TIE sACHsE
An Enjoyable Concert Given TO q small
Audience.

1t was presumable, before last night, that
an entertainment having so worthy an
object rs had the Sachse concert, would
have drawn a packed house; but now such
. presumption is known to be erroneous.
For the Academy of Music, last night, con-
tanned "a small. but select audience to
use the ~stereotyped words of the provincial
critic. The programme, as originally pre-
Pared, vas as follows:

Mr-C. Y. Lucas and chorus.
Mr. Hartley Thompson.
The two selections by the Opera House
Orchestra were beautifully rendered and
applauded to the echo, especially the Pa
thence overture in the second part.
Mrs. Eoff was in admirable voice and
pleased as much by her pretty appearance
as BY her fine vocalization. She has an
easy, unaSsuming and winning grace that
never fails to delight. The orchestra &C,
Commandment was quite an addition, and
Mr. Eoff sings much better with such, APP
pearing to like il. As an encore piece she
sang a solo from the Chimes OF Nor
mandy"
The duet. violin and piano, by Prof.
Schockev and Mr.. Eugene BOYER, was 50
successfully and spiritediy rendered as 10
have received a hearty encore. Both OF
these gentlemen are fayorites with the
musical public.
1t has been a long time since Mr.. C.. ".
Eoff has appeared in public, save as an ac-
CompaniSt. and it should not be 50 long
again. His selections were very brilliant
ones, requiring skillful execution and
delicacy and regularity OF touch and were
pleasingly rendered.
The chOruses from the Chimes OF Nor
mandy" lost much of their effort by dis
pensing with their handsome costumes.
They were also too small numerically and
the sound over awed by the orchestral a..
compartment. The music was very pretty.
but the management much a mistake by
not selecting the bell chorus.
1t is strange that with his singularly
beautiful voice, Mr.. Ankle should be so
timid and fearful OF his own powers. His
clear, sweet tenor is always heard with
pleasure, though his lack OF nerve detractS
from the expression and feeling he would
would otherwise throw into his music. For
an encore he sang MillardS Waiting
Prof. Louis Was violin solo, with the
orchestral accompaniment. showed plenty
of melody and expressed a beautiful piece
of music. The Professors playing is too
mechanical to be perfect, though far from
being amateuriSh.
Mrs. Caldwell never sun better or look
ed as well as she did last night. Her waltz
song was very nicely sung, the high notes
taken with ClearneSs aud precision and
voiced with expression. She was warmly
enCored and sang a pretty and fayorite bal
lad.
Mrs. Whitaker, TO the regret OF the audi
enCe. was announced To be unwell, and Mr..
Thompson, equally to their regret and for
some unexplained reason, did not sing.
And with the solo and chorus by Mr.. Lucas,
the programme was concluded.
