| Long before the hour appointed for the
| beginning OF the concert every seat il
the church was occupied, even the ais'es
were filled with chairs, and standing
room wss not to be had At eight
o'clock Professor Winkler took bis seat
at the beautiful organ, and opened the
evenings entertainment with the
introductory, a sonata for the organ,
which was excellently performed
and drew forth the beauties and
power of the instrument, as well as
demanding Of the profe ssor his most
skillful touches and exquisite pi Ofessi0n-
al abilities. In all these both the ins' ru-
ment and the master were equsl to the
demands made upon them, to
which the audience gave the
best evidences OF appreciation of
the selection and its performance
they were permitted to manifest, since
the programme contained the admoni-
ton that e7lcores were respectfully yet
positively prohibited. The first selection
after the Instrumental Introductory was
the "Gloria," from Missa Pro Pace, by
La Hache, grand chorus, which wa3
participated in by q number of the
popular young lady and gentlemen
amateurs Of this city, and during
which = Mrs. Miles rendered
excellently soprano solo, the lady
being in excellent voice and
thoroughly in sympathy with the sub.
ject which she Interpreted in a manner
which gave evidence of careful study
and thorough training. The second Sc
lection, trio for the flute, vioIoncello
and organ, arranged by Prof. Karch,
organist of st Peters, was a gem-the
performers, Messrs. Wilkins, Karch and
Wintler, presiding at their respective
instruments in a mastery manner. The
bass solo, Jesu Dulcis MeD10Tio, as sung
by Mr., Borneman, was sublime prOduc-
ton, in which the wonderful compass
and power Of voice and its mastery con-
troll, and that in building not the best
adapted in point of acoustics, places
that gentleman on the list as among the
best, If not the best, bassos ever heard in
this city. In the sextette, 0 SdcTun1 Con.
UiUiNn, Miss Kate Harmon, soprano,
and Mr.. B. Hollenberg, tenor, were con-
spicuous in their respective parts, their
voices blending beautifully, and together
with the alto of Miss Mary Hitzfield
and the bass of Mr.. Refs, this se-
lection was go well rendered ss to place
it among the best of the evening. Prof.
Karch's violin solo was a mastery et-
fort, proving that gentleman thorough
artist. The duett Of alto and bassO-
Creator Alne Siderunl-by Miss Carrie
Ennis and Mr.. Borneman, was another
gem of the evening, which had 1t not
Deen breach of 1.-the rules" would
have received hearty encore. The
next and last selection Of the first part
was soprano aria-AVe Maria
with flute, violin and organ
accompaniment, in which Mrs. Miles
again sustained her well-merited reputa-
tion as one of our leading amateur So
pranos. The second part of the pro-
gramme contained some rare and beau
tiful selections, and was equally as well
rendered as the first, in which Mrs.
Mansford, Miss Magevney and Mr..
Borneman were conspicuous, but we
regret that lack Of space forbids as COM
prehensive notice as the excellent man.
ner in which all rendered their parts
and interpreted the themes entrusted to
them, merits. Suffice it to say that ali ac-
quilted themselves thoroughly in keep
ing with the good opinions they have al
ready won, and both the performers and
the programme, replete with rare musi-
cal gems, reflected much credit and add
ed new laurels to Professor Winkler's
well-earned and well-merited reputs-
ton as a thorough professor Of the
science of music, and careful teacher
and director. Last nights programme
should be repeated by all means-its ex-
cellent arrangement, beautiful rendi-
ton, together with the worthy object for
which the concert was given, would
guarantee another crowded house.
