Boston, June 21.-The audience this after
ternoon was fully equal in numbers and enthu-
siasn to that of yesterday. The American
National Hymn, words by Holmes, and music
| by Keller, was the first piece executed by the
chorus orchestra, organ and bands, and it was
admirably given.
As the day was dedicated to Austria, the
| overture dedicated to Kaiser Francis Joseph,
was performed by the orchestra under Mr.. Gil
more's direction, and created great enthu-
| siasm. ..as
The grand chorus from "Jadas Maccabeus'
followed in fine style under Zerrahn,s baton
| and were duly recognized by the audience
Madame Peschka Leutner again aroused the
| plaudits of the vast audience by her superb ex-
ecutiOn and volume of tone in the Cayatlna
| from the first act of Ernani, excelllng even her
| previous essays that have met with such favor.
| In response to the encore she gave Abts beau
| tiful 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.. Arbucllle then performed the 18th cornet
| aria of De Beriot that was encored to the echo
and he responded with his entransing rendition
| of ''The Last Rose of Summer" The concert
waltz "Rintsler Leben" was set down in the
programme for Strauss, but he repeated in its
| stead, beautiful Blue Dan1be," which has
! become the favorite, and on the encore again
| gave his Czzicato Polka, which set the entire
| audience dancing in their Seats as the great
But the popular feature of the day, as yester-
| day. was the performance of the military band,
this time that of the English Grenadier Guards,
| who, under Godfrey, gave the overture to DEM
isamide and "reminiscences OF Meyerbeer, with
solos by Coford, Ellis and Spencer. The effect
upon the vast chorus and audience being cleo
trcaL The band appeared without their bear
skins, 81 in the shade being too high a
temperature for mere outward display. Their
music was full compensation for the omission
of dress. .s.H.. ii..t
Madame Rudersdorff was led to the platform
when the applause had subsidized, and awaited
her solo opportunity in God Save the Queen
which was first grandly given by chorus, or
chestra, organ and cannon, under Gilmore and
the highly cultivated voice of the popular So
prano repeated the air as only an English lady
could repeat it,. The refrain was led by the
gifted lady, accompanied by the Grenadier
band, chorus, orchestra and cannon, with cleo
trical effect upon the hearers
Quiet once more restored, the next stanzas
were assigned to the Grenader band and Ma
dame Rudersdorlf and the solo was sung
through with increased effect. The applause
was unbounded, 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 di-
recton, and for a few minutes the scene was
beyond the power of description. Cheer rose
upon cheer and when quiet was restored, the
Grenadier band struck mp an Irish air which
set the noisy elements in commotiOn again.
They were permitted to play it through, how
ever, before the enthusiasm rose to its height;
and the band marched up the long aisle
through the chorus seats, amid cheers and the
waving of handkerchiefs, Gilmore, on the spur
of the moment, in connection with the organist
aad orchestra, started "Auld Lang Syne,
which was sung by chorus and orchestra, with
an expressive warmth that has not been wit
messed since the festival began.
''The Sleeper's Wake, from the oratorio of
st. Paul, a piano solo by Arabella Goddard,
Chi Ma Freno," from the opera of Lucia, and
Farewell to the Forest" unaccompanIed by
instruments, were sung with surprising excel
lencc, considering the number who took part.
The days feast of music closed with the
grand old Coronation in which the audience
joined
Another chorus circle was issued to-day Civ
ing the general features of next weeks pro-
gramme. The success of the last three days
has led the executive committee to decide upon
another choral week with the most brilliant

bands, vocal celebrities and the inimitable
| Strauss some of the deadwood, including piano
| music, being thrown out All the societies are
invited to continue their services and bring in

The performance of 'Tsrael in Egypt by the
