| The eleventh concert of the Jubilee
series was largely attended. No spe-
cial attraction had been announced, and
it was supposed that, after the ball,
there would be calm. The chorus,
however, turned out in very full ranks,
and the great auditorium was very
| comfortably filed The floral decora-
tions of the ball were kept in their
places, and had even finer effect than
when exposed to the glazing blaze OF
the previous evening.
The French band maintained their
ascendency to-day, as on all other days,
by the magnificent manner Ill which
they gave the selections from " Lucia, ,
especially the sextette "Chimi Frena. >

covered the outlay. which is between
$500, 900 and 5000, 900.
