The May Festival held in New York, last week, was evidently great success financially as we'll as musicalIy. Immense and enthusi astic audiences were in attendance throughout, and on Friday. evening" Messiah" night there are said to have been not less than 13,. 900 people present iu the Armory. Of the merit of the performance different opinions are given, through the cnrrent of criticism is favorable. We judge that the older, slower, more massive musical style, like that of Han del, is better adapted to tbe enormous weight of such chorus and orchestra than the lighter, swifter, more varied music of modern com posers. The tendency of large choruses to become unwieldly cannot but have stood in the way of the perfect performance of some of the more difficult music sung. Still the great care taken in preparation is said to have done much towards removing this unavoidable difficulty.
