Lyceuin Hall.

Lyceum Hall.
Despite the murky weather and weepine
clouds last night, a large and select an
dience gathered in Lyceum Hall. They
were well repaid for the Inconvenience in.
Cured IN facing wet weather. The concert
given last night, we confidently assert. has
not been excelled in this city since the davs
of the old Philharmonic Society Each and
every participant was al fat. there was ro
tagging of excellence and the audience
were not called upon in single instance tn |
gloss over or excuse any impertection or !
shortcomng.
The instrumental music was of hoh |
order. The string band, that filled the in |
terludes. played with taste and judgment. |
W e did not learn the name OF the leader |
but he Is evidently musician of talent and |
tact.
Every one knows how difficult it to
satisfactorily arrange programme for
all amateur concert. We produce, he'e-
with, the bill of last evening, as evldenciig
one instance of marked success in selection |
and arrangement: !

o-"Picadilly" Master Isaac Brown
We have already alluded to the evenness
| and ger eral excellence of the entertain
| ment, but we think that when each and
| every performer did SO well, something N
the way of special mention is required. In
a brief and hurried critique, as this is, we
| can not be expected to do justice to all. but
we content ourselves with referring to such
| portions of the programme as struck US as
particularly noticeable.
Passing over the opening quartette, which,
though admirably vocalized lacked some
| what of animation, and was rather over
| we come to Master Oscar Montgomery S
song, sunny Days Will Come Again.
Master Oscar has a pure, light baritone
voice of great sweetness and OF rare power
for one so young. The duet. Where Shall
We Find Our Home" by Miss Annie NJ
Nahar and Miss l.. jackson, was deservedly
applauded. .,, s.,,ooz
next with the solo You and |, received a
recall. Mr.. Williams Voice is a vigorous
tenor, and he keeps it under admirable con
troll amt modulites it with good expression
Miss Fannie Hopkins sang her solo from
Judith with freshness and grace.
Mrs. Mena Mcneil rendered sweetly the
ballad evil You Think of Me Forever"
Mr.. Louis A. Bell by special request
, SANG the song The Old Sexton in capita
style.
, Mrs. Anna Mason has a voice of gpea
, COMPASS and depth. Her singing OF The
, | Return was warmly applauded.
( We do not wish to seem partial but can
dor and Justice compel us to accord to Mis-
NJ. Cabrere the praise of giving US the gen
Of the entertainment. This young lady ha
a fine soprano voice and she has been wei
!, | schooled To great natural advantages sh
. | has brought the aid of capital instruction
: and careful study. 1t is not often that on
may hear on the amateur boards such sing
ing as she gave us last night.
We can not particularze further an
: close. as we began, with saying that tn
y, concert was one of the very best ever give
in this city. 1t has Melted quite neat SUI
for the benevolent purpose which prompte
s il and for this and its general success a
