The InternationaI Peace Jubilee
FOURTH DAY

ings, SO far as the Worlds Peace Jubilee
is concerned, was fully settled by to-
DAYS experience. The great building
was nearly as well filled in its vast audi
forum, as in the portion allotted to the
chorus and orchestra, presenting one of
the finest scenes ever witnessed. There
were fully fifty thousand people within
the walls of the Coliseum, there being
nearly thirty thousand to hear the fourth
days performance. There was quite
liberal sprinkling of the French element
in the great audience.
The first piece was the Gloria from
Mozarts Twelfth Mass, given by the
chorus, orchestra and organ. The latter
was remarkably effective, having been
for the first time in full working order.
It was well applauded Leutner's festi-
val overture followed, the orchestra
showing great precision and harmony.
This was greeted heartily.
Tie aria of ''Let the Bright Seraphim, !"
from Handel's Samson, was sung by
Madame Rudersdorff, with trumpet OBJ
ligato by Arbuckle. This was consid-
cred one of the finest efforts of the
songstress mentioned, and Arbuckle
shared with her the rounds OF applause
given at its conclusion.
The anvil chorus was next given with
a zest. such as even Gilmore heretofore
has not accomplished, drawing forth an
encore of most demonstrative charac-
ter which led to its repetition.
Herr Strauss again took his violin and
bow. amid the cheers of the audience,
and led the orchestra through his own
grand concert waltz of Thousand and
One Nights" carrying the whole audi
ence away with his electrical style, and
a repetition was demanded and given.
Haydcn's grand chorus from the Crea-
ton. THE Heavens are Telling, fol-
lowed and was never better rendered
than by the great chorus, which APP
peared in better training than ever be-
fore They were ably seconded by the
orchestra and organ.
An international fantasia upon the
piano, written by James Wehli, and per-
formed by him, closed the first portion
of the progrsmme.
The second part was opened by
Madame Peschka-Leutner, who was led
to the rostrum by Franz Abt, amidst
great applause from the audience. She
sang a grand ara from Mozart's Magic
Flute, achieving a greater triumph than
/ has been accorded her since the opening
of the Jubilee She was applauded to
1 the echo and responded by giving "Good
Night Sweet Child, " retiring amidst con-
tinued applause.
At this stage the Garde Republicaine
Band, of Paris, defiled down the main
aisle of the chorus and the whole vast
audience, chorus and orchestra rose en-
massc, greeting them with great cheer
! ing, waving of hats, handkerchiefs and
all sorts of friendly demonstrations
/ This reception lasted fully five minutes,
the band evidently feeling gratefully
/ pleased. They formed a semi-ciEcle
| upon the platform with NJ Paulus, the. r
| leader. in the center. As soon as CON-
parative quiet was restored, the band,
4 true to the French characteristic of
| national politeness, struck up Hail Col
| umbia This was unexpected on the
/ part of the audience and every on in the
whole house rose to their feet and stood
on seats. Three large baskets of flowers
were sent to the band from the audience
and another indescribable scene of en-
thusiastic waving of handkerkchiefs,
hats, canes and cheer after cheer ensued
completely drowning the music for a
few moments. The band, however, play
ed the American national hymn through
and were again cheered at the conclusion
They then performed Meyerbeers march
Aux FlambeauX, and the overture to
William Tell, eliciting the heartiest ap-
plause. Another presentation of flowers
to NJ. Paulus, the leader, added zest to
the applause
At the conclusion Of this, and amidst
the greatest enthusiasm, Gilmore appear
ed upon the rostrum with his baton. The
organ and bands. under his direction,
struck up the opening of the Marsellaise
when it appeared as if the great mass of
humanity had almost become wild, so
extravagant were the expressions of de-
light and the demonstrations were con-
tinucd for many minutes. The chorus
rolled out the first verse most grandly,
then the band Republicaine joined in,
and finally the whole chorus, orchestra,
bands, organ and audience joined in the
French song of freedom, the cannon
joining in with their hoarse response.
The audience kept upon their feet cheer
ing until fairly hoarse. The chorus of
the Marsellaise was repeated, with all
the accomplishments at the command of
Gilmore, the enthusiasm not abating one
jot, and upon the French band follow
ing with Yankee Doodle upon their cor
nets, and then finished gracefully with
the Star Spangled Banner and Marsel-
laise, they retired amidst the most pro-
fuse cheers and plauaits Of the audience,
which had increased in numbers very
preceptibly since the opening of the
concert.
At this stage Of the performance there
Were nearly sixty thousand people in the
Coliseum.
NJ Gounod's soldiers chorus was next
given under Gilmort's direction, with
npcratic chorus and then with the full
chorus and cannon accomplishments,
elieiting hearty applause.
his was followed by GounoFs Ma
zar,th, the solo being given by the bari
tones Of the Bouquet of Artists, the
chorus and orchestra joining in the full
chorus. 1t was received with great sat-
.-c.
