IHE LOVERS OF CLASSICAL MUSIC have cause
to thank Mr.. Geo. Felix Benkert for the
pleasure enjoyed by them last evening at
Marini's Hall at his second chamber concert
The entire programme was choice. The Quar-
tuor OF Beethoven for violin. viola, cello, and
piano, was finely rendered, but most ENJOYABLE
was the septuor of Fescs. These chamber con-
certs are given every two weeks, and offer a
great musical treat which should not be over
looked The execution of Mr.. Benkert last
evening was in every WAY artistic
