| TIE MUSICAL COLLEGE CONCERT.
The most attractive, and almost the only really
musical, entertainment OF tic past week was the
complimentary concert rendered to the Misses Al
Ice Lansdcn and Mary Wishard, under tho auspices
OF the Chicago Musical College. of which institu.
tlon both the young ladies arc fayorite pupils
Ihe concert was given at the First Methodist
Church on Thursday evening, and the church was
crowded, so that tho compliment must have
been quite substantial one to the bene.
nc'ar1es The one young lady {AIiss Wishard)
came prominently before the public rs q pianist,
and the other as vocalist at tho annua concert OF
Inc College, and each not only pleased hut sur
pr'sed concert-goers with the high plane Of excel
fence they had reached What we said OF them
then will apply with equal Justice now. As I'm
amateur, Miss Wishard stands very high. 1t only
| needeu her dashing performance of the Kullak
OCTAVE Study" to chow that. Her performance
OF the familtnr sharp sonata Of Beethoven and
OF the second Liszt Rhapsodie was also surpris-
1n2ly good Tor an amateur, although we hardly think
they were 5udlciously chosen for public concert,
| coming 30 soon after Essipon In the one and Ryc
In the other. The inference should not be drawn
that they were badly played ESQ far from that she
| displayed a good technique and decided musical
intelligence In the intcrpretation) but the recent
| performances Of these two numbers by the two
artists we have mentioned bring amatcnrish defects
IN style into stronger light by the inevitable
trast. Miss Lansden+ who has thoroughly sweet and
musical quality Of voice, sang rcry charmnsly the
