executed and received the raptur0us
applause of the audience which num-
bered, despite the bad weather Of the
forenoon, fully eight hundred.
LET ME DREAM AGAIN,
by Mile Fremeaux, a charming young
lady, a resident Of Baton Rouge in
her youthful days, was rendered with
the talent and force ola prima donna.
Nile Fremeaux took the audience by
storm and was enthusiastically ap-
plauded and encored till she grace
fully yielded and again delightedhe her
hearers with the sweet notes of her
admirable voice.
The Pasquinnde Of Gottschalk, by
Nine. Joubert was executed on ne
peat miear by that truly captivating
and beautiful lady, whose fingers ran
over the keys with an ease, grace,
and elegance that charmed every one
in the vast audience. She was ap-
plauded again and again but could
not yield to the persistent demand,
owing to the fact that time was rap
idly waning. She scored A. l. in
every respect.
The Alleluia dAmow, by the
lovely Nine. D'Aquin, was brilliant
ly rendered. Nine. D'Aquin vocali-
zes admirably and her sympathetic
voice goes deep in the hearts Of her
listeners. One feels that he conld
never tire listening at her sweet
voice. She was vigorously applaud
ed and encored.
The Fantaisie brillante, by the great
futist, Mr.. D'Aquin, was excellent.
That gentleman more than sustain
ed his justly earned high reputation.
He showed himself an artist of the
highest order of talent, and was en-
cored by the audience, who seemed
to appreciate more and more the
great treat that was being given
them.
The Fantasia of the Muette de Por-
tici, by Mr.. Joubert, was simply
grand, and the wonderfully gifted
artist who seemed both inspired and
enthused, rendered the Morceau in
such manner as to rivet the atten-
tion of every one to the accents Of
his instrument.
We unhesltatingly assert that Ba-
ton Rougeans have never, since the
war, heard in their city, SO brilliant 9
concert. They will be happy indeed,
at some future time, to welcome these
same artists, and give them benefit
in appreciation, not only Of their tai.
ent, but Of their patriotism in coming
here, without remuneration, to aid ir
the noble undertaking of erecting {
tomb and monument to the dead he
roes of the Army of Tennessee.
INCIDENTS.
The excursionists numbered some
seven or eight hundred, and would
have numbered more had it not beer
for the bad weather that began il
New Orleans last week and kept W
till to-day. 1t seemed though, as il
the clerk of the weather felt like ex
tending every facility in his power
for he arranged his programme SO az
to allow the excursionists to land
visit the city, listen to the out-doo
: concert and depart with a clear sk,
overhead, using theintervals only 70
: shower time.
The excursionists departed at 6:3
P. NJ, amid the booming OF the artil
, lery, the inspiriting strains of th'
r band, who escorted them over to tn
trains with large delegation of tn
people, who waved their handker
, chiefs in response to theirs until tn
, train had disappeared in the distance
The mass of the people from tn
!, surrounding country were kept ava.
: by the heavy rains, though larg'
throng filled our streets. Fine weathe
would have brought here fully 500
, people. All we have to say in con
clusion, is that the citizens of Bator
| Rouge, with one voice, say to thei
f friends of the Army of Tennessee ant
of the Crescent City, "CoME AGAIN.
