THE CONCERT TONIGHT.

Tonight, at Fields opera house,
there will be concert, of which Miss
Nealie Risley will be the leading star,
sustained by Our best amateurs. We
do not profess to be critics in such
matters. Every man has his peculiar
gifts. We would not deceive, know
ingly, the humblest human being on
earth. But on this special occasion,
we ask the people of Dallas who love
song to 20 and hear Miss Risley sing.
She Is u southern girl, long resident
of Houston, but for nearly four years
has been the leader of the choir in ST.
Paul's church, Broadway, New York.
-Four years ago, we repeatedly heard
her sing in private circles be-
fore the first music masters
of New York, and theirunited voice de
clared her to be prodigy-the very
hooking bird of the south. Did pro-
priety permit, we would mention facts
to her praise which would draw every
generous heart of Dallas out tonight.
But this we cannot do, and must be
content to say to our friends, "if you
love the melody of nature, delineated
by one of Gods purest creatures" so
and hear Miss Cornelia b. Risley to-
night.
