MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE HAYDN CONCERT.

1
The Haydns gave complimentary concert
| last evening to their friends in Union Han,
which was, perhaps, the finest miscellaneous
| concert ever given by the society Inc pro-
gramme began with an overture by Prol.
| Grimmer's orchestra, which was timely rem
dered and was received with hearty applause.
Mr.. Thomas sang the Glars Song" by Hat
| ton, with taste, and was encored, when he re-
| sponded with laughing song, which convuis-
| ed the audience. The Weber Club furnished
two numbers on the programme, and sang
splendidy. Miss E. w Faherty, the leading
soprano of St. Dominic's church, sang TRUST
ing" by Willard, with feeling and lnteiil-
gence. She has soprano voice OF much purl-
ty. Miss Annie Greeley, who has been heard
in our concert rooms before, possesses power
full mezzo-soprano voice. and she sang 1.-THE
Camellia and Rose," by GAM, very acceptably.
The Rakoczy Marsch, rendered by Mrs. Kotz-
SEMINAR, Miss Jordan and Mrs. Gosse, was
splendidly executed. Mr.. f. V. Chase, the
tenor, gave Marston's Break, Break" and
Hatton's 'Bid me to Live with feeling and
artistic taste Miss Milliken of course sang
exquisitely the ballad, "Star of Glengary,'
and was encored. The Cecilia Quartette
never sang better, and were warmly applauded.
Miss Eveleth's full and rich contralto voice
was heard to unusually good advantage in her
number, Addio Napoli. This was her frst
appearance since her return from Europe. Mr..
Somers has fine bass voice, of good compass;
with study he will make singer OF enyiable
reputation. His song, zone Hundred Faith
oms Deep was we'll rendered. The Haydns
sang with their usual good shading and precls-
ion, under the baton OF Mr.. kotzschmar, ana
Miss Jordan acted as accomPanlst IN ner usual
finished manner. After the close OF the con-
cert Miss Nettie Milliken was the recipient OF
an elegant marble mantel clock and bust OF
Handel, from the house of VIM. Senter q Co.,
gift of the association. The clock and bust
were upon the piano during the evening, but
were concealed by an ingeniously constructed
and beautiful floral Tyre. As Mr.. Coyle, the
president of the association, stepped forward
to make the presentation speech, the Tyre was
lifted, displaying the gifts. Miss Miiliken
was completely surprised, and could only say
'sThanks to ALL" Ice cream and other re-
freshments were then served, and. after time
spent in social intercourse, the society ad-
journed till September.
