The Jubilee.

This grand event, for which the musical world
has waited 80 anxiously, has eliminated at last.
We give synopsis Of the first two days proceed
ings
The exercises opened Monday afternoon with
prayer. and addresses from Mayor Castor and
Gen. Banks The audience was disappointment
70 many, not over 10 600 being present, while the
building. will accommodate 10000 The orches-
ira consisted of about 900 musicians, and the
chorus of II 900 there being room for no more
on the stage, The reception given TO Gilmore,
Carl Zarrahn, Bendel Strauss, and the other
musical celebrities as they came forward for their
special work, was very enthusiastic.
The arrangements for ventilation, seating,
moving about, going out and in, etc, etc, are
very perfect, and the notion that any great acct
dent can happen to an audience seems preposter-
Gus. The weather holds delightful. The first
performance was " Old Hundred a." with full cho-
rus 1t was most admirably performed, and clio
ed the greatest enthusiasm from the audience.
Considerable interest was felt in the performance
Of the selection Of the Infammatus from Rossini's
Stabat Mater for which Madame Rudersdorf was
to sing the solo The voice Of Madame Ruders-
dorf was not fully up to the expectations Of the
audience. The tenth selection, being the grand
Strauss waltz on the Beautiful Blue Danube, was
the best on the program. Herr Strauss came
upon the platform TO conduct the performance Of
his own composition amid the must intense en-
thusasn. The selection was most beautifully
rendered and was repeated at the enthusiastic de-
mands Of the audience. Shortly after the l0(
fremen in uniform filed in, and Gilmore agar
resumed his white baton amid the applause o
the audience Yerdi's anvil chorus was then per
formed
The audience the second day was much larger
than the frst and there is every indication thai
the Jubilee will be even more successful than The
former one
