CINCINNATI, May l4.-There was tn
same rush Of people at this afternoon
performance that has characterized thos,
of the previous days, Every seat wa
filled and many were compelled to stand
Promptly at the moment Mr.. Thoma
mounted the stand and without a mo
ments delay the opening piece, Becthoveni
Overture, Conservation Of the house, be
gan. 1t was given by the orchestra IL
their usual taultless manner, and was fol
lowed by Arietta, from Beethoven, in
guesta trOmba, in m excellent style by
Mr., Whitney.
Aria, Dove Solo, MOlarts Marriage Of
Figoru, sung by Miss Whinnery, was
given with great feeling Of tenderness
The aria from Orpheus, Che faro.senza
EurydiCe, sung by Miss Emma Cranch,
was fine rendition Of this beautiful
piece Of melody. She was followed by
u portion of the third act of WagnerS,
Meistersinger Won Fuernberg, consisting
Of the intOduCtion Of Walther's prize song,
sung by BisChof and overture. The first
and last portion was rendered by
the orchestra. This composition Of
Wagner, although differing material
ly from either the TennehOuser
or LOhCngrin is filled with bold ideas,
marvellous harmony and delightful pas-
sages, and showed wonderful fertility
in the production Of new and startling
effects without injury to the harmony.
"Oh, give to save poor soul" brought
to Miss Cary's feet the grand ovation Of
the day, and repeated calls and long con.
tinued applause brought her several times
smilingly to the front, each appearance
becoming the signal for fresh shouts and
bursts Of applause.
Mr.. Whitney came next in rank for
favor, when he followed with charming
Aria 20, ruddier than the Cherry" from
Handel, for which he was rewarded
with burst Of approval only excelled
by that given TO Miss Cary, Liszps
Rhapsodie IIOngrcsc No. ., was an ex-
quisite work Of art delightfully."- interpret
ed by the orchestra and the CLOSING piece
Of the matinee. A Quartette from Veide
was sung by Miss Smith, Miss Cary and
Messrs. BaisChoif and Whitney, fitting
finale for one Of the most delicious matt
nees Of the season. .,.
In the evening another house Of grail
fying nroportion greeted the musicians.
There we're no crowded aisles, but
every seat was filled, and anunbroken sea
Of faces was presented to thestnge. Better
order prevailed and Thomas was spared
the agony Of noisy audience. Sclubert's
9th Symphony in Q was the first given.
There was marked difference between
this and BeethOven's 9th Symphony Of lie
evening previous, each possessing It's
many exCellcncies and maintaining the
distinctive individuality Of their compo-
sers. The rendition was faultless, and the
loud applause greeting the different mem
bers was heartily bestowed. Atthe close
Thomas was treated to M ovation by the
audience.
Next came the last selection from Wag-
ner OH the seaSon's programme two pOr-
tions from the WalkuGrCs Farewell TO
Brunhilde, and the magic fire scene. This
opened ut the point where the Walkeure,
having yielded to the cntreaties OF Brun-
hide, ondeavOred to conceal his emotions
and In his wrath burst upon them from u
cloud. The effect Of the music was Of the
most startling and realistic character,
enchanting the audience to the closest at-
tentiOn. The Arial part was given by
Mr.. Remmerta in magnificent manner.
CLOSING OF THE FEsrlvA1,-A GRAND
OVATION.
CINCINNATI, May 14.-'The closing por-
ton Of the Festival was given under the
direction Of Otto Singer, who has been
lnboring for months past in drilling the
chorus. As he appeared on the stage a
wild shout Of 10y broke forth and shower
Of bo1uets literally rained down upon
him. The audience and chorus joined
heartily in doing honor to the master that

apparently uncertain what to do. His
unaffected mOdesty gave him no aid IN his

Lastly, gathering up few Of the flowers
and making motion Of thanks, he
mounted the stand. Then the soloiSts en-
ieavored to tread their way among the
flowers that covered the floor. Uncertain
for moment rs to what course to pursue
they laughingly gathered up the scattered
flowers aud laid them on the conductors
stand at Mr.. Singers feet, amidst another
torrent Of cheers from the audience.
Promethcus, by List, was the closing
piece. Mr.. Singer had been unremitllng
In his efforts to produce this IN n style
worthy Of the occasion, and the chorus
gave evidence in their superior execution

mobility under his baton that the in
struclor was master in his art, and that
his labors had not been In vain.
Al the close another wild shout burst
over the house. Calls were inade lot
Singer, Thomas and others, but only the
first named gentleman was on the stage
