OF musical matin6es given by Mr. Albert d. Hubbard.
a young gentleman who plays upon the piano and 10
evidently anxious to be considered OF the hrst
class artists OF the day. Ho assisted by Miss S.
Foster, consralto; signor v. Talberti, tenor, and
Messfa Henry Sawyer, A. Hman and Charles Har-
mon, piansts. The music selected for Interpretation
At those hands was from Beethoven, BolltuL List,
Gounod, Msyerbeer, Chopin and Wagner, but II can
not be consc,en,iously written that the performance
generally was superior that which may be heard in
scores Of our metropolitan circles any night in the
year. A. pianist, Mr.. Hubbard must work long and
patiently before he attains the object OF his ambition
unless indeed Be is satisfied with hard. colorless
unsympathetc style, such as he exhibited In most OF
his playing yesterday. signor Tabsrt and Miss Fos-
tor sang pleasngiy, but without particular force or
sentiment, and the performance generally afforded
little theme Tor extended or complimentary comment
