The CogswsII Concert.

The farewell concert rendered TO
Mr.. and Mrs. w. q. Cegswell last
night at Turnverein Hall attracted
large and fashionable audience.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cogswell are musi-
clans of very superior order, and
it would be difficult to exaggerate
the benefit they have been to the
people of Los Angeles in elevating
and methodizing the taste of the
largo numbers of young people
they have instructed in vocal and
instrumental music. They leave
Los Angeles with the hearty good
will of everybody, as was shown
last night by the cordiality of their
reception.

Mr.. Lindbers's piano playing
was finished and equisite. He is
winning wide recognition as a
thorough artist. The first appear
ance of both Mr.. and Mrs. Cogswell
was greeted by a storm of applause,
aud they We're both obliged to re-
spond to emphatic encores Mr..
Cogswell sang "Non veln in
capital voice and with spirit and
appreciation only born of natural
gifts aud elaborate cultivation.
The famous cavatina, "Casta
Diva.n from Bellini's Norma. WAS
rendered by Mrs. Cogswell con-
summately well, and extorted a
shower of bouquets aud an encore.
Miss White rendered Millard's
"Waiting" with delicious grace
and thoroughness. This vocal ef-
fort was heightened by a
fine violin obligato played
by Mr.. Wangeman, Mrs.
Cogswell presiding at the piano.
In response to an imperious re-
call, Miss White sang little gem
whose title we failed to catch but
which gave fine scope to her vo-
cal powers. Part first was con.
cludsd with Addison's laughing
trio, in which Madame Maria and
Mr.. and Mrs. Cogswsll scored a de.
lightful histrionic as well as mu-
steal success.
In the second part, all of which
was rendered faultlessly, Miss
Mamie Perry sang difficult selec-
tion from Roberto il Diavolo in a
manner that astonished as we'll as
those who have not had
the pleasure Of hearing her since
she last sang at Turnverein Hall,
about a year ago. Miss Perry's
voice is fine soprano of great
power and brilliancy, and shows
carefnl cultivation. She was
greeted by a shower CT
bouquets, and, in response
to an enthusiastic encore,
sang an English ballad with
great sweetness. Mr.. Hasse..
man, in his rendering of the Re-
nance from Mignon, added to the
laurels already won by him and
was vociferously applauded. AS
in the first part, Mr.. Ludovici was
replaced by Mrs. Cogswell, who
played a brilliant solo on th e'riano.
Altogether the concert was one of
the most delightful ever given in
Los Angeles and will cause the
beneficiaries to be pleasantly re-
