tbs ORAromo or THE CREArIoS'-St
Peters church was densely crowded last
evening on the occasion Of the perform
ance OF the Creation by Prof. Perring,
the church choir, the Mendelssohn Quar-
tette Club, and many other leading ANA
teur vocalists. Tho affair was brilliant
in the extreme, not only in point Of fash
ionable attendance, but as a musical
production. The oratorio was rendered
with exquisite taste, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience. The principal
yocalsts we're Miss Jennie Magevney
Miss Lynch, Mrs. Miles, Mrs. Boylan,
and Messrs. Peterson, Boyle, Gideon and
Kirkland. The solos, trios and choruses
were finely and most unsteady rendered.
The oratorio was carefully pruned down
by Prof. Perring, but yet it kept the au-
dience in the church from eight until
eleven o'clock, during which time the
swell of music never ceased. Haydn's
great composition was fully appreciated.
Prof. Perring and the accomplished anna
teurs may congratulate themselves upon
the success of the effort Of last night.
1t was such as cannot fail to be regarded
as musical triumph.
