The Concert.

Levin's Hall was crowded almOst to slffocation Wednesday at the musical en- tertaipment for the Catholic Church or gan fund, and had the hall possessed double the capacity the room would have been limited, as many coulI not find even standing room in the building. Seats had beaE reserved during the day from the stage to the entrance Of the hall, and 80 soon as tue doors were opened ln the evening a big rusl was made for seats. Shortly after o'clock the curtain rose and the overture, |" ] "a DavOlo," was admirably rendered on two pianos by Misses 4 znes Paul Mary Zabriskie, Maggie Carr.i and Annie Box, pupils of St. JOseph's Academy. This was followed by "Der FreiscihItz," by Mrs. J. $. Mansfield, ,accompanied by Mrs. $. Ainsa on the piano. This aria pleased the audience immepselF, and the sweet singer was applaudedlong and loud.
 Tine cornet and piano duet, by Miss Mamie Penney and Mr. Fl. B. Teimey, WIS very artisticaiiy rendered, and Mr. Penney was accorded many expressions of praise for the skillful mannerm which he produced the most exquisite tones from the usually harsh cornet. Follow ing this came the bass solo from Mo- zart's Magic Flute. "Who treads the path of duty," 6 grand piece of music that was Grtistically rendered by Dr. C. E. HolbrOok.
 Frio Belisario, trio, by Misses. NJ. Moroney, NJ. Hittinger and Mr. II. Ward, was gem, in which the splendid voices of the two ladles blended with complete harmony, aud AIr Wards rich baritone added much to the completeness of the music.
 "Lo the Factotum," from the Barber of Seville, was very ably rendered by MT. A. Redeuill, and kept the house in an excellent good bumor, and the Tickling and Laughing Trio, by Mrs. J. $. Mans field, Messrs. Ward and Redeuill, was the most Imaginable, yet ably rendered pro- ductiOn of the evening.
 After brief intermission the Fan Brigade was brought on and received a hearty encore. IL was composed of Misses Carrie Dixon, Georgie Spaulding, Birdie Hamburg, Dora Wolf, Mabel Strauss, Adria Buckley, Helen Thomp- son, Mary MOroney and Agnes Smith, and the perfect manner in which they performed their act reflected great credit upon their instructoT-Miss Maggie Moroney.

 Owing to the indisposition of the lady who was next on the programme, ly special request Mir. Willis r. Haynes gave a recitation of g scene from Rip Ran Wrinkle in his usual iuimitable style, and Was followed by Mr. Il. Ward, who sang Thy Sentinel Am l" a fine bass solo, after which a comic trio, The Schoolmaster," was sung by Misses Az ues Paul and Leliau Johnson, and Mr. Redeuil. It was a most humorous af- IaIr and produced cCnvulsIOns of laugh ter. Mr. Moses katz followed with a cornet gem that exhibited q skillful manipulation of that difficult instru- ment, and brought forth much applause.
 The animal quintett, by Messrs. kie- sei, COenen, RedeuiI, Ward and Hol- brook concluded the programme, and the audience dispersed with the Cifer- yescence of mirth still gushing forth.
 Mrs. ;. Ainsa accompanied the singers with the piano, and she performed her task with rare skill and elicited the con- mendation of all present.
 The concert was an admirable success in every particular and reflects great credit upon all who participated. Mir. \. Redeuill, the manager, exhibited rare ability, energy and skill in the produc- ti1n of a creditable affair. whose com plete success is due principally to his efforts.
