MrSpfLssoms CLuB CoSoERT. The
theater was filed last evening by a most
fashionable audience, il being the occa-
sion Of the eleventh series Of concerts
given by the Mendelssohn Quartette
Club. The lady singers were among our
most accomplished and noted amateur
vocalists, and last evening acquitted
themselves in u manner that brought
forth the warmest applause and repeated
encores. The solo Nina" by Mrs,
Heating. was oharmingly rendered and
enthusiastically received. A solo from
Freishneiz. by Miss SAllie Lynch, and
another from one Of Rossini's master
pieces, by Miss Jennie Magevney,
we're given in a manner most satisfac-
tory to the musical critics, Of whom
the audience was largely composed.
The Ernani Inyolam" one Of Verdis,
was sung by Mrs. Boylan, who possesses
rich and strong voice Of rare compass
and sweetness. The duos, trios and
quatiettes were effectively rendered by
the club and those assisting in the pleas
ing entertainment, Miss Julia Hahn,
from the Musical Conservatory Of Paris,
gave several touches on the piano, that
proved her to be a pianist Of rare power
and merit. and capable Of brilliant exc
cution. The members Of the club sang
at the opening Mendelssohn's Summer
Song, and closed the entertainment with
Strauss On the Beautiful Blue Dan
ube.n These pieces we're well received
by the audience. The concert was given
under the direction Of Professor j..
Ernest Perring, who presided at the
piano and displayed great taste and tai
emit in bringing forth the very soul OF
music. The Memberships may congrat-
ulate themselves on the successful musi-
cal entertainment Of last evening, and
may rest assured that they have created
public taste for higher grades OF music
which will ere long demand another con.
cert at their hands.
