 THE KELLOGG CONCERT.
 The concert given at Carll's Opera House last evening by the Kellogg concert company was most successful and very much enjoyed by the small but enthusiastic audience pres ent Although there were large number of responses to encores, the usual tediousness common to the ordinary concert was con- spicuously absent. The selections being of simple character, particularly those of Miss Kellogg, may account principally for this, and as is the case frequently they were the most enjoyable portions of the concert. Miss Kellogg's presence was first made known by her warbling behind the scenes. It brought forth an expression of pleasure from the audience, for she has been known not to appear when advertised to on former occa- sions. Her entrance upon the stage was greeted with hearty applause and it was evi- dent from her manner that she intended to do all in her power to make the concert en- joyable. She did so by singing in all eight different times, five times to hearty sncores. She is somewhat stouter and evidently sings her most classical pieces with an effort which formerly she was free from. Her ballads were sung with her old time sweet ness and purity, and she has lost none of her art as 8 winning and sympathetic actress. At the close of the immortal ballad ''Way down upon the Swanee river" there was stiffness which the audience seemed 10th to disturb but finally did so with the most fattering applause. Herr Adamowski, the violinist was the first to call forth any marked demon stration from the audience. His playing was artistic throughout, his tones being delicate and pure and his lowing finished, no teehni- cal difficulties marring his grace. Miss Poole responded to merited encores, her rich con- tralto voice evoling much praise and adding very much to the pleasure of the occasion. Herr s. Liebling showed wonderful tech nique, his style being after that of Joseffy. As pianist he is certainly a superior artist Signor Tagliapietra, the baritone, was in ex- cellent voice, and his efforts were greeted with merited approval. Signor Brignoli, formerly the prince of tenors, still holds some of the rich qualities of his voice, and his well earned popularity was manifested in a recall. The disagreeable features Of the entertainment lay in the inexcusable delay of the commencement of the concert and the want of programmes, which was very annoy ing
