MUSIC.

80 --~
ccIlence, have ranged from q fair success to
dasco. Perhaps nothing worse than the per-
fornance Of "The Bohemian Girl has ever
been heard in Chicago or the civilized world. 1t
vas so bad Us to be unique; SO utterly wanting
in every requisite Of music and action as to be
simply bu1lesque, relieved here and there BY
occasional spasms Of intelligence displayed
by Mr. Karl. II the people on the
,taxe had just escaped from the mad
house or All inebriatc asylum, they
.ould hardly have done worse As whole,
the season has been unsatisfactory. It has
given US few enjoyable presentations by Nine
Patnieri, some good singing by Brisnoli, Karl's
songs and fairly successful debut as Nor
qucrite by Mile. Martinez, beyond this, nothing.
No opera has been produced with anything like
an ensemble. And yet, SO eager have the people
been to hear music TINT Mr.. Strakosch will prob
ably leave the city with money In his pocket.
Let US hope that the next time Mr. strakosch
shall come here he will give his audiences some
thing like the real value Of their money. 1t is
rumorcd that he is going to Europe to organize
troupes for English and 1talian opera next sea-
son, and that he will retain some of the present
organization. 1t is to be hoped he will keep as
few OF them as possible. The next event Of
general interest will be
THE KELLOGG SEASON,
which will commence on Monday evening, Nov.
20. Last week the troupe was In Cleveland, and
did good business with Faust" Martha, :"
4Thc Bohemian Girl" and Mignon." A dis
appointment, however, was occasioned by the
withdrawal of " The Flying Dutchman," which
To he hoped this disappointment is not oninous
as regards the Chicago season. This week the
troupe will be in Detroit, and do Lucia, -
tMignon, :" "Faust, rand 'sThe Bohemian Girl ;"
During the present week there Will be several
HOME CONCERTS,
occurring in the following order: On Wednes-
day evening, the 18th, a testimonial concert will

a very pleasant programme On Thursday
evening, the 10th, ali
ORGAN CONCERT

First n. E. Church, corner Of Clark and Wash
ington streets, upon which occasion he will play

and Miss Marie Mueller, pupils of Miss Flora
Mueller. Mr. Mueller has been absent i've
years from the city, studying the piano and or
gau at Stuttgart with Profs. Faisst and Purck-
ncr, fact which will occasion considerable In
terest among musicians and musical people to
hear him. On Friday eVcninEa

MI. ThtNxch

contralto Of tho choir and young musical
student who is making such oommendable
progress as to warrant the hope that she will

circles. As this concert is given her IN the ma

will be ycry substantial one The programme
