JUSTIN M'cARTHY's RECEPTION
The Distinguished lrishmnn Lionircd
by all Glasses OF Pcoplc--The
Coming Celebration OF
narvard's 25Oth An
niycrsary.

BosroN, Oct. 27,-[ -[Corrcspondcnce of
the BEE. With the approach of the win.
ter season, matters musical as well as
theatrical, are beginning to take their
regular autumnal boom.
The Boston Symphony orchestra stands
among the foremost of the Hubs muny
excellent musical organizations. 1t has
seventyiive members, many of whom
have played in 1t for years. This season
there are half n dozon new importations
from the best orchestras of Europe, from
Bcyreuth, Mainz opera house, Parlow's,
the Bllse orchestra, etc, giving ii a mcnl-
bcrship which in point of general ability
has never been surpassed in this country.
Concerts are given by 1t in Music Hall
every Friday afternoon and Saturday
evening, those in the afternoon giving an
opportunity for ladies and many others
who could not otherwise attend, to do so.
| dare say that no other one thing in this
city has done so much in tho way of ed
ucatlng the masses up to an appreciation
of classic music rs these concerts which
have been given every season for five
years. and 1t is to be hoped will continue
to be given for many years to come.
DINEY
is still attracting crowds at the Hollis
street theatre, while Thatcher, Primrose
and Vests minstrcls amtse vast audi
cnces at the Globe. Mr. }. X. Emmett is
again at the Boston as Fritz. Another
act has been added to tho play but in
other respects the performance is the
same as when it was last produced.
Fritz's singing and dancing are as per-
fectly melodious and graceful as ever.
The juvenile portions of the play have
elected much praise.
JUSTIN MCCARTHY.
The enthusiasm attendant upon tho
visit of Hon. Justin Mccarthy docs not
seem II wano. | understand that Mr..
Mccarthy is enjoying his visit here very
much. Ii is said that he missed the at
tentions Of the literary metropolis. Goth
amites were shy of him apparently be-
cause he was II mere peader for the rights.
of his poor Fathcrand. But, however,
the case may have been in New York.
Mr.. Mccarthy has certainly no reason to
complain of coldness or inhospltality in
Boston. Indeed, if he complain ut all, it
must needs be to the effect that Boston
ians are tiriug him with dinners and par
ties and lunchcons in his honor. To say
nothing of the private attention that has
been paid Inn, public entertainments in
his honor have been many and cordial,
and there seems to be no end to them. j
am told that Mr. Mccarthy never began
to appreciate his own work until he heard
that magnificent address of welcome
from a man to whom every BoStonan
points with pride, john Boyle O'Reilley,
editor of the Pilot Mr.. O'Rcillcy's SEN
tences on that memorable evening in the
Parker House were such Il tribute as any
man might be proud of, however great
his political or literary achievements.
On the night following Mr.. Mccarthy
h,r hA u IstIN
at which festive occasion no less person
than William ID. Howells presided. There
was less formality than on the previous
night but Mr.. Mccarthy says Ike never
enjoyed himself more in his life. ,n
Mr.. Howells, by the way, is n first rate
man to SIT at the head of table. He has
Il peculiar faculty of enchanting and
his tribute to the literary genus OF the
guest was II beautiful gem OF rhetoric.
This, with Mr.. McCarthy's speech and
talks by other gentlemen, made the even.
ing,s entertainment most delightful.
Mr.. Mccarthy is being lionized by the
best people of Boston and vicinity.
Thursday he was the guest of Professor
where may be seen the most magnificent
