THE ORGAN EXHIBITION.
The organ concert at the Congregational
church last evening was rich treat 10 our
music-oving public. The singing of Miss
Macias was fully appreciated by the large au-
dience, who demanded an encore after each
OF her numbers on the programme. She sings
in rich, full and sweet voice, of remarkable
compass and promise. Careful study will
certainly insure for her brilliant muaieal flu
ture. Miss Maoias is a pupil of the celebrat-
ed Madame De Barri OF New York, but, al
though her musical accomplishments are we'll
known and highly appreciated by her friends
in New York, her studies have not been pur-
sued with view to professional career, and
we believe this is only the second occasion on
which she has appeared in any public capaci-
ty. To her rare musical gifts she adds an I'M
affected grace pnd simplicity which wins at
once the favor and elimination Of her hearers.
The playing of Mr.. Kies vas mastery. II
showed the result OF years of careful and in
telligent study. His phrasing of "St AIMS
Fugue," by Bach, was especially good for the
expressive evenness and stateliness of the
Tempo taken. Bat his rendition of the diff
cult Sonata ip + minor, No. l, by Mendelssohn,
was the gem Of tLe eyening, and evneed
perhaps more clearly than Rny other selection,
to the general audience present., Mr.. Aies's
wonderful technical skill and breadth Of in
depreciation. Mr.. Kies is pupil Of Haupt,
