last, but by no means least, Professor or
Sfarke, OF the Fourth Street Hozri les.
Professor Reinhardt feels. how that
he has received more than his Just share OF
the praise for the success OF the Ass0cia-
ti0n, and begs that to the artists whom ne
has had the pleasure to command you Will
give the glory. - Z! .::SS ~ ~
But for the ladies, who have from time to
time so kindly and so efficiently assisted
him both Yocally and upon the piano, he be-
ieves the Association would, not have lasted
through one of those extremely thrilling,
somewhat lengthy, and preeminently scien-.
tifc trios, performed by Professors Thllow,
Kessnich, and himself; and he believed,
also, that but for the presence OF these la-
dies the Association, instead OF closing
doors to keep the audiences out during per-
formances, would have been compelled to
pass stay-law to keep them In.
The Professor desires also to make bis
acknowledgements to the orchestra-the
fiddlers, blowers, and men with brass.
These have developed an ability in their
several spheres highly gratifying to him.
To the male Vocalists too much praise
cannot be given, provided it be equally dis
tributed between the men themselves, their
spike-tail coats, and waxed moustaches.
To the local reporters Of the newspapers,
who have so kindly announced each sue
cessive musicale as the best until they have
reached the sixty-first degree OF COMPARE
son, the Association is largely debted.
! And, lastly, to. the small boys and small
girls, and large boys and large girls, who
have attended the muSicdleS through all
weather, and who have been so much inter-
ested in each other as not to know when
the programme commenced and when 1t
ended-to these he is thankful that they
have done no worse, and begs to make
them this suggestion While moonlight
is plentiful now, and flowers are cheap, and
sitting on the front-door steps and in the
parks is fashionable, that they will betake
themselves to these more suitable spots,
and there finish the anecdote they have
been whispering to each other on the
back seats OF this room for the past
winter and spring: and when the fall
comes on, and they have somewhat recoy-
cred from the attack, and moonlight and
flowers and love are scarce, then they will
return. to the Association, and he promises
to furnish them with the best music he can
command.
These telling remarks were received with
great applause, and the gentleman IS to be
complimented for their happy selection.
The musical part OF the programme was
throughout. The two Sc
lections-quartette and chorus from La Som
nambula, and quintette. and chorus from
Martha-were admirably rendered. In the
former the quartette was Mrs. Bur-
well, Mrs. White, Mr.. Dimmock, and
Mr. Grant; and the quintette Mrs. Rein
bardt, Miss BEDFORD, Mr.. Watkins, Mr..
Grant, and Mr.. Blair. The chorus in both
was Miss Swain, Mrs. Brown, Miss Redford,
Miss Hall, Miss Fox, MIR. BEDFORD, Mr..
Cunningham, Mr.. Simmons, and Mr.. Car
doza. They sang with full orchestral ac-
commandment, and gave the audience a
treat which is seldom. enjoyed. =
Mrs. Burwell sang beautiful echo song,
IN which she was ably assisted with flute
obligato by Professor Charles Siegel. The
"Cayitina, "'from Trovatore. was beauti'
fully rendered By Mis-. Reinhardt; at the
conclusion of which she received a lovely
basket of flowers. 5ys.
Miss Swain, in her artistic and bird-like
execution Of the "Carnlyal Of Venice"
completely took the audience by storm,
They insisted upon an encore, but the rule
OF the Association was strictly adhered to.
The orchestra were in fine humor, and
gave three selections most acceptably. For
their rendition of the overture to civilian
Tel'' we must particularly commend them
The yioloncello introduction by Professor
ThiIow was beautiful, and seemed to in.
spire the whole orchestra.
The entertainment was success, and the
scant accommodation demonstrated the iacl
that larger hall is needed.
POLICE COURT, YEsTERDAY-Poice-J jus
tice j. u. White ednesday
Justice Johnson (eolored) arrested (withoui
warranty Albert Cleveland for selling good;
by sample without license. Cleveland wa:
taken to the Second station, and Justice
IsbeIl was sent for; and it appearing to the
latter that the prisoner was held without
good cause he discharged him, but against
the protest of Justice johnson. Yesterday
johnson had Mr.. Isbell before the Police
Court for unlawfully discharging Cleve.
land. The case was partially heard and
continued until Tuesday.
1t is we'll that this case has come up. II
ought to be carried urther--to Judge Gui.
gon, or Judge Wexford, wherever appeal
lies-in order that the duties OF magis.
trates may be fully and clearly defined tand
OF opinion. Section 106 OF the City Charter
says: - ss.sSi
t.The Jurisdiction OF the court shall ex-
tend to all cases within the jurisdictional
limits Of the city Of which justice OF the
peace may take cOgnizance, under the laws
OF the State, and to all cases arising under
the charter or ordinances Of the CITY," &c.
= Section 107 says: "The justices OF the
peace shall be cOnseryators Of the peace
within the limits of the corporation OF Rich
mond, and shall have the same powers and
duties within said limits as are provided by
law in respect 10 justices Of the peace in the
counties, except that nothing herein con-
tanned sbal! be construed as vesting In said
justices any portion OF the jurisdiction
given by this act to the Police Justice.o
Whether Justice Isbell exceeded his
powers or not, technically, it is pretty gen.
eralIv believed that Cleveland ought to have
been discharged promptly. Mr.. Isbell is
one OF the bess-posted and most painstak'ng
magistrates in the city. II the law lS not
positively clear il is not his fault. and The
sooner it is made thoroughly Ineligible to
all concerned the better.

with assaulting and beating j. wv. Hagner.
and j. w. and Charles Hagner (the Latter
boy ten years old), charged with assaulting

discharge Of all the parties. s
