The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-08-08

There was very fair audience, in point
of numbers despite the inclemency of the
weather, at the Opera House last evening,
to hear the celebrated Flyers Sisters and
troupe. Had it not been for the rain, we
think the house would have been full. IN
fortunately, this troupe were caught in a
rainstorm at their previous visit here, and
Rutland, take it all in all, has not had the
opportunity to treat the troupe as it SO
richly deserves. But in spite of all this
they have many warm admirers and friends
here who would go nearly every evening
the wear round to hear their music, and will
always be glad when they appear.
1t would be superfluous for us at this
time to attempt any extended comment
upon the performance of this troupe at this
concert, for when we say, as we do most
heartily, that they sang as sweetly and sat
isfactorily as on their first appearance here,
it viii give the right idea of the character
of the entertainment and be praise enough.
Two of the party, Miss Anna and Mr..
King, were suffering from hoarseness, and
were not heard to so fine advantage as they
otherwise would have been, but they dis
played rare faculty in covering up all
traces of hoarsenes, and sang what they did
sing with their usual effect The following
was the

The programme was received from be-
ginning to end with the most rapturous APP
plause and nearly every number was en-
cored-some receiving a double encore.
On account of the hoarseness before men
toned, the audience were obliged to give
up the pleasure of a solo from Mr.. King
and from Miss Anna, save her solo in the
"Miserere," but the quartettes given in
place of the expected solos were of such a
character that none could complain
The quartette of Steal away was UNI
eXceptionable in its rendition, and received
a rousng encore. The company responded
with " Nobody knows what trouble see,
Lord'-another of those rich, jubilee mel
odies, in which this troupe excel all others
travelling. That charming quartette Of
" Greeting to Spring" which was so great
ly admired at their previous visit. was sang
with the same excellence and encored, to
which they responded with "Gwine to
ride up in a chariot. The remainder of
the quartettes were simply fine, and were
received with storms of applause.
The Duet of Excelsior" was one of
the greatest triumphs of the evening and
was encored, In this the "sweet voiced
tenor" was heard with especially fine effect.
The " Miserere was given with much sue
cess, and, indeed, this can be said of the
entire performance of the evening.
The company 90 to Whitehall to-day to
spend the Sabbath, and then on to Sara
toga. May they visit Rutland early and
often.
