will give the two concerts arranged for b
Mr. Carpenter next week, on Friday evenin
and Saturday matinee, in the Central Music
Hall, and the occasion will be one of genuill
pleasure to the entire musical public. 1t wa
evident that the last appearances Of Nils
Thursby in this city served to more strongl
confirm the previous high estimation in whic
she was held by our col1cert-goers, and larg'
ly increased the circle Of her admirers, all
the enthusiasm with which she was the
greeted is evidence Of her increasing pop1
larity. Her appearance here was so rcce1
that it is unnecessary for us to repeat IL
opinion then expressed, that her voice In
broadened and her style had matured durin
her absence in Europe, until now she had l,
rival in the American concertroom. It wi
be Of more present interest for the public
know that thenoveltyof the coming concer,
will be the first performances in the West of NJ
