THE MEDLEssoHN CONCERT, LAST EVENING.
There was not full house, last evening. ai
the Mendelssohn Concert but the audience was
intelligent and appreciative, and kindly re-
warded the excellent performances OF the accom-
plished organization. Messrs. Hamm, and
Hennig, the new members of the Club, distin-
guished themselves, and added fresh laurels TO
those heretofore gathered by the Mendelssohn,
in Wilmington.
Madam Anna Granger Dow, who accompanies
the instrumental performers, as vooolist was
stranger here, but made favorable impression.
She has q soprano voice, somewhat light in char
Acter, but of tine culture, and her execution and
method are good.
The programme was well chosen, and where
everything was 30 well rendered, 1t Is difficult
to particulArize. Each selection was gem, and
the whole concert thoroughly delightful.
