EQUALLY divided between afternoon and evening,
with a slight advantage posi- bly,. In favor of the
evening. In the afternoon the visiting singers
who had taken part in the first
concert very generally embraced the privilege
given them to attend the matinee and by filling the
chorus stage fripged round about with evergreen
dotted with white lilies they added materially to
the appearance of the hall. At night the stage was
only partially filed, the New-York and Brooklyn
choluses being alone
The circular explaining the absence of Mrs. Os-
good ami announcing the substitution of Mrs L.
Humphrey Allen, of Boston, which was dis
tributed IN the hall last night. contained also
the welcome intelligence that it is confidently
expected that Mrs. Osgood will be able to sing on
Friday and Saturday evenings" One of the Festi-
val directors also said yesterday that he thought
il not improbable that Miss Cary would
he sufficiently recovered by Saturday TO take part
in the Italian matinee. 1t has been very keen dis
appointment to this favorite of the public
that she has not been able to sing, but
she has wisely chosen not to make the
attempt rather than TO try and fall short of the
requirements of the music.

The audience was little tardy in gathering
last night. several hundred arriving in the
hall after the p ,rformance Of the symphony. The
Mass seemed to have enlisted their interest most
and it was a fact worthy Of note that while hun
dres left the hall in the afternoon during the play
lug of the overture to "Ruy Bias" the last
portion of the Mass suffered absolutely
no interruption from this cause. The circumstance
was hi.hy crecitable to the intelligence and taste
of the audience The trumuet fanfare which
called the people back TO their places last night.
a0a fixed their attention the business Of the even
OF the Gloria Of the Mass. There
was a pretty appropratencss III tie IDEA
which viii br continued at each of the concerts
TUESDAY night the fanfare was borrowed from the
Handel JubIate.
