dreams of the gentlemen who
have the noble work in charge, SO much
so, that they may be induced to erect
the buildings where q full vsew may be
had Of them from the principal approaches
to the toEn, if such thing is possible
and not too expensive.

their skill for the delectation of something less
than ten thousand auditors. Yesterday the
attendance was much better. The grandest
part OF the performance was the rendering of
"The Star Spangled Banner" by the British
GTenadier Band, with heavy cannon accompa-

May the Will OF God be Done," by the full
chorus, organ and orchestra, the debut OF
Madame Pescha Leutner, who sang an aria
from the "Magic Flute" accompanied by the
full orchestra; and Madame Arabella Goddard's
piano solo-"The Last Rose of Sumner"
The Grenadier Guards band, rnder the lead of
Dan Godfrey, were received with tremendous
cheering, the organ playing the English an
them. After the applause had subsidized Mime
Rudersdorf was led to the rostrum by MIR. Gil
more. The British national anthem was then
performed. The final chorus was accompanied
by the English band and all the other bands,
and the organ at full power, while the bells of
the city and cannon were brought into requi-
siton. The enthusiasm was immense, and Gil
more resigned his baton to Godfrey, who con-
Quoted the performance on the repetition in
answer to an encore. Godfrey retained the
baton, and conducted the Grenadier band
through the "Star Spangled Banner" with full
cannon accompaniment, causing a great out

formed, with the usual accompaniment, and
the concert closed with the singing Of the ssMis-
siOnary Hymn"
