THE GREAT MAY FESTIVAL.

The grand May festival, to be given at the
Mechanics Institute, San Francisco, on the
18th, goth and Both of next month, promises
to be the grandest musical event since the
Boston Jubilee. Nothing like it has ever
been heard on this coast IOne of the big fea-
lures of the festival will be the rendering of
the chorus of two Thousand voices. The in
strumental department will be as complete as
it can possibly be made. OF a portion of the
leading vocalists who are to take part in the
approaching festival, the New York Music
Trade Review of recent date says: Mrs.
Helen Ames Billings was in excellent voice;
her selections were well suited to display the
compass of her voice, good schooling and
taste. The very first notes of the aria, 81
will Extol Thee, rang out with such brill
fancy which captivated her listeners to such
an extent that an encore became unavoidable.
In the bravura aria, "Belraggio, from Sem
irimide," Mrs. Billings gave the most salts
factory evidence of her voice training-every
note was clear and distinct in the difficult
roulades. The quartet singing of Mrs. Bill
ings, Miss Clark and Messrs. Fessenden and
Whitney cannot be too highly praised. A
clear pronunciation, combined with a deli
cate shading of forte and piano, made the en-
semble perfect, while the intonation was
faultless throughout. "God is Spirit"
from Sterndalo Benefits oratorio, THE
Woman of Samarie, created deep impress
sion. It was an excellent specimen of effect
i've part singing. Mr.. Whitney's magnificent
bass voice excited a burst of genuine en-
at the close of his singing of the
Honor and Arms aria from Handel's
Sampson The wonderful power and
range, as well as artistic finish and fire of that
voice, make Mr.. Whitney the most eminent
of all American bassos.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

clock. Professor Jessup performed bril-
liant voluntary on the piano, and the Insti
tute was entertained by grammar class, taught
by Mrs Jessup of Virginia, who instructed
the scholars, (the classes are selected from
the Carson schooD in analysis, going through
the different portions of the subject in thor
ough and as complete a manner as the time
permitted, including the arrangement of
words and classification of sentences.
class in geography was next taught by Mrs.
Swift of Virginia. who confined her instruc
tons to the map of the United States. She
took up the topic of waters i'll rivers and lakes,
and went into the subject of their formation,
characteristics leading up to the climatic
effects of the same From this she proceeded
to series of questions on the contour of the
mountains and arrangement of water sheds,
thus developing the idea of the uses of waters
on the globe.
THE DISCUSSION
Was opened by Mr.. Howe, who at the call of
the President promptly responded. He con-
sidered the teaching of grammar of paramount
Importance, and commended the system ex
emplifed by Mrs. Jessup. Mr.. Van Wagenen
followed ON the subject of analysis by the |
diagram system, arguing its feasibility and |
Importance. Mr.. Bray believed that teacher |
to properly teach grammar, should be good |
grammarian theoretically and practically. He |

to the use of the word ''lelrn' by one OF the
speakers which was discussed for some time.

THE New York Nation declares that what
the investigation is doing is not fastening
guilt on any person not hitherto suspected,
or revealing any flaw in the Presidents
title. but it is letting the world know what
kind Of people they were who had charge
Of the State Government and worked tho
political machine from 1868 to last year.
To say that their manners and morals, and
the stories they tell Of each other, read like
a little chapter Of jail-yard gossip, n that
every one of them ought to be in the PEN
itentiary, is putting the case mildly. 1t is
no exaggeration to say that it was an awful
thing to nave left the government OF a civ
ilized community in such hands so long,
and lamentable and alarming that the
scamps should have been able to palm
themselves off so long on the good people
at the North as suffering friends OF the
black man.
