Nine. Etelka Gerster's concert, which
will take place tomorrow evening at Lin
coin Hail. has been the theme of CONVEX
sation among our music-loving people ever
since the first announcement was made.
The sale of seats, which commenced on Saturday
morning at Metzerotts, indicated that there would
be full house; but that was no more than was
expected. The success of Nine. Gerster has been
most marked and has been justly deserved wilma
voice of peculiar sweetness and iexibity, she also
possesses dramatic force which adds 10 the al
tractiyeness of her operate performances. Inc
only opportunity our citizens have had Of hearing
her was during the all too brief season of the Ma
pleson Opera Company, when she appeared IN
ia Sonnambula,' and the extremely favorable
impression she created then caused an earnest de-
sire to hear her again. Nine. Gerster will be as
sisted tomorrow night by Miss Emily Winant,
contralto; Signor A. MOntegrifo, tenor; Monsieur
Adolphe Fisher violoneello; Monsieur Calaxa
Lavallee (of Paris, piano; Mr.. George W. Colby,
accompanist.N
FoRD's OPERA HOUSE.
Tonight Ford's Opera House will be opened by
the celebrated Georgia Minstrels. Concerning the
performances of this troop the Boston Daily i'd
getSer says in reference to its engagement in that
city, as follows: Moreover, a company that can
boast of four end men must indeed be q talented
one and such ends are seldom seen; it is q lively
scene both on and off the stage. The troop is un-
doubtedly the best that has ever performed in this
city. Forty thousand people attended their four
weeks performances here. Possibly desire to
witness negro minstrelsy by original darkies-as
in days gone by-together with thoroughly en-
ioyable performance, from which everything OBJ
jectonable is eliminated, drew together the audi
ences which completely filed the hall. They are
at the head of the minstrel business in this coun-
try"
