wednesday Evenings Concert.
A good attendance of our most cultivated
citizens assembled at the Rutland Opera
House last Wednesday evening, TO listen TO
Prof. George A. Nlietzke's concert. Pre-
vious to the commencement, Col. A.dace +.
Walker appeared upon the stage in behalf of
Mr.. Mietzke to apologize for the absence of
Mr.. Remmertz, the basso soloist who had
been advertised. He said that arrangements
had been fully made with Mr.. Remmertz,
and that he had written indicating what
pieces he would sing also that in another
communication he had made change A
telegram was received from him too late to
consummate other arrangements. The con-
cert would 60 on as well as possible in view
of Mr.. Remmertzs absence. His place
would be supplied by others, and Mr.. La
wake had consented TO sing his part in the
selection from Don Muno.
The concert then proceeded in accord
ance with the following

tonal Church Choir
The piano duet by Mr.. Mietzkc and Miss
Joyce was very finely rendered, exhibiting
great skill, and received less applause
than it deserved. 1t begins very softly and
gradually increases in power and ends with
brilliant climax. Mr.. Metzkes "Spring
Song" was sung from manuscript, and
is very pleasing quartettc, with short
bass and tenor solos. Ella Earls piano
solo was well rendered, and was apprecia-
ted by the audience. "Across the Sands
is passionate love song, and Mr.. LavaKe
rendered the spirit Of it admirably. His
enunciation was clear and distinct SO that
every word could be understood, and his
singing was so perfect as to appear simple
and easy. He was cmphatically encored,
and in response gave that touching ballad,
"Nlald of Dundee" spendidly. His voice
is clear tenor, more robust than Fessen-
dens, but having less melody
The "Song of the Triton is a bright
qnartette with distinctly marked time and
would be rollickng, il not sung very light
ly. Miss Joyce's solo was not as brilliant
music as she usually gives in concerts but
was played with great ability. "There's
one / love dearly" was the best quartette of
the evening. The singers were recalled
and repeated one verse
"Annic o the banks O. Dee" is a sad
lovesong and Mr.. Lavake's rendering of it,
called out storm of applause, which
would not be slenced except by repetition
of one of the stanzas. Here Ella Earl
sang "The Gipsys welcome" which she
gave two years ago. Her voice has in
creased in power since then, and when
fully matured will doubtless be among the
best She was encored and gave another
song, the title of which We did not learn
The closing selection from the Legend
of Don Munio' was given with the lights
turned down, the singers standing behind
the scenes, to give the effect of vcsper
service in a cathedral. The music was
soft and low, and tie scene in front of the
singers drove the sound into the flies, max
ing it less effective than it would have been
on the open stage. The music was very
fine, especially the cave Maria chorus.
Musically, and we hope financially, the
concert was a success. Of course it would
have been more agreeable if Mr.. Remmertz
had appeard, but it was not Mr.. Mietzkes
fault, and lac deserves credit for doing The
best that could be done under the circum-
stances.
