LAST NIGHT's CoNoERT.-One of the most
enjoyable and unsteady successful concerts
yet given in Sacramento was that of last
evening for the benefit Of the organ fund Of
the Congregational Church. The church was
crowded by critical audience. The great
organ in it's new position was heard to better
advantage by far than when in the gal
lery. It was proven last evening to be
one of the best-roned instruments on
the coast. The programme was long and
sufficiently varied to please the most exscting.
It was carried out as heretofore announced
in these columns. While comparisons might
be deemed invidious, it is but just to say that
though all those who took part were up to
good standard, and won for themselves high
credit; yet the vocalism of Mrs. Mariner
Campbell, the organ playing by 5. ID. Mayer
and the flute and piano duets by Neale and
Miss Cameron were the chief prominent
features. The instrumental gem of the
evening was uuquestionably the trio for flute,
piano and organ, by Charles A. Neale, Miss
Jessie Z. Cameron and Mr.. Mayer. Mrs.
Mariner. Campbell was received with what
it is no exsggeration to say amounted to an
ovation. It testified to the high estimate
OF that lady's vocal abilities held by the
Sacramento public. Neither time nor space
permit detailed or critical review of the
programme or the methods OF the performers.
Il must suffice to say that Mrs Csmpbelrs
vocalization was exquisite, and in 70
measure did she move the audience
more deeply than whep, in answer to
an enthusiastic encore, she sang the
old-time, sweetly worn, Flow Gently
Sweet Alton" Mrs. Pinkham, Mrs. Ross,
Mrs. Fogarty, Mrs. Carter and Messrs. San
born, Bruner, Auerbach, Fritz and Beaumont,
in the selections for mixed voices, acded an
interest TO the concert without which it would
have not attained the musical SUCCESS it GER
tainly was, and their efforts were thoroughly
appreciated. Mr.. Mayors tenor solos TO his
own accompaniment ware more than pleas
ing. Miss Amelia BOIL was accompanied for
tbs evening, end filed the difficult position
with great credit. A. Sapborn YVES an efficient
musical director. The fl raj tributes TO the
ladies were rich and numerous.

THE TIvoLI The attendance at Turner
Hall last evening to witness the third pre-
sentatiou of Fraud and Its Victims was
quite good. Much of the scenery is new, the
play has considerable merit, and the cast of
characters is really fine. James Goodwin,
an original German comedian. does some
very fine specially acting. John Mortell
sings several Irish songs in good style and
voice. Friday evening there will be joint
testimonial benefit rendered the proprietors,
Messrs Edward Barrett and Frank Rors-
