The International Jubilee.

BosToN, June 22.-Thls the sixth
day of the Jubilee has been
blessed with the same pleasan wealth
er that has prevailed during the
entire week. The attendance has been
much larger and the audience one OF
the most enthusiastic that has yet gath
cred in the Coliseum. The chorus and
orchestra show daily marked improve
ment, and the performances of the latter
to-day have been almost perfect. In
fact, the orchestral combinations now
existing at the Coliseum is pronounced
by the best critics to be marvellous, the
result of the training and organization
which have combined to place there
one thousand instrumental performers
in the position they now occupy. 1t
will be one of the features most to be
regretted when the Jubilee ends that it
is not possible, from the nature OF the
case, that this vast and perfect combi-
nation OF instrumental performers can
ever be brought together again.
The programme for to day opened with
the overture to" Der Freischutz." This
was an innovation, as it has been the
custom heretofore to begin each days
entertainment with a choral. The
change was agreeably received by the
audience, which expressed great salts
faction with the piece and the manner
in which it was performed.
The second number in the programme
was Reichberg's hymn, "To Thee, Oh
Count" The audience, however, have
learned from the experience of the week
to expect changes in the programme,
and in this their expectations were real
lied, for, instead of the patriotic pro-
ductions of Reicbberg, Keller's Z" Ma
tional Hymn" was given. The audi
ence were compensated for any disap.
pointment felt concerning the change,
by the excellence Of the performance
of Kellers grand production.
Following this came Strauss, who, with
that magnetic manner which has char
acterized all his performances, conduct
ed his new "Wine Waltz" 1t was
received with tremendous applause and
was, OF course, enthusiastically encored.
Strauss responded by directing simple
piece, which failed to receive hearty
reception. The repetition Of the third
act of "Ernani" by the bouquet OF
artists, grand chorus, orchestra, military
band and organ created an excitement
similar to that aroused by the produc-
ton of the same piece on Tuesday.
The fourth appearance Of Madame
Pescha Leutner was the signal for a
repetition of the enthusiasm manifested
at each previous occasion of her sing
ing. She added new laurels to her
fame and the building echoed and re-
echoed with the applause with which she
was welcomed. The new march ems
titled the "Inman Line" was next per-
formed. This march was written for
the occasion, and dedicated to William
Inman, Esq, in recognition OF his ser
vices in perlecting arrangements for the
jubilee, especially in giving free passage
to and from this country to the Grena-
dIers Garde Band, Of England. 1t is
not a great triumph OF composition but
has some merits and was received with
considerable favor.
The grand feature Of the day s enter
tainment, after the appearance OF
Maiame Pescha Leutner, was the
performance blythe famous band Of the
Kaizer Franz Grenadier Regiment, of
Germany. This was the second ap-
pearance Of this magnificent organiza.
ton, and it is next to impossible to
describe the scene which ensued as they
came upon the rostrum. Their per-
formance, which was almost above
criticism, was somewhat marred by the
same preponderance of bass that was
so marked a feature OF their fret day s
performance. This slight defect. how-
ever, was lost sight OF in the excellence
of the solo parts, and the band was
forced to give variety of selections
before the audience reluctantly allowed
them 10 descend from the platform,
which they did amid the waving OF
handkerchiefs and loud bravos.
Franz Abt then took the baton and
conducted his when the Swallows
Homeward Fly. This, like the previous
rendering, was enthusiastically received.
The Star Spangled Banner" the solo
being sung by Mrs. Julia Hanston, was
rendered in a manner that elected loud
applause and hearty commentator. A
novel and interesting feature OF the pro-
gramme was the appearance of q trained
chorus of one hundred and fifty colored
ladies and gentlemen, including the
former jubilee singers.
The familiar tune OF John Brown"
awoke the enthusiasm OF the audience
to degree not exceeded by any previ-
ous performance during the week.
Handkerchiefs huttered 10 the air. hats
were thrown up. Tremendous euthu-
siasm was created and the audience
joined in the chorus with an effect totally
indescribable. An encore followed and
a repetition of the famous tune created
another furore.
The Benediction des Poignard,"
from Meyerbeers Hugenots," was
gwen in splendid style by the bouquet
of artists" operatic chorus, grand
chorus, orchestra, organ, military
bands, etc. 1t was splendidly rendered.
The familiar hymn, "The Morning
Light is Breaking" the audience join.
ing in the chorus, closed the programme
