ADJUSTMENTS.


The De Murslxa Musical Festival.
Sunday nights concert was not so well at
| tended as it would have been had the weather
| not been so promising-of thunder storm.
| But the members of the troupe, like the true
artists they are, rendered the programme in
| its entirety, responded to encores in the most
| willing manner, and could not have exerted
themselves more to please ten times the num-
Der of people. The programme was opened
with an orchestral selection from Balfe's ever
| fresh opera of The Bohemian Girl, in which
the duet between airline and ''Thaddeus,"
which occurs In the second act is very effect
lively arranged for flute and clarlonet. The
other pieces were from Gounod's Faust and
Offenbach's PerichOle. The able musicians,
under the direction of Mr.. Hill, interpreted
all of them skillfully and with excellent effect
Mr.. Maxim was evidently suffering from in
disposition, and did not sing as well as here
tofore. He was encored, however, in the
song of The Warrior Bold. Signor Susini
had quite recovered from his hoarseness OF
the night before, and was in magnificent
voice, reminding US of old times. Signor
Brignoli disappointed US In net singing the
SalUe DimOra from Faust. His substituted
piece from Lombardi was, however, excellent
Mile. lima De Murska, substituted
Mattei's chef d'oeuUre, Non Yer
for Schubert's Se,enGde, for the reason that
no violincello could be had for the obigato;
so we were informed. Her second number
was the Vensano Waltz, which was written
for and was made famous by the late Madame
CASTER. This piece served to show Mile de
Murska's faultless execution and artistic re-
hnement In the highest degree. In answer
to an encore, she sang, by request, Street
Bye and Bye. In response to her first recall,
she sang Dreampt DloelH in Marble
Halls, her articulation being as perfect as
could be, and the music elegantly rendered.
Mr.. John Hill once more appeared as solo
pianist, and played Thalbergs transcription
of the prayer" from Nose in Egit0 in
most skillful and mastery manner, his per-
Torrance receiving a spirited encore. He re-
peated Ascher's characteristic and quaint
DanSe de Negre in such splendid style that
he received quite an ovation, and, at the
same time, an honor seldom accorded but to
the greatest Uirtaosi, namely a second encore,
to which he responded with Thalbergs
Home, Street Home. AS an accompanist,
pianist and conductor, we tender Mr.. Hill
our sincere compliments. Next Wednesday
evening the opera of Don Pasquale will be
repeated for the farewell appearance of the
troupe. The unfavorable state of the
weather on the occasion of its last performance
prevented many, who were anxious, from
hearing it, and the delighted expressions of
opinion from those who were fortunate enough
to be present have aroused the desires of our
musical amateurs and the public to such an
extent that the attendance, we expect, will
tax the capacity of the pavilion to its utmost
From our musical friends we learn, with great
pleasure, that the visit of this clever company
of artists has been taken advantage of to note
and carefully observe the manner and STYLE |
of Interpretation given to the various NOR
ceGnr; consequently, we anticipate marked |
improvement, and considerable artistic styIe, |
upon the occasion of the next appearance of |
our aspiring amateurs. The box plan is now |
open at Peters s hat store.
