TIRE SECOND ADELAIDE rH1LLIrrS CONCERT,
The second concert by tho Adelaide Philllppa
troupe Was giyec on Tuesday evening ut MoCor-
micl's Hall. to very light audience, ia compari-
son with that which groetcd tho troupe on tho
first eycning, although tic programme was more
attractive. and, in many respects, tho concert
waa botter ono. Thoro was much that vas
had, but there woro some oasea In tho PERFORM
anco, and these wero contributed mainly by bins
Phillipps Mr. Karl. nnd h1r. peaso. Miss
Ph!llippa' singing Of Ler balladR, " When Wo
Arc Old and Gray" t. Tie Rose-DuHl," +" !" "The
Laughing Song" aud l1r. Poaso's protty song,
" Ahsenco (tllc latter with alr. Peasos accom-
paniment). recalled the artists best days In
Air. PoaHo's song, 4 fow Of her low toucs woro
fairly matchtcss for their superb quality. while,
in "Ile RoAe-Bush," her iptcnso feeling
and pathos TRANSFORMED this otherwise meaning-
Less nud nlonotonous melody. iuto q thing Uf
beauty, long to- 10 remembered. 1r. Poase'a
playing Of the sixth Ut tie eories Of I!Bzt's
{" "RAapeodics," and Ills arrangement Of Gounod's
:' Ave afarte," which he gave for the encore to
1t, was In hs best atyle, aud formed one Of tho
most agreeable features OF the programme. We
regret TINT we could not have heard Dir. PaaBe
in something to have really toatcd bis powers,
however, as legitimate player. Nearly all Of
his solectionB have beon moraly show pieces, aud
for these tho instrument itself WAS not adaptod.
The remaining oasis Of which 80 have spoken
was Mr. Karls excel!ont singing Of tho
eomor, msde her debut with tho ''Venzano
Waitz.' which wnH gi7on in an amateuriBl kind
Of way, although tic lady has q voice Of pleaa-
ant quality ai,d considerable 1e1i6ility. Or
the Factotum song from the "Barbor" IN
mnnnor which would warrant Car! Formes and
Ferrapti in bringing suits Tor libel. Mr. Colby
furnished the acc0tn}'nDiments, aud 1t is due
TINT gentleman to Say that they were invariably
excellent.
