making the total amount received up TO and III

Guarantors will not be called upon tOr more
than 10 per cent, and probably not more than
per cent. OF their subscriptions.
This is considered great success, as the average
will not be more than at the Sangertest OF lsio,
which came ont $4,000 behiud, and gave the most
perfect satisfaction to all concerned ana was
looked upon by the outside world as marVei OF
ucCeSSful management. But TINS one mas
achieved much more than dollars and cents. II
has developed the standard OF "Bund'' music ana
taught all connected with the SGngerlest that me
production OF the finest works is the hrst colsid-
Grafton, and social enjoyment takes its place aiter-
wards.
Every concert has been a great success mu>ically
cons ldered. The solnSts are among the very uneSl
singers in the world. the orchestra is almost as
complete an Organic Ition as Wagner himself could
desire, and the chorus has shown itself fully aole
to support orchestra and soloists in rendering the
most complete compositions.
LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.
The programme offered last nightw all things
considered perhaps the mos mVltlnS OF ihe
STugeTfest 1t was a programme not for the
masses, but for the educated and cultivated musl-
can. That such an one should bring out. the
largest audience OF The Fest speaks volumes ior
the advance our public have made in their
musical taste.
For the first part we had schumann's '1uck Of
Eden Hall, IA composition whose demands are very
great, but which were fully met except in the
case of Mt. BiscnoG, VINO was too-well, drunk to
either sing his numbers or keep awake from one
to another 1t was disgraceful sight to hear his
maudlin attempts to sing, and TO see one OF the
| orchestra punching him in the ribs to get him "a
wake upand make the attempt The ether parts
were, however elegantly rendered, and the cho'
| rus did itself the greatest honors-
Rubeustein's "Becamed ut Sea" cOmposed the
| first ART fNA am ma
| rendering of a mastery composition. However
| the inviting part of the programme, and that per
| haps VIII lch really brought out the immense audi
| enCe was the "ReQuiem Mass of Verdi This
magIiticc1t work has been presented but few
times IN this country, and is one oil the very nhes
| efforts of the great composer
| The solemnity of sacred music is relieved by
| touches almost operate, making production ol
| life, beauty, harmony and impressive grandeur
| that has few equals in the range OF this class ol
musical literature. Ma lam Alysleben excelled
herself in the soprano-solo, and Miss Cranch did
| by far the finest singing a Cincinnati audience
has ever h ard from her. Messrs. Whitney and
FIitsch sung their parts in mastery mann r.

offered. If this too strong consider it modified
