A crowded house greeted Mrs. Ada Gary
Sturgis and the Portland artists last evening.
on the occasion of their second concert in Cor
ham, Throughout the entire evening the au-
dience was in the highest good humor, and the
singers were repeatedly encored. Where all
the members were good it is hard to say which
were the best. One of the most pleasing &c.
lections was the trio, ooh wake, Lady,, BY
Messrs. Colby, Bowdoin and Shaw, which was
followed by the humorous trio. s'What gave

an encore. Mrs. Beals won her way to favor
by her excellent rendering of the pathetic po-
EN-, 1.-THE Blacksmith's story" She possesses
fine voice which she has under perfect con-
troll. Mrs. Sturgis, as former Gorham girl
was warmly greeted, and receiving an enthusi
astic re call, she responded with the old favor
lite, "Home, Sweet Home" which had pecu-
liar appropriateness under the circumstances.
The reading of Teddy Malone's Courtship,r
by Mrs. Beals, drew shouts of laughter, and
won for her double encore, to which she re-
sponded with 1.-THE Jiners," and '.The Hin
DOCS Paradise. Perhaps the most carefully
rendered song of the evening was the ballad,
kathleen MavourDeen", by Mrs. Sturgis
Her pure soprano voice had in this piece an
excellent opportunity to show its best qualiica-
tions. Being recalled she gave, "Two's COM
pany, three is none''. The concert closed with
that prime favorite, cold Folks at Home"
