what has been said, and SO we'll, this
morning, it is not necessary to 60 into
details. Messrs. Castner, Won Gun
dell, Stanley, Kremer, Newton and
Wendell evinced talent, careful train
ing and true expression in different de-
grees. The concert as a whole was a de-
lightful entertainment and a complete
success. The chorus singing by the
Orpheus' club under direction of Prof.
Schultze was feature not to be for
gotten, and was very favorably receiv-
ed, especially by the more critical mu-
sical people of the audience. Coming
down from the artistic to a practical
view Of the occasion, it was a crafty
ing success. There were at least 800
people in the house, and very few of
them on complimentary tickets. The
expenses, thanks to the friends Of the
fair recipient, were less than ever
known before on such an occasion here
in Memphis. This testimonial speaks
we'll for the taste, culture and public
spirit of Memphis, showing that talent
and laudable ambition are always
recognized here and encouraged. To
Miss Jones this must ever be a most
delightful memory, and should she
pursue her musical studies and win
triumphs in other and wider fields, 1t
will always be a pleasure doubtless to
know that the truest and best of
friends were those Of the home of her
childhood and first efforts.

ham as Mazeppa. AS the page she
charms her audience, as the expert
swordsman she fills them with enthu-
siasm, as the daring rider she elec-
tri6es them with mingled wonder,
fear and admiration, and as King of
Tartary, triumphant over his enemies,
bright, dazzling and superb. A bond
Of affection seems to exist between
Mazeppa and her graceful steed, james
Melville, a horse who possesses fine
intelligence. He is perfectly under
the control OF his fair mistress, and
seems uneasy when she is not near.
The support was good enough. Bright
features, such as dancing, singing and
merry repartee, were interspersed to
relieve the heavier part of the play
and make it interesting. To night
Miss Buckingham will appear as Dick
Turpin, the famous English highway
man, in which her snow.white horse
will be introduced.

any more to feed sheep that Will shear ten to

appears from the evidence that the claimant
went to the residence OF the deceased with his

supper provided spent the long winter evening
in pleasant games Mr.. Elmer Shrine accom-

Saturday, tired but with e1hllarated spirits, the
