4hc first part Of the program offered moth
~. sn.c;aIly striking until the last number
.rss reached. The part-songs were very
r,efer]y done, and in the kuccken "Sere-
% .ads" the Arions achieved very delicate
,';sniss;,nn. @ and sang the j" Gay Pilgrim " so
t1,;rr;nrlt+ that an encore was asked for, to
,rSich The reply came IN a repetition Of the
,n1,,hpt f1r the entire chorus, which made it
s mor effective. Mr. Rcmmertz made
,cry little out Of the Two Grenadiers." His
tr4ntntjh was to come later. In the great
.anacht'' Of Schubert the two cholrs sang
sunerhy, and In the finale the body Of tone,
iuih in its quality and volume, has never
1xpn surpassed Ill this city. Upon
thp occasion Of the performance Of
uFtithjofn last year, we gave a very
close ANALYSIS Of the story and its music, so
that We needn't 60 over that ground again.
1ts nprformance on this occasion made a
.lpelMr impression, partly because Of the
greater volume OF tone and partly because 1t
Vas dane with more care, and certainly with
more freshness and vigor. Both chOlrS
showed the results OF Mr.. T0mlins' careful
training and hard work, and sang with conf
1nendable pronptness in attack, frlnness i'll
tone, and felicity i'll expression. LIZ the Fire
chorus, which would test the capabilities. Of
any male chorus, these qualities were special
y manifest and i'll the quartet accompanying
he beautiful and impressive Farewell to
the Norti1' SOTO for baritone, it would be
1Ingratefui 10 expect much better work.
Iii. Ksmmertz was not in the best voice,
b1t he sang this solo superbiy, aud
with such electric effect that the house
fairly ross to the singer and demanded an en-
cGre. Mrs. Elliot made her first appearance

praise, and the audience, which was the |
