A MUSICAL EVENT
WORTHY OF THE HIGHEST PRAISE.
The Concert ut the Opera House Last Even.
Ing by the Mexican Typical Orchestra
Was one of the Most Enjoyable
Events Ever Given In This City.

The concert given at the Opera House
by the celebrated Mexican Typical
0rchestrslAst evening, was one OF the most
unique and pleasing that has ever been
given in this city, The audience was a
shamefully small one, but one that was
wildly enthusiastic, The artists from the
sister Republic captured the audience at
the very outset, and as each number was
played the fortunate few who were pre-
sent grew more and more delighted.
Each selection was listened to with
the most intense attention, and at
its conclusion a storm Of applause was
always sure to break forth, several times
not Csasing until an encore had been
given, The fact OF the audience being so
small was partly due, no doubt, TO the
short announcement that wa made OF the
appearance OF this wonderful organization,
hut II talk from those who were there and
the most unstinted praise has any effect,
the house will be filed at this afternoon
and evening performances.
The orchestra numbers seventeen, and
every man is thorough artist. All but
three Of the instruments used are stringed
ones, and the effect produced IL charming
ly fascinating, The artists appeared In
their native Mexican garb, wearing on
their heads high and broad, silver bound,
white sombreros, which we're gracefully
raised in recognition Of the applause that
was 50 libeTally showered upon them.
The programme was OF the very highest
order, yet not at all heavy; 1t was all pure
melody; nothing Ike ii was ever heard
here before, ltWasol q nature that cannot
be described or imagined, but must be-
heard In order to understand how sweet II
is. II was q concert that has never been
surpassed by any given in this city, A
noticeable feature was the delicaCy oil
touch and expression that marked each
indiyidual'a work and the precision and
unity OF action was wonderful. The
changes from the soft passages to the
louder onea we're made in such q smooth
manner that n was completely carried
away.
The opening number was Rossini's well
known overture to civilian Tell" II
was aselection that every one could appre'
Ciate, and is rendering was so superb that
the applause was fairly wild, 1t was a
revelation to the audience, a large por-
ton Of which had gone not knowing
what to expect. The other selections
were as follows:
