The first part was rendered
throughout with grand effect. Mrs.
Mayo. soloist, in the chorus
Damascus Triumphal March; Mrs.
Tanning and tho Messrs. Locke
and Carter in the Prayer from
Moses in Egypt; Mrs. Abernathy,
Miss Lockhart and Messrs. Day and
Book in Beethoven's Guartette and
Hummlng Chorus, were particu-
larly effective. The Hummlng
Chorus and Prayer from Moses in
Egypt were good naturedly repeat
ed in response to an enthusiastic
encore.
1n part ! the anvil chorus was
substituted for No. s, the fire boys
doing their part with greater eff
feet than at the previous perform. I.
ance, for the reason, doubtless, that
practice makes perfect. An encore
was demanded but on account of
time being required to reload the
guns it was not acceded to.
Part II epened with the anvil
chorus, which was again rendered
with telling effect, the amateur
blacksmiths and gunners doing
their parts with artistic precision.
This was followed by q flute solo
by Professor Capterno, whose rem
dition of the difficult air selected,
evoked a perfect storm of applause.
At its close shower Of bouquets
fell ut the feet of the accomplished
musician who gracefully acceded
to the demand for repetition.
AT the conclusion Of tho solo pi.
rector Day announced that, In re.
sponse to an almost unanimous
request, little Mi-.s ssormano would
play the Carnival of Venice, which
the little lady, accompanied by her
mother OH the piano, rendered with
rare skill and good taste. When
she finished she was greeted with
tumultuous applause and u shower
of bouquets. In response to an en-
core mother and daughter ex-
changed instruments, Madame
Sormano executing a very difficult
piece on the violin, the child ac-
companying her on the piano. An
encore was called for, but having
broken one of the strings of her
violin, Madame Sormano was una
BILE to comply.
No. 4, q solo by Madame Marra,.
was omitted on account of the una
voidable absence of that lady.
The Two Sisters Concert Polka,
written by Professor Conterno, by
the military band was next given,
and was received with marked ap-
probation.
The solo and chorus-Daughter
OF Errof-was exqulsite'y rendered
by Mrs. J. D. Knell anu received
with vociferous applause.
The violin duet, by Messrs. Lu-
dovci and III. Wangeman, accom-
panied by Miss Fairman on the pi-
ano, was rendered with that nice
appreciation of their subject which
has characterized all the efforts of
these srtistic amateur, and elicit
ed frequent and hearty bursts of
applause.
The concluding piece, Handeps
Hallelujah Chorus, was O fitting
ending to the most brilliant aud
successful musical festival that has
ever taken place in Southern Cali
fornia.
