The Paollo Of sho TrimaPy ana secondary
SaDg N the Opsrs House.
Yesterday afternoon at o'clock was
the time set f0r the public entertainment
in Fulton opera house by the pupils in tho
primary schools under the lead Of Prof. j.
b. kevinski, the musical instructor and
though tho rain had been pouring down
in torrents nearly all day, it did not pre-
vent the little people from assembling at
their several school rooms, and marching
to the opera house. When they reached
there many of them were drenched to the
| skin, and their pretty white dresses and
gay ribbons and feathers presented rather
limp appearance, but the children them-
selves were as joyous as could be. Every
primary school in the city was represented
except Miss Lolo Zug's and Miss Clifton's.
On account of the terrible rain storm
that was prevailing, these teachers do
clined to allow their pupils to make the
march from the school room to the opera
house, much to their disappointment.
The number of children who took part
in the concsrt was between 600 and 700.
The smaller boys aud girls, to the number
of 400 or more, took seats upon the stage,
upon which had been erected long rows of
benches, rising one above the other, like
the ssats in the gallery, The older boys
and girls oocupied seats in tho front part
of the parquet. The remaining seats in
| the parquet, parquet circle and gallery
were open to the public, who filled the
house despite the bad weather.
The programme consisted Of about
twenty. five selections, some of tho chorus
es being given by the combined voices of
all the schools. They were very we'll
rendered, the time, tone and pitch being
accurate, though the schools had never
sung in rehearsal. Some other of tho
selections were given by tho respective
schools, the German and English school
singing three pieces and tho African school
one piece, all which wero creditably rem
dered. The organ accomplishments were
played by F. w. Haas.
The Secondary COncerI.
The concert given by the pupils of the
secondary schools took place in the even
ing, the opera house being crowded to its
utmost capacity. Tho wet weather con.
tinued, but the rainfall was not so heavy
as it was during the afternoon The girls
numbering $50 occupied tho seats on tho
stage, and the boys, numbering not more
than $50, had seats in the parquot MIR.

Every piece on tho programme was
we'll rendered, nearly all Of them wero
loudly applaude., and Judging from the
volume of applause tho solos, Tho Old
Stone Mill' by Mamie Berner, and
prince Charmins"by Mamie Dickey, were
most highly appreciated by tho audience.
" III Wait Till tho Clouds Roll BY" was
received with special favor. Tho concert
was creditable to tho pupils, their teach
ers, and the musical instructor and af-
fOrded an evenings enjoyment alike to
listeners and performers.
