4ias Uppesess played the A0o old
"i0peovisation" she began playing in
these eoncerts eighteen yeare ago. 1t

and changes ~ little.
Tim Tharlow came out and sang hts
unchanging. All, So lFair." The
agony Of the audience during this time
At trial wss fairly unsupportable. Hi.
high notes are greatly admired, because
his voice Away. breaks into . thin fal
setto squeak on them, and he can not
make 80 much noise as be Can in his
chest tones. If Tim had been born
| dumb, or his audience deaf, the world
would be much happier.
The only exc.se for putting Miss
I Maltby an b programme every time
there il q Concert in S~hawneet"wn is
that her father il worth $500 and
OWNS the largest brewery in Lowell
ton aud general ability u. /" the grade

BY last night. the "Spinning Wheel
Song" from Faust If Marguerite
could have sung it - Miss Maltby sang
it. it would have saved the poor child =
world Of trouble. II would have scar
ed Faust, Mephistopheles aud the
whole gang Of them out Of the country.
There 10 no more music in Nr. Maltby's
b~ung-sta.ters than there is in his dAugh
ter.
Mr.. Bellows sang "Oh, Ye Tears"
Mr.. Bellows has . rich, baritone voice
tunateiy for his effort last evening. no
body knew he was singing until he fin
ished the butchery Of art and bowed
himself off the stage. Everybody
thought he was just trying his voice.
If ever his voice is tried it will be con
victed Oh its own evidence.
James H. Blowson and Ebert Haffut
sang "Larboard Watch" 1t il q great
! pity these young men are not aware
their mouths. we're made tocatchs mosqui
tues rather than to sing. Haffut's voice
is SO like u fog horn that he may be
pardoned for a tendency to sing marine
songs, but u aside from a plea of natu
raj deprav,ty and 6endi.h mi-anthropy
there is no excuse whatever for Blow
son'seinging in public. These mi.gui
d.d young meu were down u, the pr"
gramme for a second atrOcity, bnt it
was omitted at the urgent request Of
the audience.
The piano used at this massacre was
the same jingling old harpsicord from
the music store If Jingle, Jangle T. Co.,
that has appeared for q free puff At all
local Outrages for the past twenty
years. Last winter this enterprising
house traded off the old dulcimer for q
silver watch ; but the man who got the
alleged piano brought it back, paid 81
forfeit. and got his watch. and we Sup
pose all future concerts in Shawnee
town will bs haunted by this venera-
ble nightmare Until the police interferes.
Our readers will be delighted 10
learn that this is the last concert of the
season, and a man can 60 to the opera
house io safety for the next three or
four months.
The receipts of the pandemonium
were over $3.50, and old Hardwick, pro
prietor Of the hall, with his accustom
I'd rapacity, gobb!ed nearly u fourth
Of that sum for the use of AL old barn
that looks shabby in comparison with
= second rate market house.
Six of the thickest- headed young
men ic Shawnestown, in borrowed
dress coats, acted as ushers, and acted
most wreich<dly at that.
Taken altogether. it was the dreari-
est occasion that has bored u Ion. suf
fering community since the CONCERT
that preceded it.
