agreeable voice, under the most perfect control.
He is a very artistic singer and seems most at
home in oratOrio music. His performance of
the recitative was very fine, exhibiting a
true conception of the breadth and
beauty of the composition. In his other
song, "a mans a man for a that" and in
the duct, "Guarda che blanca luna" with Miss
Danlorth, he did equally well. 1t is very nat
ural that in an entertainment of this kind the
piano playing should be carefully listened to
and impartialy criticised by the audience. In
this particular the performers will bear the
closest criticism. The delicacy of touch and dis
elimination which marked the performance Of
"Misere from Ill Trovatore," by Mrs F Albertina
Guild is deserving of the highest praise, and the
solos by Mr.. f. J. Butler and Mr.. W. Il. Daniel
showed that they were masters of the instru-
ment. The piano duet, the "Overture to Semi
ramide," by Mr.. Zuchtmann and Mr..
Isenbeck, which closed the programme,
called forth the hearty appreciation of the audi
ence, for the fine manner in which the gentle
men performed their parts. The singing of Miss
Adelaide Danlorth was hardly NJ to the high
standard OF the rest of the entertainment, but
she exhibited good voice, and with a little
more confidence in herself and a little more
sympathy from the audience, she would I'M
doubleday have shown to much better advan-
tage. In the duet with Mr.. Danlorth, she did
herself much credit. Mr.. j. B. Claus, the teacher
of band and orchestral instruments, was unable
to be present on account of missing a railroad
connection. His absence is much to be regretted,
as his assistance would have added to the pleas.
