THE KELLOGG CONCERT.
A Disappointing Entertainment-The
Great Singers Failing Power.


Miss Clara Louise Kellogg gave concert last
night at Congregational Church, assisted by
Madame Julie Rlve-King tie distinguished
pianiste; Miss Pauline Montegrlfio, contralto;
Miss Ollie Torbett, violinist; and Messrs. Ross
David, tenor; Francis II. Noycs, barytone; and
not large one, and though not enthusiastic,
were so gracious as TO honor oil the participants
with recalls. The interest Of the evening of
course centered in Miss Kellogg, whose repu.
tation is so well established that to criticlsc
her efforts last evening would seem almost
sppertious Her sole nGm9,eer5 The famous
Love Thee" were certainly widely different in
character, and her rendition ofthemwas equally
different, her singing In the ballad showing
really fine taste, and displaying some good
elaborate song of Gounod's showed her power
OF vocalization, though II also exposed the de-
the wear and tear of constant singing. KEEL,
lOgg's use of her voice at this time proves
clearly the marvellous vocal attainment she ac-
qnired in her earlier career, aided by fine nat
ural gifts, and her operate career has been
brilliantly successful. Her execution is as of
old-easy, methodical, trills perfect, brilliant
eadenzas, &e,ayet one experiences a sense o, Of
thought Of the day when the songstress and her
great colleague, Cary, achieved their joint
triumphs in grand opera. Miss Kelloggs en-.
core song to her first solo was Mr.. BlschoHs
"supposing," and was sung very daintily.
The concerted numbers were the quartette
from RigolettO' and the celebrated
rived but little benefit from the programmes
as many of the selections were changed with
out any explanation, which is an unwarranta-
bic Liberty Mr. Charles PTat who was am

pianist, played the accomplishments, and most
acceptably, too, and Nine. King played the
piano solos, q Saint-Saens "Rhapsodie;"
Chopin's Polonaise in A fiat, and Liszt's Grand
Polonaise In major. Nine. King Is SO we'll
known in Washington that she needs no
praise.
The concert, as whole, was somewhat dis

JOCKEY CLUB JOTTINGs.
The Threatened Clash With Our Mary
land Neighbors Avoided-yaluable
Sfnkes for the Nav Meeting.

last night TO consider the request OF the Mary
land Jockey Club for n concession in the date
selected for the autumn meeting at Ivy City
both clubs having claimed the same week. AS
aresult of the deliberations had, 1t was decided
TO avoid n clash that would probably detract
rom the interest and success OF both the PIN
lico and Ivy City meetings by taking the week
succeeding the one heretofore claimed, thus
making our meeting follow that at Baltimore
as II did last year.
Some consideration was given to the events
to be advertised for the spring meeting, and,
while the VIII, programme of stakes was not
settled some important decisions were made.
II was determined to open three stakes, to each
ofwhich 81 900 will be added, two of which
will be for all ages, and one for d.year.olds.
They are the Wizards Hotel Stakes, for Swear
olds, ono and one-eighth miles; the National
Hotel stakes, handicap, for all ages, one and
oneeighth miles, and the Riggs House Stakes,
for all ages, one and one.halt miles, The last
named event will take the place of the Diplo-
matte Stakes. The very liberal added money
given In these stakes betokens the character of
the programme that win be offered for the
spring meeting The club has determined to
make 1t the most notable turf reunion ever
held here in the merry month of May.
