A MUSICAL EVENT,

The entertainment of the Ladies' Choral
Society was largely attended at the theater
last night by cultivated, critical and kindly
audience. The ladies of the Society were
assisted By VIII Beardslee and the gentlemen
of the Turner Harmonic, and by the Sym
phonia Orchestra. The programme included
the operetta of The Miracle of the Roses"
and the presentation of the prayer from Ros-
sini's " Moses in Egypt" There always has
been a sufficiently strong force of amateur
vocalists in Sacramento to sustain good vocal
organizations, but the difficulty has been to
gather. group and hold them together in har.
mony for long and sincere musical training
The Choral Society is a novel venture, since
it includes only feInsle voices. Thus far it
has been a success. 1t has passed into lis
second year, and has been the means Of no.
ticeably culhvsting good voices and Of stimu-
lating music study among worthy people, and
in fair degree in elevating public tastes. The
Musical Directress of the Society has been,
and last evening was, Mrs. Fleissner-Lewis.
The ladies whose names appeared in the pro-
gramme, outside of the chorus, were Miss
Annie Babcock, Miss Carrie Dray, Mrs. Ed.

The music Of the operetta, which is by
Bordese Is light and pleasing and does not
call for great effort, was rendered with credit
to the Society, and to the satisfaction Of the
audience, which manifested its approval
warmly. Certainly the ladies have reason to
be much encouraged by the success of last
evening. The chief dramatic action de-
volved upon Mrs. Edward Cadwalader,
Miss Carrie Dray, Mrs. Clara Byrne, Miss
LsRue, Miss Bsbcock, Mrs. J. a. Muir,
Mrs. Shauklin Miss Wittenbrock and Mrs
Henry. There was more freedom from en-
barrassmeut than any one expected, and IN |
deed the drama l. quite equaled the lyric ef- |
fects Mrs. Cadwslader's were the chief |
solos, and were sung with much sweetness |
and ease, and with exceedingly good effect, |
the panrivs character OF the measures gwen |
her contributing to her success and being |
well adapted to her voice. Miss Dray, Miss |
Lakue, Mrs. katzeustein and Mrs. Henry !
had solos. as also Mrs. Muir and Mrs. Shank |
lin, and rendered them acceptably, Mr.. |
Beardslee's is comparatively new voice
here, and produced an agreeable effect
His measures were not calculated to test his
qualities, but such as he gave testified to the
possession by a very youthful person OF ma
tive ability. and a voice of broad promise,
under proper treatment. The orchestra,
which, in It's present form, made its first APP
pearance in public last evening, received
warm applause. It is composed of fifteen
young people OF musical inclination, who en-
gage in the study Of orchestral music with a
view solely to crafty refined tastes. These
were aided by one professional, while Pro
lessor Fleissnerrbeld the baton over them.
Their orchestration was a surprise in its
pleasing results. Some hesitancy and timid-
ity, and some uneveuness, was noticeable, but
It was less frequent and important by far
than any fair judgment would expect on
Grst appearance. Indeed. the new orchestra
was a center of attraction and deserved com
pliment Beside supporting the vOcallsts,
playing scores arranged by Professors Hol-
brook snd Flsissner, it rendered the overture
from The Sleeping Beauty, Puerners

ORANGE GRoWING.-I. would seem that
the central portion of the State may yet
prove quite a rival with the southern in the
business Of orange growing. There are, even
much further uorth than Sacramento, some
exceedingly fine and thrifty-gro wing orange
trees which fully mature fruit, and appear
60 do as well 90 the trees further south Or.

favor, and are ready for market even earlier.
