SECOND EDITION
Grand Concert.

TIL: CONCERT given last night at the
Grand Opera House, by the "Grace
Church Musical Union," was the most
delightful OF the season. 1t was rich
treat, and more worthy of crowded
house than any concert that has taken
place there for a long time. Miss Cynthia
Bare's singing endeared her to the
audience and her graceful yielding to
encores increased the delight. Each
artist was encored, but Miss Bare was
required to return to the stage three
times, which she did and each time gave
something new in rare and beautiful
tones, quite equal to Pareppa. Mr..
Close, on the piano, executed several
pieces very finely; and Mr.. Taylor's "Old
Sexton" was equal to the rendering of
any Basso. But the recitation of "Creeds
of the Bells, "by Miss Laura Rose, Elocu-
ZIONIST, was the rarest specimen of read
ing that has ever been given in that
temple of art and pleasure, and took the
audience almost by surprise. Miss Roses
gifts of grace and tongue should win her
"A fortune. She certainly was the ROSE of
the evening, where all were so meritori-
Gus as to deserve commendable mention.
