core with bow. Mr.. Emil Winkler,
who accompanied here in her first
piece, proved himself quite equal to
difficult and delicate requirement. On
Thursday Miss Kriehr favored the au-
from Rossini's opera ;'Semiramis,"
'.Bel Raggio Lusinghier." Very much
the same may be said of Miss Kriehn
as vocalist that we have said as all
instrumentalist. Her training is ap-
parent in everything she attempts.
Being vociferously recalled MissKriehn
sang the "Romanze," "Truebe Augen,
liebchen taugen, einem holden Brautch-
en- nicht," from "Der Freischutz"-
Weber.
The accomplished vocal teacher at
the Baptist Female College, Mrs. Perry,
has q, voice of peculiar tone, but
beautiful and very flexible one. While
suffering from indisposition the first
night still she sang her selection so
sweetly that she won hearty recall,
to which she responded with bow.
On the second evening Mrs. Perry's
selection was an excellent one, and she
sang it with much feeling. The general
judgment was that it was a beautiful
song beau;ifu ly sung. Mrs. Perry

Her selection was a brilliant and diff
cult one, displaying delicacy of touch
and dexterous lingering. To the hearty
applause which She received she re-
turned a graceful curtsy. On the Sec
ond evening she played "Rigoletto,"
by Liszt.
Mr.. A. w. Smith sang beautiful
selection from "Il Trovatore," ell ba-
len del suo sorrisO d'una stella vince il
raggio," &c., by many persons thought
to be one of the finest of VerdTs COM
positions. Supported by an orchestral!
accompaniment Mr.. Smiths grand
baritone voice filled the hall from stage
to gallery, and the conclusion of the
song was the signal for storm of ap-
plause, to which MIR. Smith responded
with one Of his usual graceful obeis-
ances. On the next night his selection
was the beautiful ballad, "The Irish
Emigrant's Lament" and granting an
encore he repeated, by request, "1l
Balen.'
Messrs. Walk and Venable in their
harmonica and guitar selections made
very good music and captured large
part of the audience. They were prob.
ably more enthusiastically applauded
than anyone on the programme and re-
sponded with a second air or two.
The ''male quartet on this occasion
was improved by the elimination Of a
gentleman and the substitution of a
lady of versatile talents, Miss Hays,
elocutlon teacher at the Baptist Female
College, who seems equally at home in
music and defamation. Miss Hays
has very sweet voice, and her solo
in "The Tap on the Window Pane
was very much enjoyed by the audi
ence. Miss Hays made decidedly
favorable impression, and will always
be welcomed by Lexington audiences.
| Mr.. Haerle's taubleaux were beauti-
full, and were very much praised They

liness was heightened by scenic effects,
red fire and graceful posing, they form
ed pictures of rarest beauty. While
all the tableaux were attractive,
"Faith, Hope and Charity" was the
most eloquent one, and it so appealed
to the heart that it was by particular re-

various causes the tabieanx were not not
presented exactly in the order in which
they are named on the programme.
The young ladies whose graces lent
charm to the tableaux were Misses
Mary Bour, Carrie Hines, Emma
Wink'er, Gussie Winkler, Minnie
Winkler, Anna Meierer, Emma Walk,
Louisa Mehl, Bertha Hainkel, and a
number of little ladies who were no
less pretty than their elder sisters.
Among the gentlemen were Messrs.
j. M. Crowder, Ed. Braeuninger, Paul
Frischer, Frank Schmidt and Joseph
A. wilson. Whatever that masculine
instinct that always compels mans
admiration for particular woman
may suggest to us we dare only to
think which of the above young ladies
'shone resplendent' as beauty's queen
but we may venture to say that Miss
Emma Walks glorious wealth of hair,
enveloping her as it did, like the veil OF
q Spanish signorita attracted the atten.
ton and admiration of the audience.
Prof. Gimbel as accompanist, and
Capt. Conner as impresario, distin-
guished themselves, and altogether the
concerts were artistic triumphs.
Other matters worthy of mention in
connection with them will be founo
in our local columns on the inside
pages.
