when it may be remembered. It was
one of the pieces played. The other or
chestral esorts, Suppe's overture to the
Poet and Peasant and the rrumpeter
Polka were splendidly given; also
the cornet solos by Thomas Cara.
Miss Congdon sang "Oh give me but
my Arab steed," very effectively, bat
somehow or other the orchestra and
singer did not seem to get along quite
so happily as could be wished, and
this holds good with regard to Mr..
Lindsay's song "Will-o.ths- Wisp."

We must not forget to mention the
delightful guitar duet by Messrs.

at ease, yet she sings with excellent
taste aud effect, and in the rendition

Sausr and Passmore were the accom-

duties with their usual skill.
We cannot speak too highly of the
efficiency OF Mr.. Louis jacobson, the
talented leader under whose direction
we have of late been favored with the
best orchestral music ever produced In
this section. There is II fact that
will possibly occur to our readers on
reflection, and that is this: In no To-
cality of the same size In the Union
a there be found amateurs excelltng
those residing in our midst, and who,
combining together. gave on Saturday
evening the musical treat oil the
season.
