A Delighted Audience Listen to the Next
can Orchestra.
Notwithstanding the fact that the major
portion of our musical people are absent at
Milwaukee, or enjoying a midsummer
siesta at some of the many resorts, u fair
audience assembled at the Opera House
last evening to listen to the concert given by
the Mexican Typical Orchestra. Certainly
amor enjoyable evening was never spent
at this place of amusement. The concert
was all that most enthusiastic and san
guine hoped, while it far surpassed the eX-
pectations of not Il few, and we predict
with confidence crowded houses at the
matinee to-day and ut the final concert Of
the series this evening. The programme

The curtain rose, at S:l5 o'clock, upon a
stage unique in concert experience i'll this
city. The centre was occupied by a piano,
by the side of which stood Senior Antonio
Cuyas, the conductor, while, on either
hand, and in the rear, were ranged the
artists, seventeen in number, i'll char
acteristic Mexican costume, SOmbreOS,
SerdpeS and all. The SOmbreOS were re-
tanned during the redition ofthe first num-
Der upon the programme, but the excessive
heat soon compelled the musicians to
dOff their headgear. The orchestra in
cluded three ~viOlins, two ~'cellos, four
mandOlins, three guitars, c%lariOnet,
flute, and two salteriOS, and
exquisite Indeed was the harmony evoked,
Nothing like it had ever before been heard
in Wheeling, and as the opening strains OF
the beautiful overture to ROsini's opera OF
civilian Tcll' came from the stage the
listeners sat as if cntranced. The over
ture has, OF course, been played often here,
but never have the mandolin and s~alteriO
lent their aid in interpreting il, and the eff
feet was pleasing in the extreme, the audi
ence manifesting its delight at the
conclusion of the number in
hearty applause. The RecuerdOs Mazurka
called forth an encore, which was respond
ed to with the American Song and
Dance" composed by Cuyas, the cOnduc-
tor. The saltcriO solo by Senior Jesus
Necoechea was also encOred, he playing in
response a Mazurka by Arquidi. Senor
Adrian V. Galarza'S c%lariOnet solo was Sc
well received that 4 second selection, yari-
atoms by the performer upon the ali
climbing up the Golden Stairs was de-
manded. Mile Florence Forbes at once
became Il ~favOrite with the audience, and
in response to the double encore she sang,
with fine effect, Gluck's Laughing Song
and The Flowers that Bloom in the
Spring" from "MikadO."
Of the remainder of the programme, to
p]articularize would be but tn repeat the
expressions of approval we have already
written. We cannot refrain, however, from
referring to the pleasing Interpretation OF
Thomas Raymond" overture.
This afternoon and tonight entire
changes of programme will be given, and
lovers of good music should attend.
