Those people who came stamping In late

hearing the "Arion Quartetie" sing Here IL

tette," however, to say this was not thu
worst singing of the evening. The audience
certainly thought II would be the worst; ane

the same quartette butchered "Come where
INV Love Lies Dreaming" 1t was dreadful
beyond description, aud the deafening ap
plause which followed 1t only testified the
great Joy of the audience, on being assured
that the "Ariop Quartette" would sing no
more that evening.
Miss Abigail McGinnessy rendered recita'
tive and aria, BY Cappo,s, In the manner that
has long ago become 50 sadly familiar TO our
suffering people, and lie always a source oil
profound embarrassment TO the accompanist,
who foundered along last night In the ps-
tient but vain hope Of getting even with the
singer somewhere by scrambling across lots,
and heading her of In some unusually pro
longed run. But this was impossible, and
the singer and accompapist were never with
In six bars Of each other during the whole
of the alleged performance. Mr.. Poundawa,
the time honored accompanied In all these
affairs, by the way, did even worse than usu-
al last evening. We arc panied to notice
that his habit of playing on the edge OF the
piano, two inches away from the keys, grows
upon him, and be should either change his
drink or his vocation.
Mrs. Bangalon played monastery Bells"

name In the programme; but every one
knows what Is coming after Mrs. Bangalon
finally gets the piano moved into precisel,
the right place-which h always just

the people nearest the door an opportunity
TO slip out before she begins TO play. The
reporters Of the city press used 10 90 out o.
this time; but since Bangalon has taken to
standing al the door TO watch refugees, thy
have, with excellent taste and better judg
msnt, abandoned the custom, and silently
swallowed their full cup Of misery. As Mrs.
Bsngalon left the stage, Joab Garbey, who
was asleep In the gallery, fell off his chat,
and installing the noise for an encore, Mrs.
Bangslon returned and pounded out the
"Maidsn's Prayer" Somebody ought to kill
that man Garbey.

1t was Is good as circus TO hear Madame
Paraplue sing " Robert, toi que raime." II
the old lady's lungs were as big as her feet
she might sing more aud wheeze less. As 1t
10, candor compels us to say that case OF
asthma weighing PIT pounds Is no artistic
addition to o concert.
MISS uppercea played the same old "lm-
provisation" she began playing In these COL
certs eighteen years ago. II lasts about as
we'll as her diamonds, and changes about as
little. II Is time she had II published, and
improvised something new.
Jim Thurlow came out and sang his I'M
changing "Ah, so fair" The agony Of the
audience during this time Of trial was fairly
insupportable. His high notes are greatly
admired because bis voice always breaks into
. thin falsetto squeak on them, and he cant
make so much noise as he can on bis chest
tones. II Jim had been born dumb, or his
audience deaf, the world would be much
happier. Some time he will 60 away from
home and sing, and the Judge will give him
sixty days for IL. Sn.l this would not be ex-
trayagant. His singing Is worth IL; every
day OF IL. ....
The only excuse for putting Miss Maltby
on the programme every time there Is con-

In Lowell county.
With . voice, musical education, and gen.
stal ability about up 10 the grade Of "Baoy
Mine," she sang her old standby last night,
the "Spinning- wheel Song" from Faust
II Marguerite could only have sung It as
Miss Maliby sang II, II would have saved the
poor child world OF trouble. 1t would
have scared Faust, Mephistopheles, aud the
whole gang out Of the country. There Ia
more music In Mr.. Maltbys bung starter
than there ID In his daughter. Much ha,
heretofore been said In these columns about
Miss Maltbys beauty. While the spirit o.

Mr.. Bellows sang "Oh, Ye Tears" Mr.
Bellows has rich baritone voice-a wheel
barrow tone, that IL. Unfortunately for bill
effort last evening, lobody knew he wa
singing until he finished the butchery Of Or
and bowed himself of the stage. Everybod,
thought he was just trying his voice. i

on its own evidence.
