The nfth concert OF the Philharmonic Society
took place on saturday evening at the Academy Of
Music. The FIRST orchestral work on the bill was
the Jupiter" symphony Of Mozart No. 4, in
major, opus 49, one OF the grandest works In the
symphonic repertoire. The performance Of this
work was characterized by more brio, finish and
care than has been generally found at those con-
certs OF late years The passages for the wind nstru-
mcnts-whlch are by no means easy, and which at
times tax the powers OF the performers to the ut
most extent-were admirably given, and the strings
showed more perceptible color than usual. The
other orchestral work In the programme was Ran's
'Lenoren symphony, which was brought out some
time ago by Mr.. Theodore Thomas with great
recidne. The soloists were MISS Antonio Henne
contralto, and NJ. Emile Guyon, pianist.
The former gave Interesting render
ing OF the wellknown scena from Gluck's "Or.
phcus,n 'Che faro senza Euridice," but failed
utterly to interpret the fancful songs OF Rubin

The concert at the Grand opera House last even
