THE CARY CoNCERT.-The musical event of
the season in this vicinity, is conceded to be
the grand complimentary concert rendered to
Miss Gary September %. The arrangements
for this concert are now nler way. Miss Cary
is to introduce novelty in the advertising
line this season, and she has concluded to give
her Portland friends the first sight of it. She
has procured two thousand miniature fans
beautifully engraved in various styles and
designs. On the back of these cards will be
the name of the singers and the date of the
concert. The whole thing is gotten up with
exquisite taste at large expense. The pro-
grammes she has also procured are some new
designs. Nearly every one will have a
different engraving upon the back. They will
be printed in colors, and will far exceed any
thing of the kind ever seen in this vicinity.
Miss Gary is to be assisted at her benefit by
Miss Marie Stone, soprano; Tom Karl, tenor;
Mr.. William Mcdonald, basso. A chorus of
sixteen of our best singers will be drilled for
the occasion by Mr.. bennett. Two grand
pianos with Mr.. Kotzchmar and Miss O'Brion
as pianists have been secured for the occasion.
Mr.. Behren will officiate as conductor.
The programme will consist of one act from
the opera of "Martha" and one act from the
opera of "Trovatore." The remainder of the
programme will be made up from popular
numbers.
The Grand Army stage and scenery will be
employed. The tickets will be placed at 81 for
all parts of the house. The sale will open at
Stockbridge's next Tuesday morning at 9
O'Clock.
