REVIEW OF ADJUSTMENTS.


REVIEW OF ADJUSTMENTS.
MUSIC.
The musical event of the week has been the
short season OF the Patti-Mario troupe. The
concerts are 80 fresh in recollection that we need
not review them from musical standpoint
further than to say that they have contributed
very little to the musical record Of concertgoers,
It was a'pleasure to see Mario; q pain to hear
him sing. The recollections Of what he once
Was make no compensation for the fact Of what
he now is. h1lle. Patti has done nothing that
she has not done q thousand times before,
Whatever brilliancy md sparkle q cantatrice
may possess, however flexible her voice may be,
these count for very httle if her repetoire must
always be limited to q half dozen bits Of forid
ornamentation. People don't want to look at
fireworks all the time. Carreno is q good con-
cert pianist, but by no means a great artist,
She does not give herself up to her
work, plays sometimes Istless]y, and
sometimes as il it we're mere lob, to be accom-
plished as soon as possible. The real points Of
attraction we're Miss Cary and sauret. We
know OF no better contralto on the American
stage than Gary, and Sauret is an artist all
through. The concerts have not been q fnan-
cia1 SUCCEEDS, for which misfortune there are just
three reasons: /. The cold weather; 2. The
uncertainties Of travel; 8. The absence Of de-
cided attraction in the troupe. The concerts
we're given under the auspices Of the Star Lee
ture managers, who will probably console them
selves with the fact that all the impresarios Of
any account are celebrated for their lean pockets.
Their laurels are never gilded. We have no
doubt, il they have sustained loss, they will
more than make it up by the excellence Of their
next attraction.
THE oRAToRIo SOCIETY
is rapidly recovering from the prostrating effects
Of the fire. It has been thoroughly reconstruct
ed, and has commenced vigorous rehearsals Of
Costas " Naaman," which it is intended by the
Society to bring ont in March, at McVicker's
Theatre. As auxiliary to the performance, a
course Of three lectures has also been devised,
for which, as well as for the oratorio perfor-
manc 8, season tickets will be issued. The lec-
lures are to be given between now and March BY
Professor Swing, Rev. Robert Laird Collier, and
Rev. DR.. Kittredge. Mr. Collier will repeat his
Beethoven lecture, and the other two lecturers
will prepare original papers on musical TOPICS
This is q novel feature in connection with
musical performances, but one, We have no
doubt, which will commend itself to the public,
and prove very attractive.
TIE APOLLO CLUB
is now under the leadership of Mr. A. H. Dohn,
who will be remembered by all musicians az the
accomplished conductor Of the old Mendelssohn
Society, which for many Years held higher 1n,1-
sical position than any other society in this city
ever obtained AS q choral lender. Mr- Dohn
has few equals. He possesses both q thorough
knowledge Of the technique and theory Of music
and an executive ability Of the highest order.
