slDsUMMER-SI1HT's MUSIC.
The second nsidsummer-nighc'sf festival OF the
Chicago Liedsrzranz, held Wednesday evening,
afforded another illustration Of the fact that only
on the North Side ha.e they mastered the art o!
making melody and malt liquors flow IN harrno-
n,ous unison. In vain may the South Side re-
sorts essay it the liquors may leap forth With
glad gurgle from siEver-plated BpigoE. aud there
may be music enough. but the true harmony. IN
which each sustaius That exact proportion to the
other that renders bo.h delicious is and ever is
fated to ba foreign to the South SIde.
On tue Norlseite only ars found the cond1-
tions necessary to the perfect unison ct
both namely: entire populaco endowed With
d refined musical taste and which has attained
such degree OF culture that the sterner se1- in
stead OF stealing out between the first and eec-
oad sod second and third parts to imbioe apir~
itnal refreshments, aud returning flushed aud
redoleut OF liquor. quietly keep down the'r
tonpornture with draughts Of cool lager or hight
nhlne wine, which they drink in such moderation
that the ladies need not fear to join; and then:
while seated in tho open garden. which is Hooded
with light from 100 gas-)ets tor the occaslon'
they eujUy the music. SO it waa to The per1ec.
tion at Lincoln Pavilion Wednesday evening, and
looking over the thfoog gathered there one
couldn't but SEQ that 1t Il al not 10 much tho
music or the matt liquors as it was the audience
itseif that maaes the su1umer-night's concerts
On the North Side a Bucces5.
Over there nobody feels oppressed With that
latent sense of isnproprlety, that almost gully
feeling that ove.tak:s folks On the South Side
when they venture into baer-gardon. VI
coul 80 there arc beer-gardens aud beer-gardens,
and the better class Of heef-Eardens OF the
North Side are very different institutions from
what pass by that name in other quarters
OF tho city. In midsummer, On the North Side,
the little ones are the best, and the best pat
ronized, places Of popular amusement, to which
one takes ones family or joun5 lady acquaint.
aures very much Us to the opera when musicai
programme is announced.
The audience, too, has quite as fine an aprre-
ciation OF MUSIC as has the operattc audience IN
any Of tue groat cities, and IL froquenty--as was
the case Wednesday night-Quite as brilliant,
Even the array OF carriages At the entrance to
take the guests home was not wanting, and OF
all our summer ar,usements this affair vas ono
of the most entertaining. Brilliant and success
full; and If the Liederkraaz can do a. we'll
again, tbs oftener they repea: thor midsummer
festivals the more gratitude will the public owe
them.
The music was furnished By tho Liederk1anz
Society, assisted by Balatka's full orchestra.
The programme was an excellent ono.
