THE PoRTEoUs CoNCERT-The concert las
evening at the Opera House drew anything
but large audience, but from a musica
standpoint it was "a delightful success. The
appearance of Mrs. Porteous was the sigma
for round of fashionable applause Her
first piece g L Estase, did not create par
ticularly favorable impression at the opening,
as the lady evidently suffering from bad
cold. She closed, however, with burst of
delicious singing which brought down the
house with a rousing encore. Mr. G. p
Mason's solo, " Good Night My Sweet" was
finely sung The piano and violin Duet by
Mrs. Lieutenant Governor Adams and Mr.
c. E. Laughton, was very well received
Miss SheldOn's solo " What VIII You Do
Love" was admirably rendered. One Of the
best things of the concert was the
piano and organ Duet from William
Tell, by Professors Pasmore and Dellepiane
Miss Nellie Parkinson received a tremendous
encore for her ''Nalse' song The Duet be-
tween Mrs. Smith and Prof. Pasmore was
passably good. "When Sparrows Build,
by Mrs. Smith, drew from the audience a
warm encore. The ladys voice, besides pos
sessing wide compass, is particularly rich
and mellow in the lower registers and sweet
in the upper Her Lilly of Poverty Flat B"
was very entertaining, and the words were an
immense relief to the poverty and fatness of
the melody. Mrs. Porteous gave an exquisite
rendition of the 4" Last Rose of Summer,
and Messrs Scoville, Mason LaughtOn and
Chesley closed the entertainment with comic
crow song, which could only be appreciated
by those who were present.
LAKE TAHOE was fearfully rough on Sun |
day last, rough, indeed, was it, that the |
steamers could not cross On one of the steam
ers they had brass band, playing THE
Sweet Bye and Bye, but before the vessel
vas out great distance from the shore the
players changed to a tune commonly known
n the ocean as " New York There were a
ew pleasure seekers at the lake from here,
Who say that the waves ran higher in that
Oody of water than theyever saw them before.
