The Brooks Benefit.
Though the attendance at the theater
last night, on occasion Of the cOmpii-
mentary benefit to Manager Joseph
Brooks, was good, aud the audience COM
posed Uf representative ladies ana gen.
tlemen Of tue best class Of our citizens, yet
in numbers il did not come up to de-
served testimonial to the beneficiary nor
what We nad = right to expect from the
popular names Of professionals and am
ateurs which appeared on the pro-
gramme. However, there were other
attractions last night, and such as drew
upon the music loving and frequenters
Of the thesteT, which in some degree ac-
counts for there not being 8 crowded at
tendance upon the Brooks berefit. The
opening overture, by Professor Hand
werker's orchestra, excelleutly rendered,
awakened the expectations OF the au-
iience TO q high order Of the ILusical
eutertainment-one that it would ge
difficult for amateurs to keep IN to, but
aided 10y such professional ability as
Professors Levy, Perring, Karch and
Arnold, the entire programme was in-
terpreted surprisingly well, each receiv-
T. gEviHQnHnG of QnnFgRfQ q
ton from the audienc-prolonge ap-
plause, decided eucores, and frequently
tributes Of flowers. Miss Carrie Ennis
received for her contraltO solo, 80 Mic
Fernando a beautifully arranged
basket Of flowers, a magnificent bouquet
and severaI smaller tributes, all evidenc-
ing handsome acknowledgment of that
Iady'l gift Of song. Professor Karch's
violin solo, Souvenir de Bellini," !"
was received with genuine APP
plause and encore, to which he re-
enopded with an aria even more pleas
ity Than the first. The solos by Mrs.
Jsgaia l.. BOylau and Miss Lizzie Mil
Ter were gems for which the audience
made acknowledgements. The 6dSSO solo
"G0od Night, Farewell" by Mr.. A.
Refs; the tiute solo, fantasia from "Par-
don de Pl0ermel,n by Mr.. James Will
kins. jr.; the tenor solo, THE Peace Of
the Valley" by Prof Perring, with cor
net O5ligatO, by Prof. ATnold-all of the
first uart, were rendered in most pleas
ing manner. Prof. Levy added new
iaurels TO bis professional fame in the
management Of the concert last night
indeed, no one Of his years has reached
3 higher position in the musical
world, here or elsewhere, than
Mr.. Levy, who withal is held, and de.
servedly, in the highest esteem as a
pianist o. unususl excellence by our best
and mOstcultivated people. The hick-
eriDr Grand piano, furnished from the
music house Of HOllenberg, attracted
much attention and comment, under
tine zkillml touch Of PrOis. Levy and
Perriug, forming one Of the features of
the evening. We have spoken Of the
power, compass, and beauty OF tone OF
these instruments so uttel before that
what We could say now would be bat a
re,,e.itisn Of meTited praises. The
C6ie-erjn., for which Hollenberg is
agent. is certainly among the leading
instruments everywhere, and is so held
Nv the lights OF the mnsical profession.
