s. ,nerai Exercises in the Lower Girls
High School.

Although the building used for this
school is worst adapted for the purpose
of any on the rent roll, Mrs. Pitkin at
tempted something In the way Of general
exercises yesterday afternoon. The rooms
are all small, and separated from each other
by halls, so that those who could not find
places in the one used tor the assembly
were nearly unable to hear anything and
and entirely unable to see the speakers.
Yet the pupils exhibited talents worthy of
better opportunities, and we sincerely hope
the committee on schoolhouses will look
around and get some building which will
suit better. There were very many of the
pare ents of the pupils in attendance, chiefly
ladies. and only three or four gentlemen,
including Superintendent Boothby and one
of the members of the committee on high
schools.
The reading of the several young ladies
was very good, especially so of Misses Lee,
Pokorney, Murphy, Hart, Friedlander,
Schinkle. Doubtless with anything like
suitable rooms, these young ladies. aided
by their faithful teachers. would make a
decided mark. The following is the pro-

GrUnewald Hall.

The vocal and instrumental concert given
last evening at Grunewald Hall, for the
benefit of the First Baptist Church, was
eminently successful in musical and ar
tistic point of view, but We regret to state
that the array Of empty chairs precluded
the possibility OF its being very great
success financially. The attendance was
very select and the audience appreciative,
but the hall SHOULD have been crowded,
both on account of the unusual attractions
Of the programme and the merits of the
cause for which the entertainment was
given.
Owing to the indisposition of Miss Grune-
berg considerable change in the bill was
rendered necessary. The entertainment
began with tenor solo by Mr.. Davis, after
which Mons. Lourde, of the opera, sang the
ballad lie Paysan." Mr.. Loulde was in fine
voice, and his spirited and pathetic vocali-
zation brought to mind a remark made on
his first appearance on the opera boards.
The remark was made by one of the most
exacting critics, and occurred during the
second act of Lies HuguenOts." 1t was as
follows: "By the muse! if this is the second
baritone what nust the first bel'
The singing of LIE Paysan" was enthus-
iastically applauded, and Mr.. Lourde, in an
swer to recall, sang an aria from 'Le Bar
biere de Seville"
NJ. Joubert played violin solo, Sironi's
"Song Without Words" We have already
alluded, not long since, to NJ. Joubett's
marvellous skill. but last evening his exc
cutiOn was better than ever.
Mile. Lagye, of the opera, sang with all
the sweetness and artistic grace which has
made her so great favorite at the opera
this season.
M. D'Aqnin executed q most difficult
but brilliant composition on the flute.
The indisposition of Miss Gruneberg caused
the substitution of the trio from the first
act of "Trovatore" in place OF the quatuor
from "Rigoletto."
Before closing we would call attention to
the fact that our young and talented
fellow w-townmen, Messrs. II. Joubert and
G. DAquin, give grand vocal and IN
strumental concert at the Opera House
next Monday evening. NJ. Devoyod. Nine.
Devoyod-A -Acs, Mile. Eagye, Mme. Mercier-
Bier, and that prince Of leaders, M. Momas,
with the full orchestra Of the opera, will
assist

Historical.

Anybody in search Of political inform a.
tion can be accommodated by Roundabout,
of the Times. Here is case in point from
that paper of last evening:
Roundabout is asked this question: "W ere
Messrs. Kinsella and Stevens returned by
both boards as elected to the Legisla ture
from the ninth representative district, par
ish of Orleansl'
They were not. j. B. Eustis and ia mes
Mcconnell were returned by the LyDch
board, and w. C. Kinsella and William
Stevens by the Forman and Isabelle boa rds.
No doubt the interrogation is satisfied
now: but the future historian of our period,
who haply falls upon a file of the Tines,
viii, we fear, be terribly bewildered.
