THE FESTIVAL is OVER.
The Last of the Thomas Concerts
Decidedly the BEST.


The grand music festival, of which SO
much was expected and for which so much
was said and written, is over, and the YER
lest critic and most carping fauit-hnder Is
hushed into silence by its most perfect sue
cess-except in the matter OF complete at
tendance If the coming OF Maplesoh Win
Patti and Nicolini was contingent on lhe
evident appreciation of the festival MINNIE
apolis will rejoice next spring.
The attendance last night was not as
large as should have concluded the 1eStlVal,
or as the magnificent concert deserved, Tor
1t was by far the best OF the series ana was
a fitting conclusion to the festival. The Or
chestration was superb, the gem beng the
Hungarian rhapsody of List. during which
the audience sat spellbOund, breaking at
the end into raptureS OF applause ana COM
polling an encore. Beethoyen'S HaleluJah
chorus, which closed the program, was
grand beyond words, but as 1t came at the
end if suffered accordingly. Nine. Fursch-
Madi sang diyinely the sob! Perfdo" of
Beethoven with infinite expression and
power. Miss ,Juch suffered no loss of her
popularity in her aria from SpOhr and the
soft. sweet and mellow voice of Miss Camp
bell in Gluck's ''AIceste" was heard with
pleasure Mr. Heinrich had only the reel
tative in the same number and Mr.. Winch,
in his solo from Won Weber, was shade
less effective than usual.
NOTES.
Miss Juch's dress for last night was of
heavy white satin THAT would stand
alone" fitting close up on the throat and
with elbow sleeves. 1t was trimmed with
gold lace Her ornaments were diamonds,
as before Miss Campbell wore canary
satin, sleeveless. trimmed with chenille.
1t being the farewell, Mr.. Thomas was
pleased to unbend little in the matter OF
encores. When the audience realized that
Misses Campbell and Juch, after the CAL
ceste." had returned to do something more
than bow, the applause was rapturous and
prolonged.
What became of Miss Clapper, whose
name filled all the bills and who was an
nounced as such a card? That was Clap
per that evidently was muf1ed.
In the ''Alceste" Mr. Winch sang from be-
hind the scenes and kept the audience cram
ing about and peering among the chorus to
discover the owner of that superb voice.
Two of the electric lights went out during
the concert and the audience grew appre-
hensive, fearing repetition OF the Coliseum
darkness year ago.
The solo of Mr. Winch, "Under the
Blooming Trees,'' was either unsatisfactory
or underestimate, and the encore was not
strikingly spirited.
Nine Fursch-Madi made her last appear
ance in costume of black velvet with a
crystal front, eminently becoming and ele-
CANT.
Herr Thomas could not refuse the encore
on the selection from List as the demand
was so enthusiastic and appreciative.
Mr.. Heinrich is not only at his best in
recitative, but the only real satisfaction he
gave was in this.
The program was much larger than usual
"a species Of giving the moneys worth at
the last moment.
