! The audience was good ono, coneidering thu
storm Which set in about the time the concert
began, but the Society. for some reason, turned
out With thinner rauks in its sopranos and altos
than usual There was = compensation attach
ed to this fact however, for it gave the tenors
who haTe heretofore been smothered BY the
ladies' an opportunity to be heard. Notwith-
standing it's reduction, and tho fact that many
leading voices were absent. the Society did some
good work. especially tho ladles, whose singing
OF the Ba1glel number was more
than ordinarily crcditablo. The Mon
delssohn cantata Was finely given, and
Mi.s Hsskeu acquitted berselt in superior
manner, more particularly in tho FIRST solo ct
tune The second solo, 80 for tue wings Of
the dove," one Of the most exquisite numbers
Mendelssohn ever wrote, WAS sung with real
feeling, but not with ths e1actneas Of tune or
nicely OF intonation that characterized the first.
Besides Mr. Wolfsohn's recital OF the Schumann
muBic, he played with Miss Ineeraoll Schu-
mann andante and variations, which waa one Of
the mos. enjoyable numbers Of the evening. Tho
lady is also entitled to tbs highest credit for
her discriminating and intelligent sccompani-
meDts. Tho Beethoven will now rest from its
labors until fall, aud can place upon its record
for the season: Tha Schubert Trio in E major;
the duo from Beethoven's "Rulns Of Athonh";
