A FINE ENTEKTAINMENT-AI' CRITICAL
AUDIENCE-THE PROGRAMME.
The elite of our musical public assembled
at the Opera House, last evening, to listen
to the performance of the Millard Club of
this city. Although not surprisingly large
in numbers, the::attendance must certainly
have been fattering to the club, for the very
cream of Wilmington society was present.
The stage was tastefully aIIaDged,
and the auditori um comfortably warmed, 80
that there was no drawback upon the en-
ieyrnent OF the evening. The club opened
lie concert with a pleasing chorus by
Gousod, Bradley james, Esq pat the piano.
The execution was received with applause.
Mr.. James followed with an excellent
rendition on the piano Of "La Juive," u
transcription by Gmstav tSattsr. Mr.. James
did the seaectionSfun justics, and no higher
praise could bs bestowed. The double
auartette chorus to Mr.. George W. Stone,
solo, "Spanish Canzonnetta," BY ReieharI,
was well received as 1t deserved. The solo
was executed with q humming &C.
compartment by Mr.. Stone, which gave en-
tire satisfaction being well sustained andin
good time. The following gentlemen com
tjrised the quartette Messrs. Rhodes, Lob
dell, Cameron, sencox, Baird, james, Pick

Mr.. MiIlard followed with solo selection
from Tsrd "Rec and Romanza."' Mr..
EMillard has a fine mellow tenor
voice of considerable power ana
decided sweetness, ald his rendition
of the solos was received with hearty and
continued applause, which would have rem

he sang one of his ~wn admirable compost

Tn the chorus which followed, WOODS 10
Winter" which had been arranged by Mr..
James, from Beehoyen, the execution was
not faultless, although it was not decidedly
bad. We noticed slight tendency to sing
out of time by the base. " IA
