| MENpELssoHN QUINTET CoNcERT.-Ths
Mendelssohn Quintet Club of Boston gave
sacred concert here last evening. The Con
eregational Church was again filed, the au
dience, as before, being not only notably
large, but brilliant and appreciative. 1t tes'
tilted strongly, as well to the excellence Of
tie PLAYERS as to the critical judgment and
| cultivated tastes of the people. The pro-
gramme was quite lengthy, but throughout
the overture to ''Le Domino Noir, by Au-
Der: Beethoven's quartet in G, op. Is, alle-
GRO. moderate and andante the "Swedish
Wedding March," by Saedefman Pleyefs
HYMN with original variations; and Boo
chivini's "Minuet," by especial and general
REQUEST. There was given also by Miss Marie
Nellini. who sang in better voice than
when here before, and made a dec1-
dedly good impression, scene and air
from sLa Traviata," and for and en-
core sang "Darby and JOAN" by Molloy.
She sang also "Theme ct Variations" by
Rode. and in response to an encore sang
ssThe Kerry Dance Song" by Molloy
Schmitzler gave for a violin solo lie Tam
bour,n by LIE Clair, and in response to re-
call played "Gavotte," by Bach. Ryan. on
the clarionette, played his own Second
Fantastic" and for an encore Evening
Song" by Hamm Giese. on the violoncello,
played Harlequin" by Pepper. and for an
encore the andante movement from Servais'
Fantastic. Schade, on the flute, played
Briccialdis Grand Fantastic" and declined
an encore, as one of the keys of his instru-
ment refused to respond properly. The con-
cert deepened the impression made by the
first appearance of the troupe, and justified
LOFT in
at that time in these columns and
the criticism pronounced. But it also
added warmth to the Judgment formed of
Miss Marie Neliini's vocal abilities, as, on
this occasion, she permitted no measure al
lotted to her TO suffer by contrast with any
other of her vocal efforts. While all the
numbers of the programme were not equally
meritorious, the quality of the whole per-
Torrance was of high order, smooth, clear
cut, and not only satisfactory, but inspiring,
and lifted the auditors to the upper and bet
ter realms of the music art. where the minor
infelicities Of performance are lost in the
kesn enjoyment produced by the whole enter
tainment.
