 GIFTED ARTIST.
 MT. Edward Hermann, the vioIinist en- gagged for the series of Chamber concerts, was but lately concert meister at the Impe- rial Opera, St. Petersburg The New York Tunes says of him: ''Mr. Hermann is 8 sensi tive and unsteady gifted artist, who never descends to stage tricks, but plays like an ar tist who respects his profession It is not often in New Haven that such an array of musical artists can be heard in one evening as will be heard next Tuesday, Dec. 19. DUPREz x BENEDICT.
 The celebrated Duprez & Benedict min strels will appear at Carlls Opera House on Saturday evening. The Newark (N. J.) Daily Register of October speaks thus in new gigantic minstrels gave a fine concert last night The Grand Opera House was crowded last evening to enjoy the clever per fornance of this popular company. Nothing can be said of the performance but ill praise, as not one act was performed that not first-class. To particularizew will be superfr- ous, as all were equally good. They may we'll l claim to be the best on the road" THE SKATING RINK.
 The grand illumination of the skating rink and concert occurs to nioht and no doubt there will be Q crowded house. The exhibi- ton of fancy skating at the rink Wednesday evening by Wm. J. Merrills, of Lowell, Mass, l was much enjoyed. Mir. Merrills is pupil of Robert Aginton, who exhibited at the rink last year. The concert this evening is by | members of the American band under the direction of J. P. Stack and will commence 1 at 7:3O. The programme is s:s follows: l.

A clean and highly satisfactory show vas given by Callender's Consolidated Minstrel company last evening at Peck's Grand Opera 1 House. A grand audience present and l were greatly amused by the genuine negro songs and dances. Features which mark | this company's performance are excellent 1 music, both vocal and instrumental, good dancing, a cleverness in portraying genuine darkey fun that beats them all, and l Billy Kersands' big mouth. The first part of the programme, with some new varia- | tions, introducing the usual songs and jokes, I was excellent, and the concluding half,, be- l sides bringing out roars of laughter, consist ed of very meritorious and novel perform ances. A bigger set of men are rarely seen i in a minstrel company, but Bob Mack's little 1 game rooster evidently felt big enough to l whip any of them, and proved himself to be an important member of the grand combina 1 tion-
 MISS JESSIE CoUTHoUI. 1 The readings at the Atheneum last evening were under the auspices of the young ladies of the Third Congregational church. There was large audience, which was delighted with the entertainment. It was most satis- factory indeed. Miss Couthoui well sus- tained the highly favorable opinions she has won elsewhere, and on all sides the hope WAS expressed that she might read here again. 1 The programme included vocal and instru mental music and was as follows:
