CINCINNATI, May 16.-The first concert
OF the fifth Cincinnati May Musical Festival
was given in Music Hall tonight. The
weather was delightful The audience
numbered about $500. The ladies OF the
chorus appeared in white or light-tinted
dress, and the gentlemen in black.
The audience was well dressed, and made
n fine appearance under the brilliant lights.
The chorus was in good spirits, and merely
as a spectacle constituted feature OF in
ferest. Its rehcarsals had given it conf
dence, aud the Requiem" by Mozart,
which came first on the programme, had no
terrors for il. Materna and Caudidus,
Miss Cary and Whitney, appeared in this
number as soloists, and the organ was
brought into requisltion. The second
number was Beethoven's symphony in
"F," by the orchestra. A recitatiye
and aria by Materna, "Abscheulich-
err" from Beethoyen's "Fidelio," was
the third number rendered, and that
brought the time TO the long intermission,
which allowed the audience opportunity to
stroll i'm the corridors or take walk in the
floral hall Of the Exposition building. and
take coffee or lunch ut the restaurant fitted
up there. Floral Hall was handsomely de-
corated with plants and flowers, and with
its gravel walks, rustic walls, and rockery,
made pleasing appearance under the gas
light. The entire second part was con-
sumed in the rendition OF the third num-
Der, the Dettingen "Te Deum," by
Handel, with Miss Cary, Messrs. Rem
mertz and Toedt in the vocal solo parts;
r. Dietz in trumpet obligato, and Mr..
George E. Whiting at the organ. Miss
Cary appeared in solo, with the chorus
singing five parts. Formerly this work
has been rendered differently from the
manner in which IL was written as to parts
for some instruments. In this instance IT
was rendered as Handel intended 1t should
be, and as he wrote it. The original score
was restored by Theodore Thomas. and he
had trumpets, such as Handel employed,
specially constructed for this occasion.
Heretofore other instruments have always
been substituted for some instruments en-
ployed by Handel.
The audience was not Mt first enthuslas-
tic, but Frau Materna was received with
applause and Miss Cary with shouts. The
chorus was perfect i'm Mozart's "Requiem."
plauded. At the close Of the first part OF
the programme the audience recalled Frau
Matena no less than tive times. The TIE
Deum was rendered with perfect precision
by the chorus, but was received coldly.-
