Saratoga Correspondence New York Herald. !
Saratoga has been on tiptoe of expectation
for week. This is a rare thing for Saratoga;
SO rapidly do events follow each other in the
flying hours of the bright summer days, that
life here almost fulflls Emerson's WISH that
each moment should be SO filled thas there
should be no time for regretting the past nor
anticipating the future. The announced APP
pcarance of the great lyric artistic who has
called forth the applause and won the hearts of
the American people was nevertheless marked
| In the minds of all, as of those bright days
IN the future to which we all SO love to look
forward, and whose radience gives light by
which to walk even through darkness that may
lie between. The appointed time at last ar
stormy in the early part of the evening, the
people locked into the great ball room of the
United States until it was fairly packed in
every part. The storm delayed the opening of
the concert somewhat, and it was not until
o clock that Stubs superb orchestra struck up
the grand overture to 'Der Freischutz'' and
the hum of conversation faded away into the
hush of expectation as the sweet strains filled
the hall. The vast audience was evidently in
good humor from the first. The excitement of
the storm, whose last echoes were Just dying
away, had aroused everyone from the listless
generally
to first overcome. This alertness of the listen
ers added to their vigorous expressions of de-
light, inspired the performers to put forth
their best efforts, and the result was one of the
most delightful entertainments ever given
anywhere.
What shall We say of Marie Roze: What
words can convey any idea of those sweet, pure,
rich, delicious tones which seemed to yush forth
from an inexhaustible fountain of melody?
What glorious visions filled the mind as the
great column OF music, forced higher and higher,
at last broke into spray, and the air seemed full
OF diamonds and pearls and opals and sapphires
al lighted up by the singers lustrous beauty.
Or 1t was like the waves of the ocean, driven on
the beach by some unseen but irresistible force,
Whlch hrst inspire awe by their power. and then
delight by their brilliancc, as the white crests
are broken into glittering jewels on the sand.
There is no tone in Marie Roze's voice that is
not round and full and sweet, and filled with
delicious music She is always wonderful; the
ire with which she delivered the thrilling
Robert tot que jaime showed the possession
OF genius with hardly greater clearness than her
exquisite phrasing in the little ballad when
I've nothing else to do given in response to a
double encore. She is certainly one of the royal
lyric queens Of all time and her rare personal
beauty seems to be but the index, the outward
sign as it were, of soul within, which is in
perfect harmony with all that is lovely and pure
and true. She has fairly captured Saratoga
and we trust she will occupy the throne she has
won here, through many, many seasons yet to
come.
Mr.. Carleton created very favorable impress
sion, and was heartily encored each time he ap-
peared. His voice is rich and pure end his
presence and method are very pleasing. He
deserves to be a favorite as he is. Mr.. Hatch
is also a fine singer. His voice is a graceful
tenor of good compass, and his execution is
unusually excellent. Senior Nunez gave much
pleasure by his performances on the piano.
Liszt's famous Hungarian Rhapsody being in
terpreted with especial vigor and skill. Colby,
the king of accompanies, maintained his we'll
earned fame, and that has never been surpass-
ed by any of his contemporaries. Marie Roze
was accompanied by Stubs orchestra, and we
cannot give it higher praise than to say it's per
Torrance was worthy of such voice, and the
tones were blended in one grand flood of
melody, with not one discord, not one harsh
nor shrill note, but all so soft and rich that it
seemed as though the spirit were for the time
lifted into purer ether.
1t was In every respect grand and most de-
hghtfnl performance, and though Saratoga will
have many such in the future as in the past,
seasons will come and seasons will 90, and still
the concert of Saturday night will be remem-
bered as one of pure and unsurpassed delight,
while as for the sweet and beautiful singer to
whom we are indebted for the feast, we know
all the multitude will join US in endorsing the
prophetic sentiment of Shakespeare as spoken
by the fair Ophelia:
There's Rose-Mary, that's for remembrance"
