As they appeared on the platform in all the glory
OF crimson and gold the audience extended to them
warm welcome, which the huge bearskins duly
acknowledged. The Englishmen were on their met

was remarkably simple, with the variations intro
duced, gave full opportunity for the display Of the
wonderful sweetness and neXbility OF the lady's
voice. The notes are round and sweet, and now so
easily that there appears to be no effort. The pre-
cision and clearness OF the notes were put to
a severe test by the flute obligato accompaniment
but the triumph OF the lady was complete. At the
conclusion OF the aria Madame Leutner was rap
turously applauded, the audience insisting on her
the performance OF the concert waltz, "Kunster

were sent waltzing In imagination round the room.
'Won't ID be delightful to be whirling round the

In the minds OF those present, and the one that
found the most general expression.
THOSE DREAMY COMPOSITIONS OF STRAUSS

by the knowledge that the spirit that created them

little inclined to indulge in cap-trap, but
to freely forgive their eccentrcites The audience
insisted on several recalls and the first part OF the
programme terminated amid a storm or applause.
The excitement about Strauss will have very
beneficial effect on the prospects of the ball to-

KAISER wILHELMs MUSICAL PETS.
The opening Of the second part OF the programme
was announced by the appearance OF the glittering
spiked helmets of the Prussians, who marched to
the front OF the platform with military precision.
Like the English Grenadiers, they were rendered
warm and enthusiastic reception, which they &C
knowledged by giving the military salute to the
people Herr SarO, the gigantic leader, led his men
with s0dierke steadiness, that contrasted strongly
with the manner Of the more demOnstrative lead
ers. There is no cap-trap about him. but the quick
assurance Of a man who knows perfectly what he
is doing Under his direction the band performed
fantasia on themes from Lies Huguenots,"
with q precision and expression that elected
the general applause of the audience, who
insisted again and again on repetitions. The en-
thusasm and constant recalls made it necessary to
depart from the order laid out in the programme,
and Just as the people were resignng themselves to
the inicton OF the 1000 voices the white and blue
plumes OF
THE GARDE REPUBLIcAINEs
were seen advancing. The audience at once gave
vent to their delight in an extraordinary explosion
OF welcome, before which the reception accorded to
the other bands paled and lost their significance.

the excellent taste displayed in their selec-
tons AS soon as quiet was restored the
band performed the overture to "zampa,"
and at its conclusion ensued scene OF
enthusiasm which beggars description. Musicians
jumped up, frantcally waving fddles, and the au-
dience rose almost en- naasse capping and cheering,
while the ladies waved innumerable pocket hand
kerchefs. Again and again this scene was renewed,
until 1t appeared that the band would not be
allowed to go away. In acknowledgment of their
ovation the band played "JOhn Brown" in a man.

Then the

and general demand was made for ia Mar

thusiasm, and the Frenchmen only escaped after
playing yankee Doodle" There was general
disposition to retain them; but of course this was
impossible, and the audience resigned themselves
with regret. Great as was the compliment paid to
Mons. Paulus and his band, it was well deserved,
for nothing could well exceed the charm Of their
playing.
