This troupe is composed of the following
distinguished talent, viz: Madame Camilla
Urso, the famous violinst Miss Clara
Doria, soprano; Mr.. w. II. Fessenden,
tenor; Nj. ]. +. Rudolphsen, basso
Mons. Auguste Sauret, pianist. II is ac-
knowledged to be one of the best troupes
that Madame Urso has ever gathered about
her for tour of concerts, and she has GER
tainly shown excellent management in her
selections. Mr.. Fesscnden was singing as
second tenor in the celebrated Temple
quartette of Boston, and, quite naturally,
could not be induced to leave so popular an
organization without extraordinary temp
tations being held out to him. Mr.. Ru-
dolphsen has sung in all the principal cities
of the Union for the past eight or nine years
under various auspices, and has achieved
very enviable reputation both in oratorio
and concert. Miss Doria is a young lady
comparatively new to the public stage, but
has won much praise in Boston as singer
of rare attainments, while her voice shows
a good degree of cultivation and promises
better things in the future. Mons Sau-
ret was in Vermont with Carlotta Patti and
Mario three years ago and is an artist of
wide repute.
The spacious Town hall at Brandon,
which is one of the very best halls in the
state for concert purposes, was, on this oc-
casion, filled to its utmost. The audience
could not have fallen far short of thou
sand in number and were composed of the
best citizens of Brandon, with a goodly
sprinkling of music-lovers from Rutland
and other neighhoring towns. The follow

The programme as above was greatly
heightened by the demands of the audi

really fine music by numerous encores and
repeated applause. ..fs.
Madame Urso very generously yielded
to the demands of the audience for an
encore at each appearance. For the first
she performed that ever popular air, ''The
Last Rose of Summer" and variations,
with exquisite effect. For the second she
gave the "Carnival de Venice with all
its brilliancy of composition and its be-
witching air and variations.
Mr.. Fessendcn proved to be as great u
favorite as ever. The song "The Rhine
Maiden" is very pleasing air, and was
sung finely. To the encore that followed
he sung the ballad "Marie.'
Mr. Rudolphsen was decidedly happy
as humorist in the solo from the opera
of Son and Stranger, was recalled and
sung "Simon, the Cellarer," with excel
lent effect.
Miss Dcria was enc0red at her first ap-
pearance in solo and sang "Robin Adair"
quite charmingly. The only trouble was
trfe too much breath. Her sustained
tones are particularly fine. Her last solo
was not 30 effective, either in compost
