aria at the end Of the first act. "Ah fors lui,"

the conclusion OF the opera she invested the
role with rare grace and delicacy. The
tenor's voice and style last evening did not make
the part OF Alfredo particularly interesting. The

Conception, was given last night in the Brooklyn
Academy OF Music. The programme was such as
to attract an immense audience, as the efforts OF
Mile. violetta Colville, and the performances or

of the club house, in East Fourth street. the

remarkably large number OF LADIES were pres

In the hall was brilliant one. The concert was
given under tne direction Of Herr A. Paur, whose
make both It and himself famous. He mas lust
