The CONCERT LAST NIGHT. Last night
Hanley's Hall was crowded, there being
scarcely standing room. The audience
was for the most part q very appreciative
one; but we must say that the condAct
Of some among "the gods" was tit only
Ior the lowest meloaeon. They should
remember that whistling and screaming
Is not quite the thing at an amateur con-
cert, and that those who are trying to
please them do so through no love of gain,
and that singing Is not their profession
Especially when the ladies are kind
enough to sing, for II good end, before a
large and mixed audience, the hearers
should not criticise too infinitely. We
are happy to say, however, that the class
oil critics above spoken of was very few
IN number. Miss Fannie Lowell was
loudly encored after her song of " Katie
strong" Mrs. Kasten's sweet, rich
voice, with her fine musical talent, told
we'll on the audience in "The day
when you'll forget me-" and "The Little
Widow" The rendition of "What are
the Wild Waves Saying" by Mrs. j. j.
Halpin and Miss Ada Esterlee, seemed to
bring one to the very shore of the sea,
with all the fancies that hover around it.
The Echo" was rendered remarkably
we'll in the sweet soprano of Miss Lowell,
and the soft rich alto of Mrs.
boutwell,. The male musicians.
Messrs Horst, Sturm, McCarty, NJ.
Levin (son of j. Levin), Ward, Wy
att, Redewell and Haure, acquitted them
selves very well on the whole. Miss Ester
lee reading was good, with the exception
Of a few faults always found in amateurs.
She would, with proper training be-
come an excellent reader. Altogether
The ladies and gentlemen who gave this
concert deserve the thanks of all for the
pleasant evenings entertainment, and
credit for the good york they have done.
PROVIDING FOR AN EMERGENCY The
arenching rain which fell on Tuesday re-
minded those having business houses on
Aacour street that they had to do some
'hing to prevent an overflow of their cell
lars and store-rooms. Accordingly a
lumber Of these property holders yester-
aay set men to work with pick and shovel

uence' The gutter is to be run from the
