THE GRAND JUBILEE.
A successfuI nights Entertainme

A Successful Nights Entertainments.
Again the ChiIdren's Jubilee essayed TO
please large audience last evening in the
Exposition Building. That 1t was q well
conducted affair, no one doubts, and ttac It
was q success was a selfevident fact. The
programme that was to have been carried
out the night previous was sung through in
a manner that added greatly to the laurels
the youthful singers gained by their first
nights efforts. Aud those cboruses tina.
were carried over from the old programme
were sung with .fnesse that rivaled their
first production.
Concerts of like character are some
times attempted, but are seldom known to
realize such triumphs as THE one of Mr..
Campbe'ls. BE has been to considerable
expense to arrange and consummate this
| Jubilee, end for the unselfishness with
which he has devoted himself to it from its
infancy, he is deserving of great applause.
| Last evening the people of Nashville showed
their appreciation Of home talent by nearly
| filling the building in which the Jubilee was
| held, and this evening, if We are able to
judge correctly, the audience will be even
larger than it has vet be n, as the exer-
cises will consist Of the singing of those
choruses which have best suited the au-
dience thus far, together with seve raj new
ones not yet sung.
Among the sweetest songs that last
evening woke the echoes of the Silly
night, were "Shall we Know each other
| There" t'Shall we Meet" and that ever
beautiful melody, the ''Sweet By and By"
which was rendered more charmingly, if
possible, than on the previous occasion.
''Shall we Know each other There" was
sung with q peculiarly artistic air, that
| stirred many hearts in the audience, who
| have the bright assurance before them OF
meeting, at some future time-perhaps not
far distant, the loved and lamented who
are gone before. While tho words Of the
song
"Shall We meet beyond the river
Where the surges cease to ROLL"
floated forth with childlike sweetness, Its
silvery strains resting lovingly on many
heart by sorrow bowed.
Nor were the other songs on the pro
gramme executed without skill and artistic
effect. "Crown Him" was a musical gem
that drew appreciative applause from ths
assemblage, and "Star Voices-GOod night
was rendered in most exquisite manner,
that Won deserving praise. OF course II Il
not TO be expected that these young voice.
can produce notes that are so emphatlcallI
grand, or superbly sweet, as those OF
Nilsson or Parapa Rosa, but they appea
more directly to the purer elements
our hearts and are, to say the least, irres
sistible, and unaffected.
At the close Of the concert the Rev. Mr.
Young addressed the audience in relation
to the expenses the jubilee, AID so forth
stating that it had cost over 800, and II
order to meet expenses, be hoped that to
night all the citizens of Nashville VIII
could possibly do so, would lend the enter
prise-which is a laudable one, their heart
support by their presence. As the pro
gramme Is, with but a few exceptions
which have been mentioned, the same as o
the first night We omit publishing it. To
night a complete revolution will take place
however, and those who miss it, will hav
something to regret.
