The several numbers were enthusiastically
applauded, and the audience were so thor
oughly delighted that in their desire for
reproduction OF the pleasures they were re-
gsrdless of the feelings OF the singers and
insisted on ereores. We will not attempt
any close criticism or extended notice of the
entertainment, as It was in its entirety of
such excellence ard afforded such
genuine pleasure that all We could
say would be in praise and
commentator. Truly, 1t was a con-
cert of superior merit, and reflected great
credit, not only on the ladies and gentlemen

but upon Prof Mallette, who had the dlree
ton. The singing of Mrs. Kate Haigh and
Mrs. NJ. A. Schnell was charming, and
thrilled the assemblsge, and the enthusiasm
which greeted them was well mer-
tied Mr.. P. II. Ward and Prof. NAL
lette, in the duet "Flow Gently, Deva,"
well sustained their reputation and were
handsomely eOmplimented with the plaudits
of the house. Signor FerrsZZi and Mr..
James Douglass, were received in their num-
bers with every manifestation of delight,
and their artistic excellence never elected
greater appreciation. Miss Rachel Ferst,
who possesses a voice of exquisite sweet
ness, sang with fine effecs "Robert, the Idol
of My Heart, +" which called forth deafening
applause and for an encore, she sang the
gobble song from 'the Mascotte," per-
sonating "Bettins," and Mrs. Cleveland,
the accomplished aceompanist, giving the
part of ''Bep3o" This wss a gem of the
concert shd was rarely enjoyed as the ap-
plause attested.
Mr.. T. NJ. Ray sang SANDY Haired Mary
In our Area" in a style that compelled his
temperance 10 answer to continued APP
plause, when he gave "Babies on the Brain"
in a capital manner.
