ADJUSTMENTS.
THOMAS, SECOND ooNoERT.


Lincoln hall was again filled last night by an
eager and appreciative audience, TO listen to the
seductive strains evoked by Thomas baton. The
principal feature Of the first part was Rats sym
phony No. 5, after the German poet Burgers
celebrated ballad Of LenOre. II was divided into
three parts-Happiness In Love, Separation, and
Reunion In Death-and was one of the finest eff
forts IN the way OF descriptive music we have ever
listened TO. In the last part especially the steady
tramp, tramp OF the ghostly steed, rendered by
the Violas and eellos,J and his neighing and snort
ing as he rushes along, (most effectively given by
the strange-sounding trills on the wooden wind
instruments,) combined with the peculiar melody
10 produce weird and unique effect. Ofquite
different and decidedly more cheerful character
were the m0rcedHr from MeyeTbeer, Gle Pro-
Phete, " which opened the second part. Miss
Craneh strengthened the feeble impression pro-
dueed on musical people the night before by her
sympathetic and tasteful rendering Of her two
popular : Character as the preTioIs selections s.
To q very decided encore OF the second she re-
sponded with another pleasing Italian piece
LsZts sweet and defective Rhapsodie Hungroi5e
No. closed another Of these delightful entertain
ments.
THE NATIONAL THEATRE-FRITZ.
As predicted yesterday, Mr.. Emmett drew last

ment. He introduced with fine effect his origi-
nal character burlesque, and the following charm
ing songs and dances, composed by Mr.. Emmett:

MIR. Emmett by his St. Louis friends; IDot Tow
Harmonic;" "Sour Kraut," with banjo; 1.-THE
Brothers LuilSbyn with guitar, and schneider
w.ll be repeated, and an who have not Seen MT.
Emmett should engage seats.
THE THEATRE COMIQUE.
The Freeman sisters, now performing at the
Comique, justly deserve more than passing no
tice. Their bearing on the stage is perfectly
lady-like and graceful. They have charming
voices, and in rendering their songs an arch and
beautiful expression. Their repertoire IS selected
with excellent taste and Judgment, and they are
nightly the recipients Of a half dozen most en-
thusiastic eneoress In their line of business thew
are Incompatible The gentlemen Of he town S5
will greatly enjoy visit to the Comique this
week.
FORD's OPERA-HOUSE-THE MIN
STRELS
The corps Of Ethiopian artists now performing
at FOrd's are nightly attracting large and won.
derfully-pleased audiences. The specialtIes by
Morris, Goss and Fox, Hall and Barlow, Wilson,
Freeth and the yelling brothers are fresh and
miTth-prOYoking to the last degree. All who
enjoy minstrelsy will not miss this opportunity to
see one OF the best-organized bands in existence
band containing some names without peers in
the profession.
CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN.
There is no need of expatiating on the merits of
Charlotte Cushman as an elocutionist to those
who have ever seen her on the stage, and the
public Will doubtless need no reminder to induce
them to secure tickets to her readings this even
ing and tomorrow. But to those who from any
cause have never enjoyed the pleasure of seeing
and hearing Americas greatest living actress, we
would say: Don't, on any account miss this Op-
pOrtunity, but repair to Choate's at once and Sc
cure good seat, before they are all taken.
THE SACRED CONCERT.
Direct attention is called to the advertisement
of Mr.. Savile for the next sacred concert, at the
National theatre on Sunday evening. 1t will be
seen that the fayorite soprano, Mrs. ]. W. Cross;
the Well-knOWn tenor, Mr.. F. KNOCK; the eele-
brated either sOloist, Herr Franz Waldecker, and
the entire Washington S8ngerbund will appear
and take part in It. The fact that Mr. Saville Is
able to make such an arrangement as this shows
the increasing popularity Of that class Of amuse-
ment in this city.
BIJOU HERON.
With Daly's Fiith-aVenue theatre company
which comes next week to play 'Monsieur Al
phonse'' at the National, Biou Heron makes her
FIRST appearance here. She is the gifted daughter
