| MIDSUMMER NIGHT FEsTIvAL.-The Phil
harmonic Soeiety's experiment took place
at East Park last night and all the misgiv-
ings and doubt with which it was entered
upon were happily not realized, for the OPEN
air concert was a success, and proved that
another may be undertaken with every as.
surance of public support There was a
larger attendance than even the most SAN
guine anticipated, and had the night not
been so coel, it is safe Co say it would have
| been doubly as large. The grove was deco
rated with colored lanterns, and the approach
lighted by strong locomotive headlight
| There was lack of light, however, upon the
| platform, although an oxy-hydrogen burner
was brought to bear. It was, however, placed
too low, and at the wrong cad of the plat
| form. Elevated seats surrounded the plat
form, and were nearly all occupied, while large
numbe were content to stand. The society
appeared in goodly numbers. Prot. Fleiss-
ner acted as director and Miss Amelia Bohl
presided at the organ. The programme en-
| braced these choruses: "The Carnovale +"
(Rossini); Tell Me, Roses" (Baruby);
''Stars of the Summer Night" (Smart);
Farewell to the Forest" (Mendelssohn);
"The Water Lily" (Gadel, and "Good
Night, Beloved" (Pinsute), while male
chorus sang 1.-THE Soldiers Farewell" Thy
Kinkel) The singing produced far better
effect that was expected, and the auditors
were warm in applause, testifying to the
| pleasure the choruses in open air gave them.
At half-past 8 dancing began, with r. FL.
Auerbach as floor manager and Charles Beau

due to the fact that no tickets were
sold at the gates, and admission
cards were only obtainable from the ladies
and gentlemen of the society, who were held
responsible for their proper disposal. Re-
freshment and lunch stands were provided in
the grove, and number of omnibuses and
carriages running regularly to the grounds,
with the facilities afforded by the street rail.

the singers occupy a position considerably
elevated above the audience, and if possible
provide orchestral support, and arrange the
lime lights behind instead Of ia front of the
singers.
VIENNA ORCHESTRA. The Vienna Ladies'
Orchestra, which appeared here some years
ago when it came from Europe, gave con-
cert at the Congregational Church last even
ing. The concert was very enjoyable one.
The troupe is composed of skilled musicians
of long practice, and consists of six ladies
and fonr men, with Miss Bertha Neuber as
leader. In addition, Miss Helene Brandt
| appears as the soprano soloist. She has
strong, cultured soprano voice, and sings
with more precision and vigor than sweet
ness. The orchestra embraces these instru-
ments: Piano, first and second violins, bass
viol, violoncello, clarionette, cornet, flute,
and snare and kettle drums. The selections
given were: coronation March" from the
opera OF 1.-The Prophet ;" THE Mute of
| Portici;' overture, Auber; potpourri OF
popular melodies, Conrad; Flats
de Joie;" waltz, Waldteuiel; over
ture to Poet and Peasant" Suppe
selections from Rgoletto. Verdi; Leave
taking on the Railroad" Strauss Also the
"Figiio Mic" from the Prophet sting by
Miss Brandt, and SIT Was Dream" by
, the same vocalist. In addition Miss Neuber
played for a violin solo Singelee's Faue al
sic Pastorale," and Misses Neuber, Hamann
and Marguerite Brandt gave the trio for
violin, violincello and piano, Robaudi's
"SteIla Confdente." The whole made up
an attractive programme, which was pre-
sented in thoroughly artistic manner, and
the troupe proved one Of the best orchestral
continuation which has appeared here. The
troupe gives a second concert at the came
place this evening with an entire change of
programme, and should command the attend.
ance of lovers OF fine orchestration. 1t is
probable that the slenderness OF the audi
ence last evening was due to the fact that the
management failed to announces the opening
concert in the morning paper and the public
had not therefore timely notice of it. The
management has wisely placed the price of
admission to these concerts at the popular
rate OF 90 cents, an example that should be
followed by nine out of ten of all the troupes
that bid for patronage.
