applause Of the audience which nuns
bered, despite the bad weather Of the
forenoon, fully eight hundred.
LET ME DREAM AGAIN,
by Mile Fremeapx, q charming yout
lady, d resident Of Baton Rouge In
her youthful days, was rendered With
the talent and force Of o prima donna.
Mile Fremeavx took tho audience by
storm and was enthusiastically APP
plnnded and encored Till she grace
fully yielded and again delighted her
hearers with the sweet notes Of her
admirable voice.
The Posquipade Of Gottschalk, by
Nine. Joubert was executed on nc
peat mieur 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-
p|auded again and again but could
not yield to the persistent demand,
owing to the fact that time was rap
idly waning. She scored A. |, in
every respect.
The Al1eiWn dAmom, by the
lovely Nine, D'Aguin, was brilliant
ly rendered. Nine. D'Aquin yocali-
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 encoted.
The Fantastic b,3I'anle, by the great
hutist, Mr.. D'AquiD, was excellent.
That gentleman more than sustain.
cd Bis 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 NJ the Muette de por-
tici, by Mr.. Joubert, WIS simply
grand, and the wonderfully gifted
artist who seemed both inspired and
enthused, rendered the Moroccan il
such manner ~ 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, 80 brilliant II
concert. They will be happy indeed,
at some future time, to welcome these
same artists, and give them benefit,
III appreciation, not only Of their tai.
ent, but of their patriotism in coming
here, without remuneration, to aid in
the noble undertaking of erecting n
tomb and monument to the dend he.
roes of the Army Of Tennessee.
INCIDENTS.
The excursionists numbered some
seven or eight hundred, and would
have numbered more had il not been
for the bad weather that began in
New Orleans last week and kept up
till to-day. 1t seemed though, as If
the clerk Of the weather felt like ex-
tending every facility in his power,
for he arranged his programme so as
to allow the excursionists to land,
visit the city, listen to the outdoor
concert and depart with q clear sky
overhead, using tbeintervals only for
shower time.
The excursionists departed ut 6;3O
p. NJ, amid the booming OF the artil-
1ery, the inspiriting strains of the
band, who escorted them over to tho
trains with large delegation Of tho
people, who waved their handker-
chiefs in response to theirs until the
train had disappeared in the distance.
The mass OF the people from the
surrounding country were kept away
by the heavy rams, though large
throng filled our streets. Fine weather
would have brought here fully 5000
people. All we have to say in con
clusion, is that the citizens Of Baton
Rouge, with one voice, say to their
friends Of the Army ofTennessee and
Of the Crescent City, "CoME AGAIN.
