AMUSEMENTS.



Those who have not already, should
procure tickets to the concerts which
have been arranged to take place at
| the Memphis club hall on Monday
evening, the twenty-second instant, in
stead of Tuesday, as wss at first pro-
posed. Prof. PerTing will preside ms
musical director, and we notice the
names Of Misses Kate Harmon ard
Mary HiizfieId, Messrs. Siebsck, H0gg,
| Harper, Petersen aud Lamont rs par.
| ticipants in the vocal and orchestral
performance. Mr. Hogg, the beneh-
ciaFy, deserves, as he viii no doubt re-
ceive, a bumper on this occasion; in
| fact, we are assured that such will be
the case from the rapid sale Of tickets.
The Masonic Picnic.
The grand Masonic picnic, TO take
place at James's park on Wednesday,
the twenty y-fourth instant, under the
auspices of Kilwinning Lodge, No. 34l,
will receive the largest attendance, per-
haps, that ever assent bled within that
inclosure, as the preparations for enjoy
ment are on granGer scale, OF more
variety, and in the hands of the gentle
men Of the committee of arrangements
-well-known for their zeal in whatever
they undertake-will be managed so
that delightful day of enjoyment is
insured. Leubrie's baby-show has ex-
cited the intensest enthusiasm among
loving mammas and doting papas, and
their little cherubs are undergoing a
thorough training for the occasion, so
that each may appear to the best advan-
tage and, of course, bear away the blue
ribbon. As this reporter expects to be
one Of the Judges in the baby-shOw,
parents are warned that the moral as
well as the physical perfection of the
babies will be closely scrutinized, and
should govern themselves accordingly.
Arn0ld's (the Old Memphis) band will
make music for the occasion, and will
be one of the attractions Of the day.
The Promenade Concerts.
The members of the Musicians pro-
tective union are lending every effort to
make their appearance at the ExpOsi-
ton building in the first of the cOntem-
plated series of promenade concerts for
the season. Their programmes will be
made up of the best selections from the
most popular composers, and the ac-
knowiedged ability of Professor J
Ernest Perring and the ladies and gen.
tlemen who will participate, We are
assured of rich musical feast one even
ing in each week. The Exposition
building has been selected because of It's
capacity to accommodate the large
crowds that will cOngregate on these
occasions, and because the more beauti-
full effects of the orchestra can be better
enjoyed in the building than in the open
air. For the information OF those who
are of opinion that Open-aif concerts
would be more enjoyable, we will state
that the concerts viii not consist solely
of brass-band performances, but will be
agreeably interspersed with the BRASS
band, the orchestra, vocal and instru-
mental solos, DUETS, etc. The first con-
cert will be duty announced through the
city papers.
The odd Fellows and the Girls.
These admirable gentlemen-they are
almost wholly of that sOrt-the Odd Fell
lows of Memphis, are going away out to
Bartlett next Tuesday, not to 'resOlute,"
like the politicians, not to make a mon
strous noise in the political world, not to
dispose of the cOunty's offices, but to
spend a day in the unbroken enjoyment
OF rural social festivities. They tell US,
these curious fellows, so extremely odd
are they in being sensible and generous
to the poor, and unfortunate, and help
less, they tell us they are going to take
along with them to the innocent village
of Bartlett, various baskets with shIay
bottles and glasses, and all sorts of deli
cacies for themselves and guests. There
will be as many pretty girls as baskets,
and as tenderly guarded and watched
over. And there will be music as deli
cious as the viands, and sweet as the
dewy lips and lustrous eyes of the fairest
daughters of the city. Then, too, all the
pretty girls from hills aud valleys ABOUT
Bartlett are coming down into the little
village nestled by the roadside, to join
in the dance on the green sward. 1t
will be glorious day for the Odd Eel"
lows and for Bartlett. Good music for
the occasion is guaranteed by the fact
that the Arnolds have been engaged,
and will delight the assembled gallants
and beauties with rare musical gems.
