BosroN, June 20.-The attendance at
the Coliseum was much larger to-day
than at any of the preceding concerts.
The vast hall was comparatively full
and the excitement and enthusiasm OF
the thousands OF listeners was un-
bounded. The chorus and orchestra
showed the benefit of close prdctice and
their performances were almost perfect.
The programme opened with "GlorIa,
from Mozarts Twelfth Mass" under
the direction of Carl Zerrahan. 1t was
well given. .,
The orchestra followed with well
rendered festival overture by Leutner:
Madame Rudersdorf next appeared and
attempted to handle the grand aria
LET the Bright Seraphin," which was
sung with such great success by Parepa
Rosa at the first jubilee. OF the
performance today little could be said
IN praise unless it be Of M. Arbuckles
obligato, which was admirably given.
The usual burst Of applause greeted
the anvil men as they appeared for the
fourth performance of the anvil chorus.
The performance to-day was better than
any previous rendering and found more
favor with the audience. A repetition
was demanded and given.
The appearance OF Herr Johann
Strauss on the rostrum was the signal
for renewal Of the enthusiasm which
has greeted his appearance at each pre-
vious concert. He directed his beautl-
full waltz, Zone Thousand and One
Nights" and it was encored.
The greatest choral achievement Of
the day, and perhaps the week thus far,
was the grand Creation chorus The
Heavens are Telling
After this, Mr.. James NJ. Wehll ap-
peared and performed an International
fantasia, arranged by himself.
Madame Leutner sang an air from
Mozarts Magic Flute" superbly, with
purity Of style and an artistic gran
deur that her previous singing had IN no
wise prepared people to expect from her.
1t was rapturously received, and she re-
appeared.
Franz Abt then assumed the baton,
and conducted one Of his charming
songs, which was given with exquisite
expression and beauty Of sentiment by
Madame Leutner, she totally contro-
verting the belief that she only excels
in vocal pyrotechnics.
The next and greatest feature OF the
day was the appearance of the band OF
Garde Republican,. AS they came in
sight they were received with the widest
expressions of delighted enthusiasm,
which continued until they were ar
ranged in the area ready to play. AS
the leader, Mr.. Paulus, mounted his
stand. and raised his baton the applause
ceased, and the band played Hail
Columbia" which was so great sur
prise to the audience that they grew
almost unmsnagesble in their demon
strations of satisfaction. After the ap-
plause attendant upon this performance
had subsided the baud played Meyer,
beers fine "Fackel Larez." This was
given in manner that cannot be char
acterzed 10y word less encomiastic
than superb. The expression, the
exquisite light and shade, the spirit,
sentiment, fire and wonderful unity OF
ceiling that distinguished their playing
are things OF wonder. Their execution
is wonderful in its precision. The
applause at its conclusion was deafen.

The overture to civilian Tell was
next performed by the band. in Won
derfui manner. Then came the most
stirring scene OF the Jubilee The
"Marsellaise" was given by the full
chorus, orchestra, cannon, &c, and WAS
received with tremendous enthusiasm.
The remainder of the programme was
well rendered, but failed to arouse the
enthusiasm brought out 10y the performs
