LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.
The Programme Changed, Hut n
Charming Entertain ent
Presented.

The concert given by Mr.. b. B. and
Madame Mazzucato Young in the Theatre
last evening was grand success in every
respect, and was enjoyed by one of the
largest and most appreciative audiences
which any concert here has ever drawn.
Just before the programme was begun
Mr.. Young announced that at late hour
Mr.. Gorlinski had sent word that, owing
to a severe soreness in his throat, it
would be quite impossible for him to
sing his numbers. This threw visible
damper over the audience, as it struck
out what nearly everybody had expected
would be the gem OF the evening-the
beautiful duet "Suona la Tromba, which
was to have been rendered by Mr.. Young
and Mr.. Gorlinski. 1t also lost for the
audience Mr.. Gorlinski's "Air from
Simone Boccanegra," which also was
looked forward to as u feature OF the
evening. However, this disappointment
was soon almost forgotten when the
other excellent numbers began to ring
out. The solo and chorus, "Hear My
Prayer" was generally accorded the first
place among several almost equally beau
tiful numbers, although Mrs. Druce-
Pugsley was not really at her best in the
soprano solo. Towards the last she did
some splendid execution, which, with
the admirable chorus, made most favor
able impression OH the audience
Mr.. Weihe may always rest assured
that his exquisite violin solos will be en-
cored, and last evening they seemed even
more perfect and enhancing than ever
before, and left the feeling, particularly
after his delightful Hungarian airs, that
there was certainly nothing which could
add to the excellence OF his artistic exc
cution. This also was true of Mr. Young
i'm each of his pieces. In the rather odd
selection, "Ring Out, Wild Bells" his
voice was afforded a magnificent oppor-
tunity, and while there was certain
oddness about the music, which seemed
to conspire against its being thoroughly
appreciated by the entire audience, there
were many present who thought it was
rich and beautiful, and this opinion grew
as the number progressed. II was in his
encore, however, al Tempesto," that
Mr.. Young achieved his most remarkable
success. His rendering of this popular,
difficult solo seemed to surpass all the
best efforts on "The Tempest of the
Heart" ever heard here-certainly not
excepting Campobello.
Mr.. w. w. Macintosh had a selection
which called for much force and empha-
sis, and he met the requirement with an
ability that at once places him in the
lead OF our several tenor voices here, at
least in respect to power and ready con-
troll. As much cannot be said with
regard to smoothness and sweetness.
many OF his higher notes being taken
with little harshness, which might be
overcome with care. In the duet between
M. III. HcAllister and T. Il. Harper, both
gentlemen did remarkably good work and
received a well-merited encore. Both
voices have made wonderful progress
under Mr.. Youngs teaching, Mr.. Meal
listers gaining much force and clearness,
and Mr.. Harper's Il most desirable
smoothness. The latter gentleman has
n splendid voice, and but for his some
what ungraceful mannerisms might attain
an enviable popularity. Miss Louie
Wells, in her exquisite ballad, Crosses
Softly Blooming" was received with lib
eral applause and repeated one verse in
an encore, which the admiring audience
insisted upon.
Throughout the various numbers Mad
anne Young's inimitable Accomplishments
afforded the utmost appreciation. and
her beautiful part in the trio with Mr..
Weihe and Mr.. Mcintyre was admirably
executed, as was also those of the two
gentlemen. AT the conclusion OF the
programme there was still the feeling
that something had been wanting, and
although the audience accepted the ex-
cuse for Mr.. Gorlinski's non-appearance
with apparent good grace, yet it was by
everybody n matter greatly TO be re-
gretted.
