 THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY
 ! There was large audience at the first pre- ! sentation of the "Chimes of Normandy b l New Haven artists under the direction o Professor A. G. Sherlock. The entertain ! ment was grand success in every re spect. The chorus sang and acted well, an \ all of the solo parts were well taken. Ms Lizzie c. Gaffney t'Serpolette'' was tn I favorite of the evening. Her excellent act | ing and artistic singing infused life into tn whole performance. It is enough of prais to say that this lady's reputation earned il I 'sPinafore'' and ''Penikeese" was fully sue ! is entitled to large share of praise for he ! excellent interpretation of 'Germaine. 'sHel ! ri, Marquis of Bonneville, Twas ably imperson l ated by Dr. G. M. Bush. MT. P. w. Bus as clean Grenicheaux'' kept the audienc laughing most of the time, and sang the tw
 solos allotted to him in his usual artisti ! manner. Mir. David Callahan gave credit
 able rendition of "Gaspard," the miser H
 was trifle too deliberate in the second ac
 doubt tonight. Mir. George I
 Smith acted the ''Bail1i'' very we'll, and b
 and his assistants, the s'Notary," Assessor
 and Registrar" caused much laughter Ih
 musical director was Mir. Henry Foster,
 Meriden, to whom is entitled much credit ft
 the success of the undertaking. The stas ! setting in the last act, the action and singh
 of the chorus and the performance a ! through reflect great credit on Prof. She

 will be repeated this and to morrow evening ! Full houses are assured as we'll as an enjoy ! ble evening to all who attend.
 ! THE AMATEUR CONCERT IN BEHALF OF TT \ YOUNG WoMEN's CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
 It is not often that Carll's Opera House graced with such cultured and fashionab audience as was present last evening. TT occasion was the amateur concert, compos. ! mainly of local artists who offered their SC vices in behalf of the noble charity f. which the concert was inaugurated. 4 } | though not supposed to be critical, the a
 sembly was one fully able to appreciate @
 cellence and easily detect the slightest fau l There was an air and ease of refineme which characterized it and made it enioyab ! for all who were present. The main body I the house was completely filled, al large numbers occupied the parquet and dre ! circles. Many ladies were in semi full dres without hats, and the conventional evenil dress for gentlemen was conspicuous. Wh ) it is said by such artists as Madam Nilsso f ! "It makes me tremble every time I appe l before an audience" the trying ordeal f amateurs may we'll be imagined, and th l they do not more often fail in meeting wi l success is surprising. Those who took ss
 last evening are to be congratulated upon t , ! result of their efforts, which were more sr l ! cessIul Lnan tnelr most Sangulne frlen @ might have looked for. The first number e ! the programme was quartette by Mess
 Kellogg, Jones, Jessup and Hoyt. It was 1 pleasant feature of the concert, a d brought forth merited applause, 0 did their efforts later in I evening. A cornet solo by Mir. Alexand
 Wurts, s. $. s., followed, which was cred 5 ably performed, calling forth expressions @ pleasure and 8 tribute of flowers. Miss Ali :, l Harwood next sang L. Angelo D. Amore T sl anxiety of some of the young lady's frien, s fearing that her voice would hardly be al d to fill the hall and the curiosity of the au
 ence at large, were soon changed into fe
 ings of delight and surprise. With becomi
 grace and modesty Miss Harwood made I appearance and the audience soon forgot u l they were listening to a young lady who VI
 making her first attempt in public. I audience was charmed with her vol d which is of rare and beautifully sw Ie quality, well rounded. clear and brilliant, " ! sympathetic, soft and rich. Her executi -- shows admirable schooling, and her expr ? sion is unusually charming. The selectit ce were excellent for showing the qualities n- voice, but gave little opportunity for g r. display of brilliancy. Great applause gre Us ed her efforts, and she might easily have re herself behind the quantities of flowers t 10 ! were bestowed upon her, among which re appeared the fairest flower of all. The st ty ''Elegie," with violoncello obligato, by M D. Harwood and MT. M. Steinert was a che
 number. the delicate tones of the 'c
 strengthening and intensifying the sweetn
 of the vocal music. The string qr le tette, composed of MT. Franz Mil sll and the Messrs Steinert, did admiral IF and was heartily encored, and
 - Solo by Mir. M. Steinert on the violonc, 'n also gave much pleasure. The Misses op gelica and Henriette Felowes, young lat de of very prepossessing appearance, surpri od the audience with their superior vocal sl ~ Their selections were of the most diff ''s operatic order, such as are only attempted st' the most renowned operatic singers. ,s- stBsl Raggio," from 'Semiramide," Ross .s requires the greatest perfection in execut .0 to make it acceptable, and that \ op Angelica Fellowes overcame the diff st. passages with wonderful ease was thoroue . evident from the hearty enc he to which she responded "The Sha. Dance," Myerbeer, rendered by m Henrietta Fellowes, was also artistic n he ipulation of the voice, and also called fc < a hearty encore. The voices of these yo ., ladies show evidence of continued study ,U the German school, which characterizes ne their singing. They are of g h. volume and power, highly cultu
